A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the Integrated Services over 
Specific Link Layers Working Group of the IETF.                            

       Title     : Providing integrated services over low-bitrate links    
       Author(s) : C. Bormann

This document describes an architecture for providing integrated services 
over low-bitrate links, such as modem lines, ISDN B-channels, and sub-T1 
links.  It covers only the lower parts of the Internet Multimedia 
Conferencing Architecture [1]; additional components required for 
application services such as Internet Telephony (e.g., a session initiation
protocol) are outside the scope of this document.  The main components of 
the architecture are: a real-time encapsulation format for asynchronous and
synchronous low-bitrate links, a header compression architecture optimized 
for real-time flows, elements of negotiation protocols used between routers
(or between hosts and routers), and announcement protocols used by 
applications to allow this negotiation to take place.     

Annexes contain initial strawman proposals for the elements of the 
architecture, complemented by a list of issues that need to be 
resolved to proceed.   

This document is a submission to the IETF ISSLL working-group-in-creation. 

Comments are solicited and should be addressed to the working group's 
mailing list at [e-mail] and/or the author.

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

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
