Driven by Internet economics, service providers and enterprises
alike have shown strong interest in adding traffic-control
capabilities to network devices. These capabilities would enable
network operators to define and deliver minimum or maximum levels of
bandwidth, delay, and jitter for multiple classes of traffic.
Perhaps more importantly, network operators would be able to set
pricing according to the level of service delivered.

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.
