A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title		: IP-based Tool Requirements for MPLS Networks
	Author(s)	: T. Nadeau et al.
	Filename	: draft-nadeau-ip-basedtool-requirements-00.txt
	Pages		: 8

This memo describes requirements for operations and
management (OAM) based on IP-based tools for Multi-Protocol 
Label Switching (MPLS) [RFC3031] networks. As customers 
gain deployment experience with MPLS, managing these networks 
and services becomes pivotal to the service provider business. 
Minimal requirements include the ability to detect a break in 
the LSP data path and trace the source of the failure.
Therefore, maintaining core integrity is key in identifying
requirements for MPLS OAM.  The document scope is IP-based
tool requirement capture for fault detection, diagnostics,
and statistic reporting and security management.

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
