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

	Title		: A Framework for Passive Packet Measurement
	Author(s)	: N. Duffield
	Filename	: draft-ietf-psamp-framework-05.txt
	Pages		: 32
	Date		: 2004-1-7
	
A wide range of traffic engineering and troubleshooting tasks rely
on timely and detailed traffic measurements that can be
consistently interpreted. This document describes a framework for
packet sampling that is (a) general enough to serve as the basis
for a wide range of operational tasks, and (b) needs only a small
set of packet selectors that facilitate ubiquitous deployment in
router interfaces or dedicated measurement devices, even at very
high speeds.  The framework also covers reporting and exporting
functions used by the sampling element, and configuration of the
sampling element.

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
Internet-Draft.
