Title : IP Broadcast over ATM Networks. Author(s) : T. Smith, G. Armitage Filename : draft-smith-ipatm-bcast-00.txt Pages : 7 Date : 04/24/1995 This memo describes how the IP multicast service being developed by the IP over ATM working group may be used to support IP broadcast transmission. The solution revolves around treating the broadcast problem as a special case of multicast, where every host in the subnet or cluster is a member of the group. An understanding of the services provided by draft-ietf-ipatm-ipmc-04.txt is assumed. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-smith-ipatm-bcast-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 Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft. --NextPart Content-Type: Multipart/Alternative; Boundary="OtherAccess" --OtherAccess Content-Type: Message/External-body; access-type="mail-server"; server="mailserv@ds.internic.net" Content-Type: text/plain Content-ID: <19950424144009.I-D@CNRI.Reston.VA.US> ENCODING mime FILE /internet-drafts/draft-smith-ipatm-bcast-00.txt --OtherAccess Content-Type: Message/External-body; name="draft-smith-ipatm-bcast-00.txt"; site="ds.internic.net"; access-type="anon-ftp"; directory="internet-drafts" Content-Type: text/plain Content-ID: <19950424144009.I-D@CNRI.Reston.VA.US> --OtherAccess-- --NextPart--
