All,

We would like to bring the attention to this ID announcement.  This draft
saw the same "connection-oriented" problem laid out by
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ppvpn-cl-tunneling-vpn-00.txt
. However, the proposal lay out by
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-allen-lap-ipv6-00.txt dealt more
than PPVPN.  It dealt with broadband Internet access too.  We would like to
seek the interest of ipng group, ppvpn group, and other interesting party to
advance this work.  Thanks.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.

	Title		: IPv6 for Large Access Providers
	Author(s)	: K. Allen, W. Chen
	Filename	: draft-allen-lap-ipv6-00.txt
	Pages		: 12
	Date		: 2002-10-11
	
This document discusses how Large Access Providers (LAP) could use 
IPv6 to solve current technical challenges.  In particular, IPv6Æs 
large address space and optional header mechanism can be used to 
provide scalable and manageable broadband Internet access and 
Virtual Private Network (VPN) services.  A new optional header to 
support forwarding-plane based VPNs is proposed.

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.
