	Title		: User Multiplexing in RTP payload between 
                          IP Telephony Gateways

   This draft proposes a method to multiplex a number of low bit rate
   audio streams (upto 256) into a single RTP/UDP/IP connection between
   IP telephony gateways. Audio samples from different users are assem-
   bled into an RTP payload thus reducing the overhead of RTP/UDP/IP
   headers. To identify users sharing a single RTP/UDP/IP connection,
   a 2 byte MINI-Header is proposed. A channel negotiation procedure to
   assign and release channels on a single UDP connection between
   gateways is described.

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.
