Title : ForCES Forwarding Element Functional Model
Author(s) : L. Yang et al.
Filename : draft-yang-forces-model-01.txt
Pages : 19
Date : 2002-11-5
This document defines a functional model for forwarding elements
(FEs) used in the Forwarding and Control Plane Separation (ForCES)
protocol. This model is used to describe the capabilities and state
of ForCES forwarding elements within the context of the ForCES
protocol, so that ForCES control elements (CEs) can control the FEs
accordingly. The model is to specify what logical functions are
present in the FEs, what capabilities these functions support, and
in what order these functions are or can be performed. The
forwarding element model defined herein is intended to satisfy the
requirements specified in the ForCES requirements draft [FORCES-
REQ]. Using this model, predefined or vendor specific logical
functions can be expressed and configured. However, the definition
of these individual functions are not described and defined in this
document.

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
