Nimrod is a scalable routing architecture designed to support a dynamic 
internetwork of arbitrary size, to provide service-specific routing in the 
presence of multiple constraints, and to admit incremental deployment 
throughout an internetwork.  The key features of Nimrod include 
representation of internetwork connectivity and services in the form of 
maps at multiple levels of abstraction; source- and destination-controlled 
route generation and selection based on maps and traffic service 
requirements; and source- and destination-controlled message forwarding 
according to the routes selected.  This document contains a description of 
Nimrod functionality and a specification of the protocols constituting 
Nimrod.  In particular, the operations pertinent to the map, locator, 
adjacency, route, and forwarding databases are described, and the Reliable 
Transaction, Update, Query-Response, Path Management, and Discovery 
protocols are specified.

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.
							
For questions, please mail to [e-mail].
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
