Title : A Framework for Data Packet Access Control (DPAC)

This informational draft describes the DPAC (Data Packet Access
Control) framework, potentially under PANA, to efficiently control
'data packets' to access the network. Instead of using potentially
more expensive crypto-based mechanisms such as IPSec (layer 3) or IEEE
802.11i (layer 2), DPAC introduces the possibility of using and
negotiating a range of light-weight per-data-packet source
authentication methods to control the data packets from PANA Clients
(PaC). In DPAC, each data packet sent from PaCs to Enhanced Point (EP)
can be classified, with high probability, as either valid or invalid.
Furthermore, under this framework, it is possible for EP and PAA to
account reliably on the network usage of each PaC.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-wu-pana-dpac-framework-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.
