This informational draft describes the DPAC (Data Packet Access
Control) framework, potentially under PANA, to efficiently control
'data packets' to access the network. Instead of using potentially
more expensive crypto-based mechanisms such as IPSec (layer 3) or IEEE
802.11i (layer 2), DPAC introduces the possibility of using and
negotiating a range of light-weight per-data-packet source
authentication methods to control the data packets from PANA Clients
(PaC). In DPAC, each data packet sent from PaCs to Enhanced Point (EP)
can be classified, with high probability, as either valid or invalid.
Furthermore, under this framework, it is possible for EP and PAA to
account reliably on the network usage of each PaC.

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.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
