A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title		: The NetIQ Common Agent Protocol

This document outlines the protocol used by the NetIQ Common
Agent as part of its NetIQ Common Agent Protocol (NCAP).  This binary
protocol is used over standard TCP sockets and provides both 
real-time event delivery and common RPC services to the NetIQ
Common Agent Framework.  These messages may be encrypted via SSL 
based on the handshake received during intial negotiation.  
Messages consist primarily of a standardized header and a 
variable-length body.

Both message header and content are stored in sender-native form,
pursuant to a reader-makes-right data flow.

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.
