       Title     : Application of Internet Cache Protocol (ICP), version 2 
       Author(s) : D. Wessels, K. Claffy
       Filename  : draft-wessels-icp-v2-appl-00.txt
       Pages     : 20

This draft document describes the Application of the Internet Cache 
Protocol (ICP) as currently implemented in several World-Wide Web 
proxy cache packages.  A companion document (RFCXXXX, 
<draft-wessels-icp-v2-02.txt>) describes the ICP protocol itself.  
ICP was initially developed by Peter Danzig, et. al. at the 
University of Southern California as a central part of hierarchical 
caching in the Harvest research project[3].  Several independent 
caching implementations now use ICP, and although it is not yet 
a formal standard we consider it important to codify the existing 
practical uses of ICP for those trying to implement, deploy, and 
extend its use for their own purposes.  We specifically do not 
include judgments about whether or how one should use ICP; 
we merely document current practice.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-wessels-icp-v2-appl-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.
