>Description of Working Group:
>  
>The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP, RFC 2661) is a protocol for
>tunneling PPP (RFC 1661) sessions over various network types.  The group
>will provide a forum for discussion and development of extensions to
>L2TP, and actively advance the L2TP base protocol to Internet Standard.
>  
>The group will:
>  
>Define and advance standard MIB for L2TP management.
>
>Produce documents describing how L2TP operates over link types other 
>than IP (e.g., ATM, Frame Relay, etc.)
>  
>Identify and define specific parameters and modes of IPsec in order to
>aid interoperability when IPsec is used to secure L2TP traffic.
>  
>Define and review the definition of any additional IETF AVPs which are
>of interest to the group.
>
>Milestones:
>  
>Oct 99 - Advance L2TP MIB to Proposed Standard
>          (already requested in pppext)
>Feb 00 - Advance L2TP Security to Proposed Standard
>May 00 - Advance L2TP over ATM and Frame Relay to Proposed Standard
>Sept 00 - Advance L2TP to Draft Standard
