	Title		: The Bordercast Resolution Protocol (BRP) for Ad Hoc 
                          Networks

The Bordercast Resolution Protocol (BRP) provides the bordercasting
packet delivery service used to support network querying applications.
The BRP uses a map of an extended routing zone, provided by the local 
proactive Intrazone Routing Protocol (IARP), to construct bordercast
(multicast) trees, along which query packets are directed. Within the
context of the hybrid ZRP, the BRP is used to guide the route requests
of the global reactive Interzone Routing Protocol (IERP).  The BRP
employs special query control mechanisms to steer route requests away
from areas of the network that have already been covered by the query.
The combination of multicasting and zone based query control makes
bordercasting an efficient and tunable service that is more suitable
than flood searching for network probing applications like route 
discovery.

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.
