A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Transmission of IP Datagrams over Token-Rail Ethernet
Author(s) : L. Dodd
Filename : draft-dodd-token-rail-00.txt
Pages : 4
Date : 2004-3-2
This memo describes an experimental method for the transmission of
IP datagrams oven token-rail ethernet.
This specification is primarily useful in
Metropolitan Area Networks, but can be applied in economies of scale
(N, HO, WIDE, O, and others).
This is an experimental, not recommended standard.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Much of the rural United States while enjoying many modern
conveniences is still quite limited in the available choices for
broadband internet connectivity. This could be remedied by the use
of an infrastructure that has existed virtually untapped for its
communications potential. The continued advances in DSP technology,
multiple frequency encoding and general alloy based metallurgy leads
to the inevitable conclusion: using encoded signals transmitted over
the information super railway could provide much needed relief to
users in rural areas.

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.
