       Title     : Transient Neighbors for IPv6 over ATM

This document is a revision of a model for IPv6 over ATM that was presented
to a joint session of the IPATM, IPNG, and ROLC working groups in March 
1996.  The model attempts to allow conventional host-side operation of the 
Neighbor Discovery protocol, while also supporting the establishment of 
'cut through' ATM routes. This is achieved through the use of Redirects to 
create Transient Neighbors, IPv6 protocol operation within the IPv6 Logical
Link Group, and partial NHRP for location of off-Link destinations.  The 
egress router detects flows that are suitable candidates for cut-through, 
uses NHRP to locate a better link level first hop, and then issues a 
Redirect message to the source.

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-armitage-ion-tn-00.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.
							
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.
