	Title		: Reorder Density and Reorder Buffer-occupancy
                          Density -  Metrics for Packet Reordering Measurements

Out of order arrival of packets is a common occurrence on the 
   Internet, and it will be more widespread as link speeds increase.  
   Percentage packet reordering as a metric of reordering is vague and 
   unclear.  A good reorder metric will capture the occurrence and 
   characteristics of reordering comprehensively, and will have broader
   utility than merely distinguishing among different reordered
   sequences.

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
