	Title		: An Archeitecture for Multi-Level Precedence and 
                          Preemption over IP

The intent of this document is to introduce an Architecture for Multi-
Level Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) into the IP realm. MLPP was 
originally written to create 'a prioritized call handling service' [1] 
in  combination with ISDN supplementary services. MLPP has two very 
simple concepts for voice (Real-Time) communications: 
A) setting or marking every session at inception with a 
Precedence level relative to others within a known network 
domain; and 
B) the end-stations or internetworking devices preempting 
lower relative priority sessions in order for higher 
relative level sessions to pass or occur during times of 
congestion at any point in that known, managed domain, 
including to the end-station (phone).

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.
