This document discusses the creation the of negative-acknowledgment
(NACK)-oriented reliable multicast (NORM) protocols. The rationale
for NORM goals and assumptions are presented. Technical challenges
for NACK-oriented (and in some cases general) reliable multicast
protocol operation are identified. These goals and challenges are
resolved into a set of functional 'building blocks' that address
different aspects of NORM protocol operation. It is anticipated that
these building blocks will be useful in generating different
instantiations of reliable multicast protocols.

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.
