Layer Two Tunnelling Protocol Over ATM Adaptation Layer 5
RFC 3355, “Layer Two Tunnelling Protocol Over ATM Adaptation Layer 5”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2002 by A. Singh, R. Turner, R. Tio, S. Nanji. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) [RFC2661] provides a standard method for transporting the link layer of PPP [RFC1661] between a dial-up server and a Network Access Server, using a network connection in lieu of a physical point to point connection. This document describes the use of an ATM network for the underlying network connection. ATM User-Network Interface (UNI) Signalling Specification Version 4.0 [SIG40] or Version 3.1 [SIG31] with ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) [ITU93] are supported as interfaces to the ATM network.
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.
