A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Internetworking Over NBMA Working Group of the IETF. Title : Guidelines for Next Hop Client (NHC) Developers Author(s) : R. Carlson, L. Winkler Filename : draft-carlson-nhrp-03.txt Pages : 8 Date : 02-Mar-99 This document provides guidelines for developers of the Next Hop Resolution Protocol Clients (NHC). It assumes that the clients are directly connected to an ATM based NBMA network. The same principles will apply to clients connected to other types of NBMA networks. The intent is to define the interaction between the NHC code and the TCP/IP protocol stack of the local host operating system. The NHC is capable of sending NHRP requests to a Next Hop Resolution Protocol Server (NHS) to resolve both inter and intra LIS addresses. The NHS reply may be positive (ACK) indicating a short-cut path is available or negative (NAK) indicating that a shortcut is not available and the routed path must be used. The NHC must cache (maintain state) for both the ACK and NAK replies in order to use the correct shortcut or routed path. The NAK reply must be cached to avoid making repeated requests to the NHS when the routed path is being used.

Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-carlson-nhrp-03.txt". 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-carlson-nhrp-03.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.
