This document defines Address Settlement by Peer-to-Peer (ASP), a
peer-to-peer (P2P) binary signaling protocol for usage on the
Internet.  A P2P signaling protocol provides its clients with an
abstract hash table service between a set of cooperating peers that
form the P2P network.  ASP is designed to support a P2P Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) network, but it can be utilized by other
applications with similar requirements.  ASP introduces the notion of
usages, which are a collection of data types that are required for a
particular application.  For SIP, these types include location, STUN
and TURN servers.  ASP defines a security model based on a
certificate enrollment service that provides peers with unique
identities.  ASP also provides protocol extensibility and defines a
migration methodology, allowing for major upgrades of the P2P network
without service disruption.

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.
