A New Internet Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.                                                          

       Title     : RAP: Internet Route Access Protocol                
       Author(s) : R. Ullmann
       Filename  : draft-ullmann-rap-00.txt
       Pages     : 19

RAP is a general protocol for distributing routing information at all 
levels of the Internet, from private LANs to the widest-flung 
international carrier networks.  It does not distinguish between 
"interior" and "exterior" routing (except as resticted by specific 
policy), and therefore is not as restricted nor complex as those 
protocols that have strict level and area definitions in their models.

The protocol encourages the widest possible dissemination of topology 
information, aggregating it only when limits of thrust, bandwidth, or 
administrative policy require it.  Thus RAP permits aggressive use of 
resources to optimize routes where desired, without the restrictions 
inherent in the simplifications of other models.                      

While RAP uses IPv7 addressing internally, it is run over both IPv4 
and IPv7 networks, and shares routing information between them.  A 
IPv4 router will only be able to activate and propagate routes that 
are defined within the local AD, loading the version 4 subset of the 
address into the local IP forwarding database.
