A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the Routing over Large Clouds 
Working Group of the IETF.                                                 

       Title     : "Local/Remote" Forwarding Decision in Switched Data Link
                   Subnetworks

The IP architecture assumes that each Data Link subnetwork is labeled with 
a single IP subnet number. A pair of hosts with the same subnet number 
communicate directly  (with no routers); a pair of hosts with different 
subnet numbers always communicate through one or more routers. As indicated
in RFC1620, these assumptions may be too restrictive for large data 
networks, and specifically for networks based on switched virtual circuit 
(SVC) based technologies (e.g. ATM, Frame Relay, X.25), as these 
assumptions impose constraints on communication among hosts and routers 
through a network.  The restrictions may preclude full utilization of the 
capabilities provided by the underlying SVC-based Data Link subnetwork.  
This document describes extensions to the IP architecture that relaxes 
these constraints, thus enabling the full utilization of the services 
provided by SVC-based Data Link subnetworks.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-rolc-apr-04.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 [e-mail].
							

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