   The protocol described in this document provides the basis for 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.
 
   According to the framework provided by Cuervo et  al  [1],  the  IPDC
   protocol  suite operates between the Media Gateway Controller and the
   Media Gateway.  In terms of previous contributions to the experts  of
   Questions  13-14/16,  the corresponding entities are the Call Control
   and Media Control portions of the H.323 Gateway.   The  operation  of
   IPDC in the service of H.323 is clarified in a companion contribution
   entitled 'IPDC Architectural Framework' [3].

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

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
