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

       Title     : Specification of Committed Rate Quality of Service

This document describes the network element behavior required to deliver a 
Committed Rate service in the Internet.  The Committed Rate service 
provides applications with a firm commitment from the network, that at a 
minimum the transmission rate they requested is available to them at each 
network element on their path.  The commitment of a given transmission rate
by a network element is not associated with a specific delay guarantee, but
requires that network elements perform admission control to avoid 
over-allocation of resources.

Send a message to:  [email-masked]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-intserv-commit-rate-svc-00.txt".
							
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.
							
For questions, please mail to [email-masked].

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
