- This document proposes a set of technical services that each Internet
- mid-level network can offer within the mid-level network itself and
- and to its peer networks. The term "mid-level" is used as a generic
- term to represent all regional and similar networks, which, due to
- continuous evolutions and transitions, can no longer be termed
- "regional". It discusses the pros and cons of offering these
- services, as well as areas in which mid-level networks can work
- together.
-
- A large portion of the ideas stem from discussions at the IETF
- Operational Statistics (OPstat), User Connectivity Problems (UCP) and
- Network Joint Management (NJM) working groups.
