The IP Over NBMA (ION) Archive

[Internet-Drafts@ietf.org]

 A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories. This draft is a work item of the Internetworking Over NBMA 
 Working Group of the IETF.                                                

       Title     : NBMA Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP)

This document describes the NBMA Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP).  NHRP
can be used by a source station (host or router) connected to a 
Non-Broadcast, Multi-Access (NBMA) subnetwork to determine the 
internetworking layer address and NBMA subnetwork addresses of the "NBMA 
next hop" towards a destination station.  If the destination is connected 
to the NBMA subnetwork, then the NBMA next hop is the destination station 
itself.  Otherwise, the NBMA next hop is the egress router from the NBMA 
subnetwork that is "nearest" to the destination station.  NHRP is intended 
for use in a multiprotocol internetworking layer environment over NBMA 
subnetworks.       

This document is intended to be a functional superset of the NBMA 
Address Resolution Protocol (NARP) documented in [1].   

Operation of NHRP as a means of establishing a transit path across 
an NBMA subnetwork between two routers will be addressed 
in a separate document.

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-rolc-nhrp-09.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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 Internet-Draft.
