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 : Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Addresses

As the Internet Protocol continues to increase in popularity, it
becomes increasingly valuable to be able to use familiar IP tools
such as ftp not only for global communication, but for local
communication as well. For example, two people with laptop computers
with built-in wireless Ethernet may meet and wish to exchange files.
It is desirable for these people to be able to use IP application
software without the inconvenience of having to manually configure
static IP addresses or set up a DHCP server [RFC 2131].

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.
