Corporate Networks are making increasing use of the Internet to connect geographically diverse site networks rather than developing their own "leased line" WAN networks. Similarly, they are outsourcing their dial-in capability by replacing their banks of modems with a single connection to a Service Provider with geographically diverse Points Of Presence (POPs). In this way, users in a Corporate Network can dial local (or toll-free) numbers which will be routed to the nearest POP; then, be connected to their Corporate Network using some form of tunneling. There are two common forms of tunneling in use in the Internet today: Layer 2 (using L2TP, for example) and Layer 3 (using Mobile IP, for example). This paper presents a design for a Layer 3 Dial-in Virtual Private Network Service (DVS), based on Mobile IP. This design has been implemented by Bay Networks.
