A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions Working Group of
the IETF.
Title : PPP Link Balancing Detection (LBD)
Author(s) : J. Carlson
Filename : draft-ietf-pppext-lbd-03.txt
Pages : 5
Date : 29-Jun-01
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] provides a standard method for
transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links. PPP
also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol (LCP), that allows
the detection of optional link handling procedures, and a Multilink
procedure (MP) [2], that allows operation over multiple parallel
links. This document defines an extension to MP called Link
Balancing Detection (LBD) and the LCP options that control this
extension. This extension allows high-speed implementations to use
the single-NCP negotiation model of MP without requiring the cost
associated with the unneeded MP datagram buffering and reordering.

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.
