On February 27-28, 1997, the IPng Working Group held an interim
meeting in Palo Alto, California to consider adopting Mike O'Dell's
'GSE - An Alternate Addressing Architecture for IPv6' proposal [GSE].
In GSE, 16-byte IPv6 addresses are split into distinct portions for
global routing, local routing and end-point identification.  GSE
includes the feature of configuring a node internal to a site with
only the local routing and end-point identification portions of the
address, thus hiding the full address from the node.  When such a
node generates a packet, only the low-order bytes of the source
address are specified; the high-order bytes of the address are filled
in by a border router when the packet leaves the site.

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.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
