A Revised Internet Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts

       Title     : IP Address Encapsulation (IPAE): A Mechanism for 
                   Introducing a New IP

The Internet seeks to increase the amount of IP address space that is 
available for hosts and to decrease the amount of table storage that 
is required by routers.  Ultimately, the current IP (IP version 4) and
any replacement are inherently incompatible and movement to the new 
version requires very substantial change to the IP installed base.  
This specification describes an approach which retains as much 
software, operations and training as possible, and minimizes overall 
operational disruption by allowing subsets of the Internet to carry 
the new-format Internet datagrams inside old-style IPv4 datagrams, 
using a technique called "IP Address Encapsulation" (IPAE).  This 
permits incremental and asynchronous introduction and makes transition
entirely optional for portions of the Internet infrastructure.  It 
further permits early reduction to routing table size.
