level setting

[Scott Bradner <sob@harvard.edu>]

a word from one of the Area Directors to remind the working group of
some basic rules

IETF protocols must be able to operate in the Internet

that means they can not assume they will always operate in some private
network behind a firewall and with guaranteed overprovisioning   

that means that they must to deal with congestion in a TCP-friendly way

that means that they must have good security
