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     : NBMA Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP)

This document describes the NBMA Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP).  NHRP
can be used by a source station (host or router) connected to a 
Non-Broadcast, Multi-Access (NBMA) network to determine the IP and NBMA 
network addresses of the "NBMA next hop" towards a destination station.  If
the destination is connected to the NBMA network, then the NBMA next hop is
the destination station itself.  Otherwise, the NBMA next hop is the egress
router from the NBMA network that is "nearest" to the destination station. 
Although this document focuses on NHRP in the context of IP, the technique 
is applicable to other network layer protocols (e.g., IPX, CLNP, Appletalk)
as well.                          

This document is intended to be a functional superset of the 
NBMA Address Resolution Protocol (NARP) documented in [1].                              

Operation of NHRP as a means of establishing a transit path across 
an NBMA subnetwork between two routers will be addressed in a 
separate document.

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