A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Reliable Server Pooling Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Aggregate Server Access Protocol (ASAP)
	Author(s)	: R. Stewart, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-rserpool-asap-13.txt
	Pages		: 43

Aggregate Server Access Protocol (ASAP) in conjunction with the
   Endpoint Handlespace Redundancy Protocol (ENRP) [7] provides a high
   availability data transfer mechanism over IP networks.  ASAP uses a
   handle-based addressing model which isolates a logical communication
   endpoint from its IP address(es), thus effectively eliminating the
   binding between the communication endpoint and its physical IP
   address(es) which normally constitutes a single point of failure.

   In addition, ASAP defines each logical communication destination as a
   pool, providing full transparent support for server-pooling and load
   sharing.  It also allows dynamic system scalability - members of a
   server pool can be added or removed at any time without interrupting
   the service.

   ASAP is designed to take full advantage of the network level
   redundancy provided by the Stream Transmission Control Protocol
   (SCTP) RFC2960 [4].  Each transport protocol to be used by Pool
   Elements (PE) and Pool Users (PU) MUST have an accompanying
   transports mapping document.  Note that ASAP messages passed between
   PE's and ENRP servers MUST use SCTP.

   The high availability server pooling is gained by combining two
   protocols, namely ASAP and ENRP, in which ASAP provides the user
   interface for pool handle to address translation, load sharing
   management, and fault management while ENRP defines the high
   availability pool handle translation service.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-rserpool-asap-13.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.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
