Much confusion and misunderstanding exists in the Internet community on the
use of rate limits on the Multicast Backbone (MBONE).  This document 
dispels some of the misunderstandings of rate limits and describes the best
current practices for when to implement rate limits on MBONE links.   

It is a product of the Multicast Deployment Working Group in the 
Operational Requirements area of the Internet Engineering Task Force.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mboned-limit-rate-guide-00.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.
