A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Address Allocation for PE-CE links within an
RFC2547bis Network
Author(s) : J. Guichard
Filename : draft-guichard-pe-ce-addr-01.txt
Pages : 0
Date : 2003-1-8
This document proposes to allocate a block of globally unique IPv4
addresses for the exclusive use of Service Providers that provide
[L3VPN] based Services. The Service Provider may use these addresses
for the provisioning of IP addresses to the links that connect
Customer Edge (CE) routers with Provider Edge (PE) routers (PE-CE
links), and/or for the IP addressing of attached CE routers.
The main motivation for this proposal is to simplify the Service
Providers' operations in the scenario where they monitor PE-CE links,
and/or CE-routers, while at the same time conserving IPv4 address
space.
This addressing scheme is not intended for use by VPNs that span
more than one Service Provider, unless co-operation of addressing
structure is maintained to ensure uniqueness of addresses between
providers.

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.
