A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP over Optical Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Automatic Switched Optical Network (ASON) Architecture
                          and Its Related Protocols
	Author(s)	: O. Aboul-Magd et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ipo-ason-00.txt
	Pages		: 17
	Date		: 18-Jul-01
	
This draft describes an architecture for intelligent optical 
networks. This architecture is called the automatic switched optical 
networks (ASON). ASON is a client-server architecture with well-
defined interfaces that allows clients to request services from the 
optical network (server). ASON architecture and its generic 
automatic switched transport networks (ASTN) has been an active 
study area both at T1X1 and ITU [2,3].

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipo-ason-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.
