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

	Title		: IPDC Media Control Protocol
	Author(s)	: I. Elliott
	Filename	: draft-elliott-ipdc-media-00.txt
	Pages		: 43
	Date		: 03-Aug-98
	
The protocol described in this document is a member of the IP  
Device Control (IPDC) family of protocols.  The IPDC protocols 
are proposed as a protocol suite, components of which can be used 
individually or together to perform connection control, media control, 
and signaling transport for environments where the service control 
logic is separated  from  the network access server. Please see 
the references section for other IPDC documents.

The protocol specification presented here is intended for use between 
a media gateway controller and a media gateway.  The media gateway 
may be capable of acting as a voice over IP gateway, voice over ATM gateway, 
dialup modem media gateway, circuit switch, or cross-connect.  
Using the IP Media Control protocol presented here, the media gateway 
controller can send messages to the media gateway to cause events 
such as tones to be generated or detected within a media stream.

Send a message to:	mailserv at ietf.org.  In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-elliott-ipdc-media-00.txt".
	
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.
