     Scope Modifiers in Intellectual Property Declarations
     
     draft-maturana-ipscope-02.txt
     Date: 16/08/2005
     Authors: I Maturana, I Robredo
     Working Group: Individual Submissions (none)
     Formats: txt
    The purpose of this RFC is to focus discussion on intellectual property problems in the Internet. This document introduces and defines scope modifiers to be used in intellectual property declarations. These modifiers abstract the ownership behavior of resources available in interoperable environnments, such as the Internet.

     Architecture for the Use of PE-PE IPsec Tunnels in BGP/MPLS IP VPNs
     
     draft-ietf-l3vpn-ipsec-2547-05.txt
     Date: 08/08/2005
     Authors: Eric Rosen
     Working Group: Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks (l3vpn)
     Formats: txt
    In BGP/MPLS IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), VPN data packets traveling from one Provider Edge (PE) router to another generally carry two MPLS labels, an "inner" label that corresponds to a VPN- specific route, and an "outer" label that corresponds to a Label Switched Path (LSP) between the PE routers. In some circumstances, it is desirable to support the same type of VPN architecture, but using an IPsec Security Association in place of that LSP. The "outer" MPLS label would thus be replaced by an IP/IPsec header. This enables the VPN packets to be carried securely over non-MPLS networks, using standard IPsec authentication and/or encryption functions to protect them. This draft specifies the procedures which are specific to support of BGP/MPLS IP VPNs using the IPsec encapsulation.
