A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions Working Group 
of the IETF.

	Title		: Layer Two Tunneling Protocol 'L2TP' Security Extensions 
                          for Non-IP networks

   The L2TP document [1] defines the base protocol  which  describes  the
   method  of  tunneling  PPP [2] data. The L2TP document states that the
   security mechanism used over an IP network is to use the IETF's  IPSEC
   protocols.
 
   L2TP was designed in such a  way  as  to  be  able  to  run  over  any
   underlying   layer  (i.e.  Frame  Relay,  ATM,  etc.).  This  document
   specifies  extensions  to  the  L2TP  protocol  in  order  to  provide
   authentication  and  integrity  of  individual  packets  in a tunneled
   session over a  network  where  IPSEC  or  another  suitable  security
   protocol is not available.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
