A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Zero Configuration Networking Working Group of the
IETF.
Title : ZeroConf Requirements
Author(s) : M. Hattig
Filename : draft-ietf-zeroconf-reqts-01.txt
Pages : 21
Date : 29-Nov-99
Zero Configuration (ZeroConf) Networks are a particular class of
TCP/IP networks that may be established in the home, in small
offices or even on an impromptu basis. ZeroConf Networks do not
have and should not be expected to have user configurable network
infrastructure such as DHCP servers, DNS and other administered
services. This is because typical ZeroConf network users neither
have the skill nor desire to configure, administer, or manage a
network.
This document presents ZeroConf protocol requirements for four
areas: IP host configuration, domain name to IP address
resolution, IP multicast address allocation, and service
discovery. Security issues and the transitions between a ZeroConf
protocol and a non-ZeroConf protocol are also discussed within the
context of these protocol requirements.

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
Internet-Draft.
