Abstract

This document specifies a generic tunnel management protocol that allows remote dial-in users to access their home network as if they were directly attached to the home network. The user's client software uses an address contained in the home network address space for the remote access. Packets to and from the home network are tunneled by the Network Access Server (NAS) to which the user connects and a Home Agent (HA) on the user's home network. This allows for the support of access to Virtual Private Networks and also allows for the use of protocols other than IP to be carried over the tunnel. An example of how the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) can be used to provide the necessary configuration information to support this service is also provided.
