A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Routing Policy System Working Group of the IETF. Title : Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL) Author(s) : C. Alaettinoglu, C. Villamizar, E. Gerich, D. Kessens, D. Meyer, T. Bates, D. Karrenberg, M. Terpstra Filename : draft-ietf-rps-rpsl-v2-00.txt,.ps Pages : 57 Date : 19-Nov-98 This Internet Draft is the reference document for the Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL). RPSL allows a network operator to be able to specify routing policies at various levels in the Internet hierarchy; for example at the Autonomous System (AS) level. At the same time, policies can be specified with sufficient detail in RPSL so that low level router configurations can be generated from them. RPSL is extensible; new routing protocols and new protocol features can be introduced at any time. RPSL is a replacement for the current Internet policy specification language known as RIPE-181 [5] or RFC-1786 [6]. RIPE-81 [7] was the first language deployed in the Internet for specifying routing policies. It was later replaced by RIPE-181 [5]. Through operational use of RIPE-181 it has become apparent that certain policies cannot be specified and a need for an enhanced and more generalized language is needed. RPSL addresses RIPE-181's limitations. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-rps-rpsl-v2-00.txt". 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.
