The following is the announcement of a new WG draft. This draft draws together 
many discussions on and off the list over the past 12 months or so.

Please do consider if you can contribute on any topic relating to addressing 
over such networks. All questions and all inputs (no matter how small or 
large) are welcome!

        Title           : Address Resolution for IP datagrams over MPEG-2 
networks
        Author(s)       : G. Fairhurst, M. Montpetit
        Filename        : draft-ietf-ipdvb-ar-00.txt

   This document describes the process of binding/associating IPv4/IPv6
   addresses with MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS). This procedure is
   known as Address Resolution (AR), or Neighbour Discovery (ND). Such
   address resolution complements the higher layer resource discovery
   tools that are used to advertise IP sessions. In MPEG-2 networks, an
   IP address must be associated with a Packet ID (PID) and a specific
   Transmission Multiplex The document reviews current methods. It also
   describes the interaction with well-known protocols for address
   management including DHCP, ARP, and NDP, and provides guidance on
   usage.

Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
        mailserv at ietf.org.
In the body type:
        "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipdvb-ar-00.txt".

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.
