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 Model
Author(s) : L. Yang, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-forces-model-05.txt
Pages : 117
Date : 2005-7-21
This document defines the forwarding element (FE) model used in
the Forwarding and Control Element 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, RFC 3564 [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.

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.
