A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: PPP Link Balancing Detection (LBD)
	Author(s)	: J. Carlson
	Filename	: draft-ietf-pppext-lbd-02.txt
	Pages		: 5
	Date		: 13-Jul-00
	
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] provides a standard method for
transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links.  PPP
also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol (LCP), which allows
the detection of optional link handling procedures, as well as a
Multilink procedure (MP) [2], which allows operation over multiple
parallel links.  This document defines an extension to MP called Link
Balancing Detection (LBD) and the LCP options that control this
extension.  This extension allows high-speed implementations to use
the single-NCP negotiation model of MP without requiring prohibitive
datagram buffering and reordering costs.

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.
