 A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories. This draft is a work item of the Integrated Services over 
 Specific Link Layers Working Group of the IETF.                           

       Title     : The Multi-Class Extension to Multi-Link PPP

A companion document describes an architecture for providing integrated 
services over low-bitrate links, such as modem lines, ISDN B-channels, and 
sub-T1 links [1].  The main components of the architecture are: a real-time
encapsulation format for asynchronous and synchronous low-bitrate links, a 
header compression architecture optimized for real-time flows, elements of 
negotiation protocols used between routers (or between hosts and routers), 
and announcement protocols used by applications to allow this negotiation 
to take place.                      

This document proposes the fragment-oriented solution for the real-time
encapsulation format part of the architecture.  The general approach is 
to start from the PPP Multilink fragmentation protocol [2] and provide 
a small number of extensions to add functionality and reduce the overhead.  

This document is a product of the IETF ISSLL working group.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-issll-isslow-mcml-01.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
