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

	Title		: DIAMETER Base Protocol
	Author(s)	: A. Rubens, P. Calhoun
	Filename	: draft-calhoun-diameter-01.txt
	Pages		: 23

   This original document was named Enhanced RADIUS and  was  changed  at
   the  request  of  the  WG  since  this  protocol is different from the
   former.
 
   This document describes a management  protocol  used  between  Network
   Access Servers and DIAMETER Servers for authentication, authorization,
   and accounting of dial-up users. A considerable amount of  effort  was
   put  into the design of this protocol to ensure that an implementation
   could support both DIAMETER and RADIUS at the same time.

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.
