	Title		: Licklider Transmission Protocol - Specification
	Author(s)	: S. Burleigh, et al.

This document describes the Licklider Transmission Protocol (LTP)
   designed to provide retransmission-based reliability over links
   characterized by extremely long message round-trip times (RTTs)
   and/or frequent interruptions in connectivity.  Since communication
   across interplanetary space is the most prominent example of this
   sort of environment, LTP is principally aimed at supporting "long-
   haul" reliable transmission in interplanetary space, but has
   applications in other environments as well.

   In an Interplanetary Internet setting deploying the Bundling protocol
   being developed by the Delay Tolerant Networking Research Group, LTP
   is intended to serve as a reliable convergence layer over single hop
   deep-space RF links. LTP does ARQ of data transmissions by soliciting
   selective-acknowledgment reception reports.  It is stateful, and has
   no negotiation or handshakes.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-irtf-dtnrg-ltp-03.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
