Abstract:
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'. [MAN]. It discusses the pros and cons of offering these services, as well as areas in which mid-level networks can work together.
