This is an Internet-Draft, which describes a method for broadcasting
multicast IP data using the vertical blanking interval of a television
signal. It includes a description for compressing multicast IP headers
on unidirectional networks, a framing protocol identical to SLIP, and a
forward error correction scheme for the NABTS standard.

NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
