	Title		: Negative-Acknowledgment (NACK)-Oriented 
                          Reliable Multicast (NORM) Building Blocks

   This document discusses the creation of negative-acknowledgment
   (NACK)-oriented reliable multicast (NORM) protocols.  The rationale
   for NORM goals and assumptions are presented.  Technical challenges
   for NACK-oriented (and in some cases general) reliable multicast
   protocol operation are identified.  These goals and challenges are
   resolved into a set of functional "building blocks" that address
   different aspects of NORM protocol operation.  It is anticipated that
   these building blocks will be useful in generating different
   instantiations of reliable multicast protocols.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org 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
