Title : Requirements for Emergency Telecommunication
Capabilities in the Internet
Author(s) : H. Folts, C. Beard, K. Carlberg
Filename : draft-ietf-ieprep-requirements-01.txt
Pages : 10

This document outlines user requirements for IP-based networks to
enable and support an authorized emergency telecommunications service
(ETS)for use by authorities to organize and coordinate emergency and
disaster relief operations. It provides a basis from which ETS can
be negotiated to provide user-acceptable communications. The
requirements in this document relate to user expectation and are
general, functional, and intended to provide wide latitude in
implementation options. This document also provides in-depth
background on the state of emergency telecommunication capabilities
as they exist today and the motivation for supporting these in IP
networks. Specific system requirements involving end-to-end and
network issues are presented in [2].

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.
