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-08.txt
Pages : 16

Many common TCP/IP protocols such as DHCP [RFC 2131], DNS [RFC
1034, RFC 1035], MADCAP [RFC 2730], and LDAP [RFC 1487] must be
configured and maintained by an administrative staff. This is
unacceptable for emerging networks such as home networks,
automobile networks, airplane networks, or adhoc networks at
conferences, emergency relief stations, and many others. Such
networks may be nothing more than two isolated laptop PCs
connected via a wireless LAN. For all these networks, an
administrative staff will not exist and the users of these
networks neither have the time nor inclination to learn network
administration skills. Instead, these networks need protocols that
require zero user configuration and administration. This document
is part of an effort to define such zero configuration (zeroconf)
protocols.

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.
