A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Zero Configuration Networking Working Group of the IETF. Title : Zeroconf IP Host Requirements Author(s) : A. Williams Filename : draft-ietf-zeroconf-reqts-10.txt Pages : 22 Date : 07-May-02 Many common TCP/IP protocols such as DHCP [RFC2131], DNS [RFC1034][RFC1035], MADCAP [RFC2730], and LDAP [RFC2251] must be configured and maintained by an administrative staff. This is unacceptable for emerging networks such as home networks, automobile networks, airplane networks, or ad hoc networks at conferences, emergency relief stations, and many others. Such networks may be nothing more than two isolated laptop PCs connected via a wireless LAN. For all these networks, an administrative staff will not exist and the users of these networks neither have the time nor inclination to learn network administration skills. Instead, these networks need protocols that require zero user configuration and administration. This document is part of an effort to define such zero configuration (zeroconf) protocols. Before embarking on defining zeroconf protocols, protocol requirements are needed. This document states the zeroconf protocol requirements for four protocol areas; they are: IP interface configuration, translation between host name and IP address, IP multicast address allocation, and service discovery. This document does not define specific protocols, just requirements. The requirements for these four areas result from examining everyday use or scenarios of these protocols.

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-ietf-zeroconf-reqts-10.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-ietf-zeroconf-reqts-10.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.
