A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : TFTP Big Block Number Option Definition
Author(s) : M. Johnston
Filename : draft-johnston-tftp-bigblk-00.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 2003-6-17
This document describes a mechanism that can be used by
TFTP and multicast TFTP (MTFTP) clients and servers to
reliably transfer very large files without embedding
additional alignment information into the data stream and
without experiencing dropped connections when the Block
Number field in the DATA/ACK packets rolls over to zero.

"get draft-johnston-tftp-bigblk-00.txt".
A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in
http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html
or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt
Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.
Send a message to:
mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-johnston-tftp-bigblk-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.
