A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: IP Header Compression

   This document describes how to compress multiple IP headers and TCP
   and UDP headers per-hop over point-to-point links.  The methods can
   be applied to of IPv6 base and extension headers, IPv4 headers, TCP
   and UDP headers, and encapsulated IPv6 and IPv4 headers.
 
   Headers of typical UDP or TCP packets can be compressed down to 4-7
   octets including the 2 octet UDP or TCP checksum.  This largely
   removes the negative impact of large IP headers and allows efficient
   use of bandwidth on low- and medium-speed links.

NOTE:	The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
