RSVP version 1 has been designed for optimum support multicast.
However, in reality multicast is being used much less frequently than
anticipated. Still, even for unicast (one sender, one receiver)
full-fledged multicast-enabled RSVP signaling must be used. As
pointed out in the NSIS requirement draft, multicast would not be
necessarily required for an NSIS signaling protocol. This draft
analyses ingredients of RSVP Version 1 which are affected by
multicast, and derives how these ingredients may look like if
multicast is not supported in the generic RSVP signaling protocol and
adapt related functionalities accordingly - we call the resulting
feature set 'RSVP Lite', a potentially more light-weight version of
RSVP.

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
