A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the Point-to-Point Protocol 
Extensions Working Group of the IETF.                                      

       Title     : The PPP Bandwidth Allocation Protocol (BAP)

This document proposes a method to manage the dynamic bandwidth allocation 
of implementations supporting the PPP multilink protocol [1].  This is done
by defining the Bandwidth Allocation Protocol (BAP), as well as its 
associated control protocol, the Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol 
(BACP).  BAP will manage the number of links in a multlink bundle.  This 
includes defining datagrams to coordinate adding and removing individual 
links in a multilink bundle, as well as specifying which peer is 
responsible for which decisions regarding managing bandwidth during a 
multilink connection.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pppext-bacp-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.
							
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
