An overview of a  tag switching architecture is provided in [Rekhter].  
This document defines the Tag Distribution Protocol (TDP) referred to 
in [Rekhter].                       
                                          
TDP is a two party protocol that runs over a connection oriented transport 
layer with guaranteed sequential delivery.  Tag Switching Routers use TDP 
to communicate tag binding information to their peers. TDP supports 
multiple network layer protocols including but not limited to IPv4, 
IPv6, IPX and AppleTalk.                                 
                        
We define here the PDUs and operational procedures for this TDP and specify
its transport requirements. We also define aspects of the protocol that are
specific to the case where it is run over an ATM datalink.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-doolan-tdp-spec-01.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
