[Gorry Fairhurst <gorry@erg.abdn.ac.uk>]

I'm pleased to announce the latest draft of the ULE spec.

The author's main aim in publishing this rev. a long way before the ID 
cut-off for the next IETF is to stimulate feedback on the design 
decisions taken so far (of course, things may change if there's a good 
case) and to ask for help with the next stage.

This is still a work in progress, and there are still many cases we need 
to clarify, and quite a few minor issues to be fixed with the text. One 
or two important design decisions will also be needed soon.

Please review and email the authors and/or list.

Best wishes

Gorry Fairhurst

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


	Title		: Ultra Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) for transmission 
			  of IP datagrams over MPEG-2/DVB networks
	Author(s)	: G. Fairhurst, B. Collini-Nocker
	Filename	: draft-fair-ipdvb-ule-01.txt

The MPEG-2 TS has been widely accepted not only for providing 
digital TV services, but also as a subnetwork technology for 
building IP networks. This document describes an Ultra Lightweight 
Encapsulation (ULE) mechanism for the transport of IPv4 and IPv6 
Datagrams and other network protocol packets directly over ISO MPEG-
2 Transport Streams (TS) as TS Private Data.

In the body type:

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.
