A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Forwarding and Control Element Separation 
Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: ForCES Forwarding Element Functional Model
	Author(s)	: L. Yang, et. al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-forces-model-01.txt
	Pages		: 36
	Date		: 2003-10-6
	
This document defines the forwarding element (FE) model used in the 
Forwarding and Control Plane Separation (ForCES) protocol.  The 
model represents the capabilities, state and configuration of 
forwarding elements within the context of the ForCES protocol, so 
that control elements (CEs) can control the FEs accordingly.  More 
specifically, the model describes the logical functions that are 
present in an FE, what capabilities these functions support, and 
how these functions are or can be interconnected. This FE model is 
intended to satisfy the model requirements specified in the ForCES 
requirements draft [1].  A list of the basic logical functional 
blocks (LFBs) is also defined in the LFB class library to aid the 
effort in defining individual LFBs.

In the body type:

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.
