A Revised 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 Multilink Protocol (MP)                         
       Author(s) : K. Sklower, B. Lloyd, G. McGregor, 
                   D. Carr, T. Coradetti
       Filename  : draft-ietf-pppext-multilink-11.txt
       Pages     : 23
       Date      : 06/13/1995

This document proposes a method for splitting, recombining and sequencing 
datagrams across multiple logical data links.  This work was originally 
motivated by the desire to exploit multiple bearer channels in ISDN, but is
equally applicable to any situation in which multiple PPP links connect two
systems, including async links.  This is accomplished by means of new PPP 
[2] options and protocols.                                             

The differences between the current PPP Multilink specification (RFC1717) 
and this memo are explained in Section 10.  Any system implementing the 
additional restrictions required by this memo will be backwards compatible 
with conforming RFC 1717 implementations.

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pppext-multilink-11.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 Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
