There has been a lot of interest in the networking community to allow for fast failure
detection followed by the fast restoration and recovery. It may be possible to provide
fast recovery using special mechanisms; however, there is a strong interest in
addressing this issue at a more fundamental level i.e. at IGP convergence because it
addresses the problem at a much broader scale.

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.
