This document describes NSP+, an extension of the MAPOS NSP (Node
Switch Protocol). MAPOS is a multiple access protocol for
transmitting of network-protocol datagrams, encapsulated in High-
Level Data Link Control (HDLC) frames, over SONET/SDH. NSP is a
protocol for automatically assigning MAPOS node addresses. The NSP+
extension enables the nodes to provide their directly connected
switch with information about the multicast groups to which they
belong, so the switch forwards only required multicast frames to the
nodes.

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.
