Layer Two Tunneling Protocol Differentiated Services Extension
RFC 3308, “Layer Two Tunneling Protocol Differentiated Services Extension”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2002 by P. Calhoun, W. Luo, D. McPherson, K. Peirce. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) provides a standard method for tunneling PPP packets. The current specification provides no provisions for supporting Differentiated Services (diffserv) over the L2TP control connection or subsequent data sessions. As a result, no standard mechanism currently exists within L2TP to provide L2TP protocol negotiations for service discrimination.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
