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

	Title		: RELIABLE UDP PROTOCOL
	Author(s)	: T. Bova, T. Krivoruchka

This Internet Draft discusses Reliable UDP (RUDP).  RUDP is a simple
packet based transport protocol.  RUDP is based on RFCs 1151 and 908 -
Reliable Data Protocol.  RUDP is layered on the UDP/IP Protocols and
provides reliable in-order delivery (up to a maximum number of
retransmissions) for virtual connections.  RUDP has a very flexible
design that would make it suitable for a variety of transport uses.
One such use would be to transport telecommunication signaling
protocols.

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.
