A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : MPLampS: Electricity over IP (with an MPLS control plane) Author(s) : B. Rajagopalan Filename : draft-bala-mplamps-00.txt Pages : 7 Date : 11-Sep-00 Mostly Pointless Lamp Switching (MPLampS) is an architecture for carrying electricity over IP (with an MPLS control plane). MPLampS has the potential to dramatically lower the price, ease the distribution and usage, and improve manageability of delivering electricity. This draft is motivated by such drafts as SONET/SDH over IP/MPLS [2,3] (with apologies to their authors). Readers of the previous drafts have been observed scratching their heads and muttering, 'What next?'. This draft answers that question. This draft has also been written as a public service. It was recently announced that the routing area will consider work items of the form 'foo-over-MPLS'. There are possibly many who are wondering how to exploit this opportunity and write random drafts to achieve prominence in the MPLS area. This draft illustrates the key ingredients that go into producing any 'foo-over-MPLS' draft and may be used as a template for all such work.

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-bala-mplamps-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.
