The local Message Bus (Mbus) is a simple message-oriented
coordination infrastructure for group communication within groups of
co-located communication peers. The Mbus provides automatic location
of communication peers, subject based addressing, reliable message
transfer and group communication. The protocol uses an IP multicast
group as a common communication channel between peers. The scope of
this group is strictly limited to link-local communication. This
document specifies the Mbus protocol, i.e., message syntax,
addressing and transport mechanisms.

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.
