Filename : draft-tuexen-rserpool-reqts-00.txt
Pages : 6
Date : 23-Oct-00
The goal is to develop an architecture and protocols for the management
and operation of server pools supporting highly reliable applications,
and for client access mechanisms to a server pool.
This document defines requirements and architecture for management and
access to server pools, including requirements from a variety of
applications, building blocks and interfaces, different styles of
pooling, security requirements and performance requirements such as
failover times and coping with heterogeneous latencies.

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.
