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

	Title		: The DCCP Service Code

This document describes the usage of the Service Code for the 
   Datagram Congestion Control Protocol, RFC 4340. Service Codes provide 
   a method to identify the intended service/application to process a 
   DCCP Connection Request. It provides improved flexibility in the use 
   and assignment of port numbers for connection multiplexing. The DCCP 
   Service Code can also enable more explicit coordination of services 
   behind NATs and firewalls. This document motivates the setting of 
   Service Codes by applications, rather than assigning a default 
   Service Code value of zero.

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.
