This memo correctly describes the incremental update procedure for use
with the standard Internet checksum.  It is intended to replace the
description of Incremental Update in RFC 1071.  This is not a standard
but rather, an implementation technique.

Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

RFCs can be obtained via FTP from NIC.DDN.MIL, with the pathname

FTP.  Address the request to SERVICE@NIC.DDN.MIL and in the subject
field of the message indicate the RFC number, as in "Subject:
RFC nnnn".

Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either the
author of the RFC in question, or to NIC@NIC.DDN.MIL.  Unless
specifically noted otherwise on the RFC itself, all RFCs are for
unlimited distribution.

Submissions for Requests for Comments should be sent to POSTEL@ISI.EDU.
