> Title : IP over MIME
> Author(s) : D. Eastlake 3rd
> Filename : draft-eastlake-ip-mime-06.txt
> Pages : 8
> Date : 29-Jan-02
>
> The MIME encoding of IP packets is standardized so they can
> conveniently be sent via MAIL, HTTP, etc. This may be convenient for
> transmitting packets for analysis or for creating application level
> tunnels.

> From the draft itself:

> --------------------------------------
> An unambiguous MIME encoding for IP datagrams is useful in their
> transmission for monitoring, analysis, debugging, or illustrative
> purposes.
>
> In addition, IP over MIME can be effective as one component in
> creating application level tunnels including those that bypass
> firewall protections [RFC 3093]. With the aid of cooperative
> software running within a firewall, unrestricted, if slow, IP
> connectivity can be established.
