A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the Inter-Domain Routing Working 
Group of the IETF.                                                         

       Title     : Analysis and Critique of the Current Practice of 
                   Implementing Symmetric Routing in the 
                   Multi-Provider Internet

In the current multi-provider Internet, it is common for an entity to have 
multiple service providers. Symmetric routing become increasingly important
for various reasons.  This memo documents and analyzes the current practice
in implementing symmetric inter-domain routing using BGP for several 
representative topologies of Internet connections.

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idr-symm-multi-prov-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.
							
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
