A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Common Reliable Accounting for Network Element (CRANE)
Author(s) : K. Zhang, E. Elkin
Filename : draft-kzhang-crane-protocol-00.txt
Pages : 40
Date : 20-Jun-01
This document defines the CRANE protocol that enables efficient and
reliable delivery of any data, mainly accounting data from Network
Elements to any systems, such as mediation systems and BSS/OSS. The
protocol is developed to address the critical needs for exporting
high volume of accounting data from NE�s with efficient use of
network, storage, and processing resources.
This document specifies the architecture of the protocol and the
message format, which MUST be supported by all CRANE protocol
implementations.

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.
