Implementation

The working group NSIS (Next Step In Signaling) is created with the
ambition to define a new signaling protocol. This signaling protocol
will be generic and applicable to the most of present and future
signaling applications. Some of these signaling applications are
resource reservation, communication protocol for middlebox, VPN, etc.
The intention of NSIS is to re-use, where appropriate, the protocol
mechanisms of RSVP while at the same time simplifying it and applying
a more general signaling model.
NSIS signaling protocol is composed of two layers. NTLP (NSIS
Transport Layer Protocol) layer is responsible for transporting
signaling messages. NSLP (NSIS Signaling Layer Protocol) is the upper
layer which contains functionality such as message formats and
sequences, specific to a particular signaling application.
This document outlines the proposal of implementation for NTLP which
can satisfy the requirements defined in the NSIS working group.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-luu-ntlp-con-imp-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.
