A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP over Resilient Packet Rings Working Group of the IETF.
Title : A Core Standard For Transmission of IP Packets Over
IEEE 802.17 (Resilient Packet Ring) Networks
Author(s) : F. Kastenholz
Filename : draft-ietf-iporpr-core-00.txt
Pages : 11
Date : 2002-12-6
This memo specifies a standard method of encapsulating IPv4,
IPv6, and MPLS datagrams for transmission over IEEE 802.17
Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) Networks. This method uses a
minimum of IEEE 802.17 functions and capabilities. The 802.17
network is treated as a simple, flat network, similar in many
ways to an Ethernet.
A later specification will build upon this standard. It will
make more of the features and capabilities of IEEE 802.17
networks available to IP and MPLS and specify the techniques to
use those features.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-iporpr-core-00.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.
