This document describes "version 3" of the Layer Two Tunneling
Protocol (L2TPv3).  L2TPv3 defines the base control protocol and
encapsulation for tunneling multiple Layer 2 connections between two
IP nodes.  Additional documents detail the specifics for
each data link type being emulated.

This document is a product of the Layer Two Tunneling Protocol
Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-l2tpext-tunnel-switching-05.txt

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

	Title		: PPP over L2TP Tunnel Switching
	Author(s)	: V. Jain, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-l2tpext-tunnel-switching-05.txt
	Pages		: 14
	Date		: 2005-3-18
	
PPP over L2TP Tunnel Switching, also called L2TP Multihop, is the 
   process of forwarding PPP payload from an L2TP session to another 
   L2TP session over a different tunnel. It facilitates moving the 
   logical termination point of an L2TP session, based on layer 2 
   characteristics or administrative policies, to different LNS. This 
   document introduces the L2TP tunnel switching nomenclature and 
   defines the behavior of standard AVPs in tunnel switching deployment. 
   The scope of this document is limited to the discussion of switching 
   PPP frames over L2TPv2 or L2TPv3 tunnels.

Welcome new L2TPEXT Co-chairs


L2TPEXT,

With my new appointment as Internet Area Co-Director, I will be stepping down 
from my L2TPEXT post. I am very happy to announce that Ignacio Goyret and Ron Da 
Silva have agreed to share the L2TPEXT chair seat going forward.

Those of you on this list with even the longest of memories, will undoubtedly 
remember Ignacio from the earliest of days working on L2TP. Ignacio wrote the 
code for the venerable TNT & MAX implementations at Ascend back in the 90's, and 
AFAIK still has a hand in what goes on at Lucent with this massive installed base.

At AOL, Ron oversaw implementation and deployment of one of the largest L2TP 
wholesale deployments on the planet. Those of us who sell gear knew when Ron 
wanted a new feature. He has since moved over to Time Warner Cable (where L2TPv3 
has been rumored to be deployed).

The work left on L2TPEXT's plate is mostly that which is expected of a mature 
group, though there are still some documents to finish up and perhaps one or two 
new ones in the pipeline. Thanks to everyone for all of the help over the years 
making interoperability of L2TP successful. It has been a pleasure working with 
all of you!

- Mark
