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

        Title : Congestion Avoidance & Control for OSPF Networks

Based on overload and failure experience with link-state protocols, this
draft identifies means to enable link-state protocols to:
o avoid getting into congestion states wherever possible
o respond gracefully to network overloads and failures
o gracefully recover from massive loss of topology database
information
The proposed mechanisms include the following:
o throttle setups of link adjacencies
o reduce the rate of flooding of link-state-advertisements(LSAs)
o prioritized treatment of Hello & LSA ack packets
o database backup & resynchronization for graceful recovery from loss
of topology database information.

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.
