	Title		: Requirements for the Dynamic Partitioning of Switching
                          Elements
      	Author(s)	: T. Anderson, J. Buerkle

This document identifies a set of requirements for the mechanisms 
used to dynamically reallocate the resources of a switching element 
(e.g., an ATM switch) to its partitions.  These requirements are 
particularly critical in the case of an operator creating a switch 
partition and then leasing control of that partition to a third 
party.

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
