The Virtual LAN Link State Protocol (VLSP) is part of the 
InterSwitch Message Protocol (ISMP).  ISMP was designed to 
facilitate interswitch communication within distributed determine 
and maintain a fully connected mesh topology graph of the 
switch fabric.  Each switch maintains an identical database 
describing the topology.  Call-originating switches use 
the topology database to determine the path over which 
to route a call connection.                          
                                      
VLSP provides support for equal-cost multipath routing, and 
recalculates routes quickly in the face of topological changes, 
utilizing a minimum of routing protocol traffic.

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-rfced-info-kane-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.
