   This document presents a quality of service (QoS) framework for IP
   based virtual private networks (VPNs).  For IP based VPNs to provide
   a service comparable to private line networks it has to provide
   a number of features including closed user groups, security and
   performance guarantees.  This document focuses primarily on the issue
   of performance, and provide a QoS framework which is applicable to
   various VPN solution that have been 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
