This document proposes a method to manage the dynamic bandwidth allocation 
of implementations supporting the PPP multilink protocol [2].  This is done
by defining the Bandwidth Allocation Protocol (BAP), as well as its 
associated control protocol, the Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol 
(BACP).  BAP can be used to manage the number of links in a multilink 
bundle.  BAP defines datagrams to co-ordinate 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-06.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.
