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

	Title		: Traffic Engineering & QoS Methods for IP-, ATM-, &
                          TDM-Based Multiservice Networks
	Author(s)	: G. Ash
	Filename	: draft-ietf-tewg-qos-routing-00.txt
	Pages		: 11
	Date		: 22-Nov-00
	
The draft describes, analyzes, and recommends traffic engineering (TE)
methods which control a network's response to traffic demands and other
stimuli, such as link failures or node failures.  These TE methods include:
*traffic management through control of routing functions, which
include call routing (number/name translation to routing address),
connection routing, QoS resource management, routing table management, and dynamic transport routing.
*capacity management through control of network design.
*TE operational requirements for traffic management and capacity
management, including forecasting, performance monitoring, and short-term network adjustment.
These TE methods are recommended for application across network types based on established practice and experience.

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.
