This draft is a work item of the Internet Architecture Board Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Architectural Implications of Link Indications
Author(s) : B. Aboba
Filename : draft-iab-link-indications-08.txt
Pages : 60
Date : 2007-2-21
A link indication represents information provided by the link layer
to higher layers regarding the state of the link. This document
describes the role of link indications within the Internet
Architecture. While the judicious use of link indications can
provide performance benefits, inappropriate use can degrade both
robustness and performance. This document summarizes current
proposals, describes the architectural issues and provides examples
of appropriate and inappropriate uses of link indications.

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.
