This document extends RFC 1958 [RFC1958] by outlining some of the
philosophical guidelines to which architects and designers of
Internet backbone networks should adhere. We describe the Simplicity
Principle, which states that complexity is the primary mechanism that
impedes efficient scaling, and discuss its implications on the
architecture, design and engineering issues found in large scale
Internet backbones

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
