 A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories. This draft is a work item of the Internetworking Over NBMA 
 Working Group of the IETF.                                                

       Title     : NHRP for Destinations off the NBMA Subnetwork

The NBMA Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) [NHRP] specifies a mechanism 
that allows a source station (e.g., a host or a router) on an NBMA 
subnetwork to find the NBMA subnetwork address address of a destination 
station when the destination station is connected to the NBMA subnetwork. 
For the case where the destination station is off the NBMA subnetwork the 
mechanism described in [NHRP] allows to determine the NBMA subnetwork 
address of an egress router from the NBMA subnetwork that is ``nearest'' 
to the destination station.  However, the ability of determining the egress 
router is constrained to the destinations that are directly connected 
to the egress router.                                            

This document describes extensions to the NBMA Next Hop Resolution
Protocol (NHRP) [NHRP] that allow to acquire and maintain the 
information about the egress router without constraining the 
destination(s) to be directly connected to the egress router.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ion-r2r-nhrp-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.
