One of the new "Core Technologies" listed for Mavericks is Application Layer VPN:

Application Layer VPN allows applications to individually establish secure virtual private network connections to remote services.

However, there is absolutely zero documentation on this. I have searched the web and Apple's support site all morning and cannot find, and there is no mention of, this feature; Except on the Mavericks what's-new page.

http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html

Why is this feature being advertised if it doesn't actually exist? Or does it?

Does anyone know?
 
I read that as there's a new developer API available. I think the developers will have to write their applications to take advantage of this feature.

Someone has. Take a look at the video VPN Server Mac OS X install and configure without any special knowledge! and see it action.

This is for configuring a system level VPN accessible to all applications, not a "Per-Application VPN".

I believe that the feature mentioned by the OP is something that is provided by the MacOS X Managed Client in 10.9. Using it requires MacOS X Server 3 and the new Profile Manager to push out per-app VPN Payload configurations to managed machines.
