While conventional wisdom has it that Wireless Access Points are
strictly Layer 2 bridges, such devices today perform some higher
layer functions of routers or switches in wired Infrastructure in
addition to bridging the wired and wireless networks.  For example,
in 802.11 networks,  Access Points can function as Network Access
Servers.  For this reason, Access Points have IP addresses and can
function as IP devices.

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.
