This memo specifies the Simple Middlebox Configuration (SIMCO)
protocol for configuring Network Address Translators (NATs) and
firewalls dynamically to create address bindings and open pinholes.
NATs and firewalls are a problem for applications using voice and
video streaming, such as IP telephony, because they need to establish
voice or video channels dynamically. The SIMCO protocol allows
clients to send requests for this purpose to serving NATs and/or
firewalls. The protocol is designed to provide a simple and basic
solution that can easily be implemented and used. The protocol meets
all requirements defined by the MIDCOM working group (see [4]) and it
implements the MIDCOM semantics [3].

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-stiemerling-midcom-simco-02.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
