1. L1VPN Working Group Scope
63rd IETF Paris August 2005

2. Charter Scope Read the charter! Read the Framework I-D
The L1VPN Working Group's task is to specify mechanisms necessary for providing layer-1 VPN services (establishment of layer-1 connections between CE devices) over a GMPLS-enabled transport service-provider network. The following two service models will be addressed:
Basic mode: the CE-PE interface's functional repertoire is limited to path setup signalling only. Provider's network is not involved in distribution of customer network's routing information.
Enhanced mode: the CE-PE interface provides the signaling capabilities as in the Basic mode, plus permits limited exchange of information between the control planes of the provider and the customer to help such functions as discovery of reachability information in remote sites, or parameters of the part of the provider's network dedicated to the customer.

3. Prioritization Walk before we run
Framework and Applicability I-D describe both modes, but…
Focus all solutions work on Basic Mode first
Look at the milestones
Feel free to work on I-Ds for Extended Mode, but…
Limited discussion on mailing list
No time at meetings
Won’t become WG drafts
…until Basic Mode is well-progressed
