The rapid growth of the Internet and the increasing number of Internet users have resulted in many scaling and growth problems with application designs focused on operations at the ends (i.e. the client or the server). This has led to a wide deployment of network edge caching proxies as a key strategy to address these problems. These systems have been very successful in accelerating Web content delivery and reducing the load on origin Web servers.

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.
