A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Network Discovery Protocol (NDP)
Author(s) : G. Bichot
Filename : draft-bichot-network-discovery-protocol-00.txt
Pages : 10

This document describes the Network Discovery Protocol (NDP), a
protocol that provides a way to broadcast information about the
network service accessible through the access network where the
information is broadcasted. This allows several service providers to
share the same access network. The public WLAN access network is
particularly targeted by this protocol. As a result a mobile terminal
listening NDP announcements discovers whether its Service provider
(Virtual WLAN operator) is supported by the WLAN it is currently
attached.

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.
