A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : PAX PDL - a non-procedural packet description language Author(s) : M. Nossik, F. Welfeld, M. Richardson Filename : draft-nossik-pax-pdl-00.txt Pages : 24 Date : 19-Oct-98 This document describes PAX Pattern Description Language (PDL). PAX is a special purpose language for definitions of filters (recognizers) for sequential inputs. The language is suitable for describing pattern matching criteria in policy-based networking devices such as QoS routers and switches, packet filters, RMON probes, traffic shapers, etc. It pro- vides consistent means of programming policy-based networking devices based on different hardware and software platforms. Programs written in PAX can be built incrementally, where elementary patterns can be used as building blocks for more complex ones. The language encourages modular and object-oriented design.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-nossik-pax-pdl-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.
