A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : TRACK PROTOCOL INSTANTION OVER UDP:TREE ACKNWOLEGEMENT
BASED RELIABLE MULTICAST

One of the protocol instantiations the RMT WG is chartered to create
is a TRee-based ACKnowledgement protocol (TRACK). Rather than create
a set of monolithic protocol specifications, the RMT WG has chosen to
break the reliable multicast protocols into Building Blocks (BB) and
Protocol Instantiations (PI). A Building Block is a specification of
the algorithms of a single component, with an abstract interface to
other BBs and PIs. A PI combines a set of BBs, adds in the
additional required functionality not specified in any BB, and
specifies the specific instantiation of the protocol.

In the body type:

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.
