RFC 946 Telnet terminal location number option
 
Authors:R. Nedved.
Date:May 1985
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 0946
Many systems provide a mechanism for finding out where a user is logged in from usually including information about telephone extension and office occupants names. The information is useful for physically locating people and/or calling them on the phone. In 1982 CMU designed and implemented a terminal location database and modified existing network software to handle a 64-bit number called the Terminal Location Number (or TTYLOC). It now seems appropriate to incorporate this mechanism into the TCP-based network protocol family. The mechanism is not viewed as a replacement for the Terminal Location Telnet Option (SEND-LOCATION) but as a shorthand mechansim for communicating terminal location information between hosts in a localized community. This RFC proposes a new option for Telnet for the ARPA-Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.

RFC 1134 Point-to-Point Protocol: A proposal for multi-protocol transmission of datagrams over Point-to-Point links
 
Authors:D. Perkins.
Date:November 1989
Formats:txt json html
Obsoleted by:RFC 1171
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1134
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a method for transmitting datagrams over serial point-to-point links. PPP is composed of three parts:

1. A method for encapsulating datagrams over serial links.

2. An extensible Link Control Protocol (LCP).

3. A family of Network Control Protocols (NCP) for establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols.

This document defines the encapsulation scheme, the basic LCP, and anNCP for establishing and configuring the Internet Protocol (IP)(called the IP Control Protocol, IPCP).

The options and facilities used by the LCP and the IPCP are defined in separate documents. Control protocols for configuring and utilizing other network-layer protocols besides IP (e.g., DECNET,OSI) are expected to be developed as needed.

RFC 1195 Use of OSI IS-IS for routing in TCP/IP and dual environments
 
Authors:R. Callon.
Date:December 1990
Formats:txt html ps json pdf
Updated by:RFC 1349, RFC 5302, RFC 5304
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1195
This RFC specifies an integrated routing protocol, based on the OSIIntra-Domain IS-IS Routing Protocol, which may be used as an interior gateway protocol (IGP) to support TCP/IP as well as OSI. This allows a single routing protocol to be used to support pure IP environments, pure OSI environments, and dual environments. This specification was developed by the IS-IS working group of the Internet Engineering TaskForce.

The OSI IS-IS protocol has reached a mature state, and is ready for implementation and operational use. The most recent version of theOSI IS-IS protocol is contained in ISO DP 10589 [1]. The proposed standard for using IS-IS for support of TCP/IP will therefore make use of this version (with a minor bug correction, as discussed inAnnex B). We expect that future versions of this proposed standard will upgrade to the final International Standard version of IS-IS when available.

RFC 1277 Encoding Network Addresses to Support Operation over Non-OSI Lower Layers
 
Authors:S.E. Hardcastle-Kille.
Date:November 1991
Formats:txt ps html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1277
The OSI Directory specifies an encoding of Presentation Address, which utilises OSI Network Addresses as defined in the OSINetwork Layer standards [CCI88] [ISO87a]. The OSI Directory, and any OSI application utilising the OSI Directory must be able use these Network Addresses to identify end systems. Currently, OSI applications are often run over lower layers other than the OSINetwork Service. It is neither reasonable nor desirable for groups wishing to investigate and use OSI Applications in conjunction with the OSI Directory to be dependent on a globalOSI Network Service. This document defines a new network address format, and rules for using some existing network address formats. The scope of this document is:

This document specifies a mapping between two protocols. This specification should be used when this mapping is performed on theDARPA Internet or in the UK Academic Community. This specification may be modified in the light of implementation experience, but no substantial changes are expected.

 
RFC 1331 The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) for the Transmission of Multi-protocol Datagrams over Point-to-Point Links

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1331
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a method for transmitting datagrams over serial point-to-point links. PPP is comprised of three main components:

1. A method for encapsulating datagrams over serial links.

2. A Link Control Protocol (LCP) for establishing, configuring, and testing the data-link connection.

3. A family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols.

This document defines the PPP encapsulation scheme, together with thePPP Link Control Protocol (LCP), an extensible option negotiation protocol which is able to negotiate a rich assortment of configuration parameters and provides additional management functions.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) [1] provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network. Configuration parameters and other control information are carried in tagged data items that are stored in the "options" field of the DHCP message. The data items themselves are also called"options."

This document specifies the current set of DHCP options. This document will be periodically updated as new options are defined.Each superseding document will include the entire current list of valid options.

All of the vendor information extensions defined in RFC 1497 [2] may be used as DHCP options. The definitions given in RFC 1497 are included in this document, which supersedes RFC 1497. All of theDHCP options defined in this document, except for those specific toDHCP as defined in section 9, may be used as BOOTP vendor information extensions.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network.DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) [7], adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration options [19]. DHCP captures the behavior ofBOOTP relay agents [7, 23], and DHCP participants can interoperate with BOOTP participants [9]. Due to some errors introduced into RFC1531 in the editorial process, this memo is reissued as RFC 1541.

RFC 1577 Classical IP and ARP over ATM
 
Authors:M. Laubach.
Date:January 1994
Formats:txt json html
Obsoleted by:RFC 2225
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1577
This memo defines an initial application of classical IP and ARP in an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network environment configured as a Logical IP Subnetwork (LIS) as described in Section 3. This memo does not preclude the subsequent development of ATM technology into areas other than a LIS; specifically, as single ATM networks grow to replace many ethernet local LAN segments and as these networks become globally connected, the application of IP and ARP will be treated differently. This memo considers only the application of ATM as a direct replacement for the "wires" and local LAN segments connectingIP end-stations ("members") and routers operating in the "classical"LAN-based paradigm. Issues raised by MAC level bridging and LAN emulation are beyond the scope of this paper.

This memo introduces general ATM technology and nomenclature.Readers are encouraged to review the ATM Forum and ITU-TS (formerlyCCITT) references for more detailed information about ATM implementation agreements and standards.

 
RFC 1582 Extensions to RIP to Support Demand Circuits
 
Authors:G. Meyer.
Date:February 1994
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1582
Running routing protocols on connection oriented Public DataNetworks, for example X.25 packet switched networks or ISDN, can be expensive if the standard form of periodic broadcasting of routing information is adhered to. The high cost arises because a connection has to all practical intents and purposes be kept open to every destination to which routing information is to be sent, whether or not it is being used to carry user data.

Routing information may also fail to be propagated if the number of destinations to which the routing information is to be sent exceeds the number of channels available to the router on the Wide AreaNetwork (WAN).

This memo defines a generalized modification which can be applied toBellman-Ford (or distance vector) algorithm information broadcasting protocols, for example IP RIP, Netware RIP or Netware SAP, which overcomes the limitations of the traditional methods described above.

The routing protocols support a purely triggered update mechanism on demand circuits on WANs. The protocols run UNMODIFIED on LANs or fixed point-to-point links.

Routing information is sent on the WAN when the routing database is modified by new routing information received from another interface.When this happens a (triggered) update is sent to a list of destinations on other WAN interfaces. Because routing protocols are datagram based they are not guaranteed to be received by the peer router on the WAN. An acknowledgement and retransmission mechanism is provided to ensure that routing updates are received.

The WAN circuit manager advises the routing applications on the reachability and non-reachability of destinations on the WAN.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1730
The Internet Message Access Protocol, Version 4 (IMAP4) allows a client to access and manipulate electronic mail messages on a server.IMAP4 permits manipulation of remote message folders, called"mailboxes", in a way that is functionally equivalent to local mailboxes. IMAP4 also provides the capability for an offline client to resynchronize with the server (see also [IMAP-DISC]).

IMAP4 includes operations for creating, deleting, and renaming mailboxes; checking for new messages; permanently removing messages; setting and clearing flags; RFC 822 and MIME parsing; searching; and selective fetching of message attributes, texts, and portions thereof. Messages in IMAP4 are accessed by the use of numbers.These numbers are either message sequence numbers (relative position from 1 to the number of messages in the mailbox) or unique identifiers (immutable, strictly ascending values assigned to each message, but which are not necessarily contiguous).

IMAP4 supports a single server. A mechanism for supporting multipleIMAP4 servers is discussed in [IMSP].

IMAP4 does not specify a means of posting mail; this function is handled by a mail transfer protocol such as [SMTP].

IMAP4 is designed to be upwards compatible from the [IMAP2] protocol.Compatibility issues are discussed in [IMAP-COMPAT].

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1755
This memo describes the ATM call control signaling exchanges needed to support Classical IP over ATM implementations as described in RFC1577 [LAUB94]. ATM endpoints will incorporate ATM signaling services as specified in the ATM Forum User-Network Interface (UNI)Specification Version 3.1 [ATMF94]. IP over ATM implementations utilize the services of local ATM signaling entities to establish and release ATM connections. This memo should be used to define the support required by IP over ATM implementations from their local ATM signaling entities.

This document is an implementors guide intended to foster interoperability among RFC 1577, RFC 1483, and UNI ATM signaling. It applies to IP hosts and routers which are also ATM endsystems and assumes ATM networks that completely implement the ATM Forum UNISpecification Version 3.1. Unless explicitly stated, no distinction is made between the Private and Public UNI.

UNI 3.1 is considered an erratum to the UNI 3.0 specification. It has been produced by the ATM Forum, largely for reasons of alignment withRecommendation Q.2931. Although UNI 3.1 is based on UNI 3.0 there are several changes that make the two versions incompatible. A description of how to support IP over ATM using UNI 3.0 is found inAppendix B.

The Trivial File Transfer Protocol [1] is a simple, lock-step, file transfer protocol which allows a client to get or put a file onto a remote host. One of its primary uses is the booting of diskless nodes on a Local Area Network. TFTP is used because it is very simple to implement in a small node's limited ROM space. However, the choice of a 512-byte blocksize is not the most efficient for use on a LAN whose MTU may 1500 bytes or greater.

This document describes a TFTP option which allows the client and server to negotiate a blocksize more applicable to the network medium. The TFTP Option Extension mechanism is described in [2].

RFC 1793 Extending OSPF to Support Demand Circuits
 
Authors:J. Moy.
Date:April 1995
Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 3883
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1793
This memo defines enhancements to the OSPF protocol that allow efficient operation over "demand circuits". Demand circuits are network segments whose costs vary with usage; charges can be based both on connect time and on bytes/packets transmitted. Examples of demand circuits include ISDN circuits, X.25 SVCs, and dial-up lines.The periodic nature of OSPF routing traffic has until now required a demand circuit's underlying data-link connection to be constantly open, resulting in unwanted usage charges. With the modifications described herein, OSPF Hellos and the refresh of OSPF routing information are suppressed on demand circuits, allowing the underlying data-link connections to be closed when not carrying application traffic.

Demand circuits and regular network segments (e.g., leased lines) are allowed to be combined in any manner. In other words, there are no topological restrictions on the demand circuit support. However, while any OSPF network segment can be defined as a demand circuit, only point-to-point networks receive the full benefit. When broadcast and NBMA networks are declared demand circuits, routing update traffic is reduced but the periodic sending of Hellos is not, which in effect still requires that the data-link connections remain constantly open.

While mainly intended for use with cost-conscious network links such as ISDN, X.25 and dial-up, the modifications in this memo may also prove useful over bandwidth-limited network links such as slow-speed leased lines and packet radio.

The enhancements defined in this memo are backward-compatible with the OSPF specification defined in [1], and with the OSPF extensions defined in [3] (OSPF NSSA areas), [4] (MOSPF) and [8] (OSPF Point- to-MultiPoint Interface).

This memo provides functionality similar to that specified for RIP in[2], with the main difference being the way the two proposals handle oversubscription (see Sections 4.3 and 7 below). However, becauseOSPF employs link-state routing technology as opposed to RIP'sDistance Vector base, the mechanisms used to achieve the demand circuit functionality are quite different.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 1808
A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a compact representation of the location and access method for a resource available via the Internet.When embedded within a base document, a URL in its absolute form may contain a great deal of information which is already known from the context of that base document's retrieval, including the scheme, network location, and parts of the url-path. In situations where the base URL is well-defined and known to the parser (human or machine), it is useful to be able to embed URL references which inherit that context rather than re-specifying it in every instance. This document defines the syntax and semantics for such Relative UniformResource Locators.

This document defines a framework within which security services may be applied to MIME body parts. MIME, an acronym for "MultipurposeInternet Mail Extensions", defines the format of the contents ofInternet mail messages and provides for multi-part textual and non- textual message bodies. The new content types are subtypes of multipart: signed and encrypted. Each will contain two body parts: one for the protected data and one for the control information necessary to remove the protection. The type and contents of the control information body parts are determined by the value of the protocol parameter of the enclosing multipart/signed or multipart/encrypted content type, which is required to be present.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1889
This memorandum describes RTP, the real-time transport protocol. RTP provides end-to-end network transport functions suitable for applications transmitting real-time data, such as audio, video or simulation data, over multicast or unicast network services. RTP does not address resource reservation and does not guarantee quality-of- service for real-time services. The data transport is augmented by a control protocol (RTCP) to allow monitoring of the data delivery in a manner scalable to large multicast networks, and to provide minimal control and identification functionality. RTP and RTCP are designed to be independent of the underlying transport and network layers. The protocol supports the use of RTP-level translators and mixers.

This memo describes a profile for the use of the real-time transport protocol (RTP), version 2, and the associated control protocol, RTCP, within audio and video multiparticipant conferences with minimal control. It provides interpretations of generic fields within the RTP specification suitable for audio and video conferences. In particular, this document defines a set of default mappings from payload type numbers to encodings.

The document also describes how audio and video data may be carried within RTP. It defines a set of standard encodings and their names when used within RTP. However, the encoding definitions are independent of the particular transport mechanism used. The descriptions provide pointers to reference implementations and the detailed standards. This document is meant as an aid for implementors of audio, video and other real-time multimedia applications.

RFC 1894 An Extensible Message Format for Delivery Status Notifications
 
Authors:K. Moore, G. Vaudreuil.

Formats:txt html json
Obsoleted by:RFC 3464
Updated by:RFC 2852
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1894
This memo defines a MIME content-type that may be used by a message transfer agent (MTA) or electronic mail gateway to report the result of an attempt to deliver a message to one or more recipients. This content-type is intended as a machine-processable replacement for the various types of delivery status notifications currently used inInternet electronic mail.

Because many messages are sent between the Internet and other messaging systems (such as X.400 or the so-called "LAN-based" systems), the DSN protocol is designed to be useful in a multi- protocol messaging environment. To this end, the protocol described in this memo provides for the carriage of "foreign" addresses and error codes, in addition to those normally used in Internet mail.Additional attributes may also be defined to support "tunneling" of foreign notifications through Internet mail.

Any questions, comments, and reports of defects or ambiguities in this specification may be sent to the mailing list for the NOTARY working group of the IETF, using the address<notifications@cs.utk.edu&rt;. Requests to subscribe to the mailing list should be addressed to <notifications-request@cs.utk.edu&rt;.Implementors of this specification are encouraged to subscribe to the mailing list, so that they will quickly be informed of any problems which might hinder interoperability.

NOTE: This document is a Proposed Standard. If and when this protocol is submitted for Draft Standard status, any normative text(phrases containing SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, MUST, MUST NOT, or MAY) in this document will be re-evaluated in light of implementation experience, and are thus subject to change.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2001
Modern implementations of TCP contain four intertwined algorithms that have never been fully documented as Internet standards: slow start, congestion avoidance, fast retransmit, and fast recovery. [2] and [3] provide some details on these algorithms, [4] provides examples of the algorithms in action, and [5] provides the source code for the 4.4BSD implementation. RFC 1122 requires that a TCP must implement slow start and congestion avoidance (Section 4.2.2.15 of [1]), citing [2] as the reference, but fast retransmit and fast recovery were implemented after RFC 1122. The purpose of this document is to document these four algorithms for the Internet.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 2002
This document specifies protocol enhancements that allow transparent routing of IP datagrams to mobile nodes in the Internet. Each mobile node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While situated away from its home, a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which provides information about its current point of attachment to the Internet. The protocol provides for registering the care-of address with a home agent. The home agent sends datagrams destined for the mobile node through a tunnel to the care- of address. After arriving at the end of the tunnel, each datagram is then delivered to the mobile node.

RFC 2018 TCP Selective Acknowledgment Options
 
Authors:M. Mathis, J. Mahdavi, S. Floyd, A. Romanow.

Obsoletes:RFC 1072
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2018
TCP may experience poor performance when multiple packets are lost from one window of data. With the limited information available from cumulative acknowledgments, a TCP sender can only learn about a single lost packet per round trip time. An aggressive sender could choose to retransmit packets early, but such retransmitted segments may have already been successfully received.

A Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) mechanism, combined with a selective repeat retransmission policy, can help to overcome these limitations. The receiving TCP sends back SACK packets to the sender informing the sender of data that has been received. The sender can then retransmit only the missing data segments.

This memo proposes an implementation of SACK and discusses its performance and related issues.

RFC 2022 Support for Multicast over UNI 3.0/3.1 based ATM Networks
 
Authors:G. Armitage.
Date:November 1996
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2022
Mapping the connectionless IP multicast service over the connection oriented ATM services provided by UNI 3.0/3.1 is a non-trivial task.This memo describes a mechanism to support the multicast needs ofLayer 3 protocols in general, and describes its application to IP multicasting in particular.

ATM based IP hosts and routers use a Multicast Address ResolutionServer (MARS) to support RFC 1112 style Level 2 IP multicast over theATM Forum's UNI 3.0/3.1 point to multipoint connection service.Clusters of endpoints share a MARS and use it to track and disseminate information identifying the nodes listed as receivers for given multicast groups. This allows endpoints to establish and manage point to multipoint VCs when transmitting to the group.

The MARS behaviour allows Layer 3 multicasting to be supported using either meshes of VCs or ATM level multicast servers. This choice may be made on a per-group basis, and is transparent to the endpoints.

RFC 2060 Internet Message Access Protocol - Version 4rev1

Obsoletes:RFC 1730
Obsoleted by:RFC 3501
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2060
The Internet Message Access Protocol, Version 4rev1 (IMAP4rev1) allows a client to access and manipulate electronic mail messages on a server. IMAP4rev1 permits manipulation of remote message folders, called "mailboxes", in a way that is functionally equivalent to local mailboxes. IMAP4rev1 also provides the capability for an offline client to resynchronize with the server (see also [IMAP-DISC]).

IMAP4rev1 includes operations for creating, deleting, and renaming mailboxes; checking for new messages; permanently removing messages; setting and clearing flags; [RFC-822] and [MIME-IMB] parsing; searching; and selective fetching of message attributes, texts, and portions thereof. Messages in IMAP4rev1 are accessed by the use of numbers. These numbers are either message sequence numbers or unique identifiers.

IMAP4rev1 supports a single server. A mechanism for accessing configuration information to support multiple IMAP4rev1 servers is discussed in [ACAP].

IMAP4rev1 does not specify a means of posting mail; this function is handled by a mail transfer protocol such as [SMTP].

IMAP4rev1 is designed to be upwards compatible from the [IMAP2] and unpublished IMAP2bis protocols. In the course of the evolution ofIMAP4rev1, some aspects in the earlier protocol have become obsolete.Obsolete commands, responses, and data formats which an IMAP4rev1 implementation may encounter when used with an earlier implementation are described in [IMAP-OBSOLETE].

Other compatibility issues with IMAP2bis, the most common variant of the earlier protocol, are discussed in [IMAP-COMPAT]. A full discussion of compatibility issues with rare (and presumed extinct) variants of [IMAP2] is in [IMAP-HISTORICAL]; this document is primarily of historical interest.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2065
The Domain Name System (DNS) has become a critical operational part of the Internet infrastructure yet it has no strong security mechanisms to assure data integrity or authentication. Extensions to the DNS are described that provide these services to security aware resolvers or applications through the use of cryptographic digital signatures. These digital signatures are included in secured zones as resource records. Security can still be provided even through non-security aware DNS servers in many cases.

The extensions also provide for the storage of authenticated public keys in the DNS. This storage of keys can support general public key distribution service as well as DNS security. The stored keys enable security aware resolvers to learn the authenticating key of zones in addition to those for which they are initially configured. Keys associated with DNS names can be retrieved to support other protocols. Provision is made for a variety of key types and algorithms.

In addition, the security extensions provide for the optional authentication of DNS protocol transactions.

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, object-oriented protocol which can be used for many tasks, such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods.A feature of HTTP is the typing and negotiation of data representation, allowing systems to be built independently of the data being transferred.

HTTP has been in use by the World-Wide Web global information initiative since 1990. This specification defines the protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.1".

 
RFC 2069 An Extension to HTTP : Digest Access Authentication

Obsoleted by:RFC 2617
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2069
The protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.0" includes the specification for a Basic Access Authentication scheme. This scheme is not considered to be a secure method of user authentication, as the user name and password are passed over the network as clear text. A specification for a different authentication scheme is needed to address this severe limitation. This document provides specification for such a scheme, referred to as "Digest Access Authentication". Like Basic,Digest access authentication verifies that both parties to a communication know a shared secret (a password); unlike Basic, this verification can be done without sending the password in the clear, which is Basic's biggest weakness. As with most other authentication protocols, the greatest sources of risks are usually found not in the core protocol itself but in policies and procedures surrounding its use.

The Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API), as defined in RFC-1508, provides security services to callers in a generic fashion, supportable with a range of underlying mechanisms and technologies and hence allowing source-level portability of applications to different environments. This specification definesGSS-API services and primitives at a level independent of underlying mechanism and programming language environment, and is to be complemented by other, related specifications: documents defining specific parameter bindings for particular language environments documents defining token formats, protocols, and procedures to be implemented in order to realize GSS-API services atop particular security mechanisms

This memo revises RFC-1508, making specific, incremental changes in response to implementation experience and liaison requests. It is intended, therefore, that this memo or a successor version thereto will become the basis for subsequent progression of the GSS-API specification on the standards track.

Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) are being widely used to specify the location of Internet resources. There is an urgent need to be able to include URLs in directories that conform to the LDAP and X.500 information models, and a desire to include other types of UniformResource Identifiers (URIs) as they are defined. A number of independent groups are already experimenting with the inclusion ofURLs in LDAP and X.500 directories. This document builds on the experimentation to date and defines a new attribute type and an auxiliary object class to allow URIs, including URLs, to be stored in directory entries in a standard way.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 2095
While IMAP4 supports a number of strong authentication mechanisms as described in RFC 1731, it lacks any mechanism that neither passes cleartext, reusable passwords across the network nor requires either a significant security infrastructure or that the mail server update a mail-system-wide user authentication file on each mail access.This specification provides a simple challenge-response authentication protocol that is suitable for use with IMAP4. Since it utilizes Keyed-MD5 digests and does not require that the secret be stored in the clear on the server, it may also constitute an improvement on APOP for POP3 use as specified in RFC 1734.

Although HTML [RFC 1866] was designed within the context of MIME, more than the specification of HTML as defined in RFC 1866 is needed for two electronic mail user agents to be able to interoperate usingHTML as a document format. These issues include the naming of objects that are normally referred to by URIs, and the means of aggregating objects that go together. This document describes a set of guidelines that will allow conforming mail user agents to be able to send, deliver and display these objects, such as HTML objects, that can contain links represented by URIs. In order to be able to handle inter-linked objects, the document uses the MIME type multipart/related and specifies the MIME content-headers "Content-Location" and "Content-Base".

This document proposes a method to manage the dynamic bandwidth allocation of implementations supporting the PPP multilink protocol[2]. This is done by defining the Bandwidth Allocation Protocol(BAP), as well as its associated control protocol, the BandwidthAllocation Control Protocol (BACP). BAP can be used to manage the number of links in a multilink bundle. BAP defines datagrams to co- ordinate adding and removing individual links in a multilink bundle, as well as specifying which peer is responsible for which decisions regarding managing bandwidth during a multilink connection.
 
RFC 2126 ISO Transport Service on top of TCP (ITOT)
 
Authors:Y. Pouffary, A. Young.
Date:March 1997
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 1006
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2126
This document is a revision to STD35, RFC1006 written by Marshall T.Rose and Dwight E. Cass. Since the release of RFC1006 in May 1987, much experience has been gained in using ISO transport services on top of TCP. This document refines the protocol and will eventually supersede RFC1006.

This document describes the mechanism to allow ISO Transport Services to run over TCP over IPv4 or IPv6. It also defines a number of new features, which are not provided in RFC1006.

The goal of this version is to minimise the number of changes toRFC1006 and ISO 8073 transport protocol definitions, while maximising performance, extending its applicability and protecting the installed base of RFC1006 users.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2136
The Domain Name System was originally designed to support queries of a statically configured database. While the data was expected to change, the frequency of those changes was expected to be fairly low, and all updates were made as external edits to a zone's Master File.

Using this specification of the UPDATE opcode, it is possible to add or delete RRs or RRsets from a specified zone. Prerequisites are specified separately from update operations, and can specify a dependency upon either the previous existence or nonexistence of anRRset, or the existence of a single RR.

UPDATE is atomic, i.e., all prerequisites must be satisfied or else no update operations will take place. There are no data dependent error conditions defined after the prerequisites have been met.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2147
IPv6 supports datagrams larger than 65535 bytes long, often referred to as jumbograms, through use of the Jumbo Payload hop-by-hop option. The UDP protocol has a 16-bit length field that keeps it from being able to make use of jumbograms, and though TCP does not have a length field, both the MSS option and the Urgent field are constrained by 16-bits. This document describes some simple changes that can be made to allow TCP and UDP to make use of IPv6 jumbograms. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

Obsoletes:RFC 1664
Updated by:RFC 3597
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2163
This memo is the complete technical specification to store in theInternet Domain Name System (DNS) the mapping information (MCGAM) needed by MIXER conformant e-mail gateways and other tools to mapRFC822 domain names into X.400 O/R names and vice versa. Mapping information can be managed in a distributed rather than a centralised way. Organizations can publish their MIXER mapping or preferred gateway routing information using just local resources (their localDNS server), avoiding the need for a strong coordination with any centralised organization. MIXER conformant gateways and tools located on Internet hosts can retrieve the mapping information querying theDNS instead of having fixed tables which need to be centrally updated and distributed.

This memo obsoletes RFC1664. It includes the changes introduced byMIXER specification with respect to RFC1327: the new 'gate1' (O/R addresses to domain) table is fully supported. Full backward compatibility with RFC1664 specification is mantained, too.

RFC1664 was a joint effort of IETF X400 operation working group(x400ops) and TERENA (formely named "RARE") Mail and Messaging working group (WG-MSG). This update was performed by the IETF MIXER working group.

This memo provides a mechanism whereby messages conforming to theMIME specifications [RFC 2045, RFC 2046, RFC 2047, RFC 2048, RFC2049] can convey presentational information. It specifies the"Content-Disposition" header field, which is optional and valid for any MIME entity ("message" or "body part"). Two values for this header field are described in this memo; one for the ordinary linear presentation of the body part, and another to facilitate the use of mail to transfer files. It is expected that more values will be defined in the future, and procedures are defined for extending this set of values.

This document is intended as an extension to MIME. As such, the reader is assumed to be familiar with the MIME specifications, and[RFC 822]. The information presented herein supplements but does not replace that found in those documents.

This document is a revision to the Experimental protocol defined inRFC 1806. As compared to RFC 1806, this document contains minor editorial updates, adds new parameters needed to support the FileTransfer Body Part, and references a separate specification for the handling of non-ASCII and/or very long parameter values.

While IMAP4 supports a number of strong authentication mechanisms as described in RFC 1731, it lacks any mechanism that neither passes cleartext, reusable passwords across the network nor requires either a significant security infrastructure or that the mail server update a mail-system-wide user authentication file on each mail access.This specification provides a simple challenge-response authentication protocol that is suitable for use with IMAP4. Since it utilizes Keyed-MD5 digests and does not require that the secret be stored in the clear on the server, it may also constitute an improvement on APOP for POP3 use as specified in RFC 1734.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2244
The Application Configuration Access Protocol (ACAP) is designed to support remote storage and access of program option, configuration and preference information. The data store model is designed to allow a client relatively simple access to interesting data, to allow new information to be easily added without server re-configuration, and to promote the use of both standardized data and custom or proprietary data. Key features include "inheritance" which can be used to manage default values for configuration settings and access control lists which allow interesting personal information to be shared and group information to be restricted.

It is common practice on the Internet to permit anonymous access to various services. Traditionally, this has been done with a plain text password mechanism using "anonymous" as the user name and optional trace information, such as an email address, as the password. As plaintext login commands are not permitted in new IETF protocols, a new way to provide anonymous login is needed within the context of the SASL [SASL] framework.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2290
Mobile IP [RFC 2002] defines media-independent procedures by which aMobile Node can maintain existing transport and application-layer connections despite changing its point-of-attachment to the Internet and without changing its IP address. PPP [RFC 1661] provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol packets over point- to-point links. As currently specified, Mobile IP Foreign Agents which support Mobile Node connections via PPP can do so only by first assigning unique addresses to those Mobile Nodes, defeating one of the primary advantages of Foreign Agents. This documents corrects this problem by defining the Mobile-IPv4 Configuration Option to theInternet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP) [RFC 1332]. Using this option, two peers can communicate their support for Mobile IP during the IPCP phase of PPP. Familiarity with Mobile IP [RFC 2002], IPCP[RFC 1332], and PPP [RFC 1661] is assumed.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 2298
This memo defines a MIME content-type that may be used by a mail user agent (UA) or electronic mail gateway to report the disposition of a message after it has been sucessfully delivered to a recipient. This content-type is intended to be machine-processable. Additional message headers are also defined to permit Message DispositionNotifications (MDNs) to be requested by the sender of a message. The purpose is to extend Internet Mail to support functionality often found in other messaging systems, such as X.400 and the proprietary"LAN-based" systems, and often referred to as "read receipts,""acknowledgements," or "receipt notifications." The intention is to do this while respecting the privacy concerns that have often been expressed when such functions have been discussed in the past.

Because many messages are sent between the Internet and other messaging systems (such as X.400 or the proprietary "LAN-based" systems), the MDN protocol is designed to be useful in a multi- protocol messaging environment. To this end, the protocol described in this memo provides for the carriage of "foreign" addresses, in addition to those normally used in Internet Mail. Additional attributes may also be defined to support "tunneling" of foreign notifications through Internet Mail.

Updated by:RFC 4035, RFC 4033, RFC 4034, RFC 6604, RFC 8020, RFC 8499, RFC 9499, RFC 9520
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2308
[RFC1034] provided a description of how to cache negative responses.It however had a fundamental flaw in that it did not allow a name server to hand out those cached responses to other resolvers, thereby greatly reducing the effect of the caching. This document addresses issues raise in the light of experience and replaces [RFC1034 Section4.3.4].

Negative caching was an optional part of the DNS specification and deals with the caching of the non-existence of an RRset [RFC2181] or domain name.

Negative caching is useful as it reduces the response time for negative answers. It also reduces the number of messages that have to be sent between resolvers and name servers hence overall network traffic. A large proportion of DNS traffic on the Internet could be eliminated if all resolvers implemented negative caching. With this in mind negative caching should no longer be seen as an optional part of a DNS resolver.

 
RFC 2320 Definitions of Managed Objects for Classical IP and ARP Over ATM Using SMIv2 (IPOA-MIB)
 
Authors:M. Greene, J. Luciani, K. White, T. Kuo.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2320
The purpose of this memo is to define the Management Information Base(MIB) for supporting Classical IP and ARP over ATM as specified inClassical IP and ARP over ATM, refer to reference [3]. Support of anATM interface by an IP layer will require implementation of objects from several Management Information Bases (MIBs) as well as their enhancement in order to enable usage of ATM transports. It is the intent of this MIB to fully adhere to all prerequisite MIBs unless explicitly stated. Deviations will be documented in corresponding conformance statements. The specification of this MIB will utilize the Structure of Management Information (SMI) for Version 2 of theSimple Network Management Protocol Version (refer to RFC 1902, reference [1]).

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2326
The Real Time Streaming Protocol, or RTSP, is an application-level protocol for control over the delivery of data with real-time properties. RTSP provides an extensible framework to enable controlled, on-demand delivery of real-time data, such as audio and video. Sources of data can include both live data feeds and stored clips. This protocol is intended to control multiple data delivery sessions, provide a means for choosing delivery channels such as UDP, multicast UDP and TCP, and provide a means for choosing delivery mechanisms based upon RTP (RFC 1889).

RFC 2331 ATM Signalling Support for IP over ATM - UNI Signalling 4.0 Update
 
Authors:M. Maher.
Date:April 1998
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2331
This memo describes how to efficiently use the ATM call control signalling procedures defined in UNI Signalling 4.0 [SIG40] to support IP over ATM environments as described in RFC 2225 [LAUB98] and in RFC 2332 [LUC98]. Among the new features found in UNISignalling 4.0 are Available Bit Rate signalling and traffic parameter negotiation. This memo highlights the features of UNISignalling 4.0 that provide IP entities capabilities for requestingATM service in sites with SVC support, whether it is private ATM or publicly provisioned ATM, in which case the SVC support is probably configured inside PVPs.

This document is only relevant to IP when used as the well known"best effort" connectionless service. In particular, this means that this document does not pertain to IP in the presence of implementedIP Integrated Services. The topic of IP with Integrated Services over ATM will be handled by a different specification or set of specifications being worked on in the ISSLL WG.

This specification is a follow-on to RFC 1755, "ATM Signaling Support for IP over ATM", which is based on UNI 3.1 signalling [UNI95].Readers are assumed to be familiar with RFC 1755.

 
RFC 2332 NBMA Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP)
 
Authors:J. Luciani, D. Katz, D. Piscitello, B. Cole, N. Doraswamy.
Date:April 1998
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2332
This document describes the NBMA Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP).NHRP can be used by a source station (host or router) connected to aNon-Broadcast, Multi-Access (NBMA) subnetwork to determine the internetworking layer address and NBMA subnetwork addresses of the"NBMA next hop" towards a destination station. If the destination is connected to the NBMA subnetwork, then the NBMA next hop is the destination station itself. Otherwise, the NBMA next hop is the egress router from the NBMA subnetwork that is "nearest" to the destination station. NHRP is intended for use in a multiprotocol internetworking layer environment over NBMA subnetworks.

Note that while this protocol was developed for use with NBMA subnetworks, it is possible, if not likely, that it will be applied to BMA subnetworks as well. However, this usage of NHRP is for further study.

This document is intended to be a functional superset of the NBMAAddress Resolution Protocol (NARP) documented in [1].

Operation of NHRP as a means of establishing a transit path across anNBMA subnetwork between two routers will be addressed in a separate document (see [13]).

 
RFC 2333 NHRP Protocol Applicability Statement

Date:April 1998
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2334
This document describes the Server Cache Synchronization Protocol(SCSP) and is written in terms of SCSP's use within Non BroadcastMultiple Access (NBMA) networks; although, a somewhat straight forward usage is applicable to BMA networks. SCSP attempts to solve the generalized cache synchronization/cache-replication problem for distributed protocol entities. However, in this document, SCSP is couched in terms of the client/server paradigm in which distributed server entities, which are bound to a Server Group (SG) through some means, wish to synchronize the contents (or a portion thereof) of their caches which contain information about the state of clients being served.

RFC 2338 Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
 
Authors:S. Knight, D. Weaver, D. Whipple, R. Hinden, D. Mitzel, P. Hunt, P. Higginson, M. Shand, A. Lindem.
Date:April 1998
Formats:txt html json
Obsoleted by:RFC 3768
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2338
This memo defines the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP).VRRP specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for a virtual router to one of the VRRP routers on aLAN. The VRRP router controlling the IP address(es) associated with a virtual router is called the Master, and forwards packets sent to these IP addresses. The election process provides dynamic fail over in the forwarding responsibility should the Master become unavailable. This allows any of the virtual router IP addresses on the LAN to be used as the default first hop router by end-hosts. The advantage gained from using VRRP is a higher availability default path without requiring configuration of dynamic routing or router discovery protocols on every end-host.

RFC 2344 Reverse Tunneling for Mobile IP
 
Authors:G. Montenegro, Ed..
Date:May 1998
Formats:txt json html
Obsoleted by:RFC 3024
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2344
Mobile IP uses tunneling from the home agent to the mobile node's care-of address, but rarely in the reverse direction. Usually, a mobile node sends its packets through a router on the foreign network, and assumes that routing is independent of source address.When this assumption is not true, it is convenient to establish a topologically correct reverse tunnel from the care-of address to the home agent.

This document proposes backwards-compatible extensions to Mobile IP in order to support topologically correct reverse tunnels. This document does not attempt to solve the problems posed by firewalls located between the home agent and the mobile node's care-of address.

RFC 2369 The Use of URLs as Meta-Syntax for Core Mail List Commands and their Transport through Message Header Fields
 
Authors:G. Neufeld, J. Baer.
Date:July 1998
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2369
The mailing list command specification header fields are a set of structured fields to be added to email messages sent by email distribution lists. Each field typically contains a URL (usually mailto [RFC2368]) locating the relevant information or performing the command directly. The three core header fields described in this document are List-Help, List-Subscribe, and List-Unsubscribe.

There are three other header fields described here which, although not as widely applicable, will have utility for a sufficient number of mailing lists to justify their formalization here. These areList-Post, List-Owner and List-Archive.

By including these header fields, list servers can make it possible for mail clients to provide automated tools for users to perform list functions. This could take the form of a menu item, push button, or other user interface element. The intent is to simplify the user experience, providing a common interface to the often cryptic and varied mailing list manager commands.

This memo defines the profile of the MIME Content-Type [MIME-DIR] for directory information for a white-pages person object, based on a vCard electronic business card. The profile definition is independent of any particular directory service or protocol. The profile is defined for representing and exchanging a variety of information about an individual (e.g., formatted and structured name and delivery addresses, email address, multiple telephone numbers, photograph, logo, audio clips, etc.). The directory information used by this profile is based on the attributes for the person object defined in the X.520 and X.521 directory services recommendations. The profile also provides the method for including a [VCARD] representation of a white-pages directory entry within the MIME Content-Type defined by the [MIME-DIR] document.

RFC 2439 BGP Route Flap Damping
 
Authors:C. Villamizar, R. Chandra, R. Govindan.
Date:November 1998
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2439
A usage of the BGP routing protocol is described which is capable of reducing the routing traffic passed on to routing peers and therefore the load on these peers without adversely affecting route convergence time for relatively stable routes. This technique has been implemented in commercial products supporting BGP. The technique is also applicable to IDRP.

The overall goals are: o to provide a mechanism capable of reducing router processing load caused by instability o in doing so prevent sustained routing oscillations o to do so without sacrificing route convergence time for generally well behaved routes.

This must be accomplished keeping other goals of BGP in mind: o pack changes into a small number of updates o preserve consistent routing o minimal addition space and computational overhead

An excessive rate of update to the advertised reachability of a subset of Internet prefixes has been widespread in the Internet.This observation was made in the early 1990s by many people involved in Internet operations and remains the case. These excessive updates are not necessarily periodic so route oscillation would be a misleading term. The informal term used to describe this effect is"route flap". The techniques described here are now widely deployed and are commonly referred to as "route flap damping".

RFC 2445 Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification (iCalendar)
 
Authors:F. Dawson, D. Stenerson.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2445
There is a clear need to provide and deploy interoperable calendaring and scheduling services for the Internet. Current group scheduling and Personal Information Management (PIM) products are being extended for use across the Internet, today, in proprietary ways. This memo has been defined to provide the definition of a common format for openly exchanging calendaring and scheduling information across theInternet.

This memo is formatted as a registration for a MIME media type per[RFC 2048]. However, the format in this memo is equally applicable for use outside of a MIME message content type.

The proposed media type value is 'text/calendar'. This string would label a media type containing calendaring and scheduling information encoded as text characters formatted in a manner outlined below.

This MIME media type provides a standard content type for capturing calendar event, to-do and journal entry information. It also can be used to convey free/busy time information. The content type is suitable as a MIME message entity that can be transferred over MIME based email systems, using HTTP or some other Internet transport. In addition, the content type is useful as an object for interactions between desktop applications using the operating system clipboard, drag/drop or file systems capabilities.

This memo is based on the earlier work of the vCalendar specification for the exchange of personal calendaring and scheduling information.In order to avoid confusion with this referenced work, this memo is to be known as the iCalendar specification.

This memo defines the format for specifying iCalendar object methods.An iCalendar object method is a set of usage constraints for the iCalendar object. For example, these methods might define scheduling messages that request an event be scheduled, reply to an event request, send a cancellation notice for an event, modify or replace the definition of an event, provide a counter proposal for an original event request, delegate an event request to another individual, request free or busy time, reply to a free or busy time request, or provide similar scheduling messages for a to-do or journal entry calendar component. The iCalendar Transport-indendentInteroperability Protocol (iTIP) defined in [ITIP] is one such scheduling protocol.

 
RFC 2446 iCalendar Transport-Independent Interoperability Protocol (iTIP) Scheduling Events, BusyTime, To-dos and Journal Entries

This document specifies how calendaring systems use iCalendar objects to interoperate with other calendar systems. It does so in a general way so as to allow multiple methods of communication between systems.Subsequent documents specify interoperable methods of communications between systems that use this protocol.

The document outlines a model for calendar exchange that defines both static and dynamic event, to-do, journal and free/busy objects.Static objects are used to transmit information from one entity to another without the expectation of continuity or referential integrity with the original item. Dynamic objects are a superset of static objects and will gracefully degrade to their static counterparts for clients that only support static objects.

This document specifies an Internet protocol based on the iCalendar object specification that provides scheduling interoperability between different calendar systems. The Internet protocol is called the "iCalendar Transport-Independent Interoperability Protocol(iTIP)". iTIP complements the iCalendar object specification by adding semantics for group scheduling methods commonly available in current calendar systems. These scheduling methods permit two or more calendar systems to perform transactions such as publish, schedule, reschedule, respond to scheduling requests, negotiation of changes or cancel iCalendar-based calendar components. iTIP is defined independent of the particular transport used to transmit the scheduling information. Companion memos to iTIP provide bindings of the interoperability protocol to a number of Internet protocols.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 2474
Differentiated services enhancements to the Internet protocol are intended to enable scalable service discrimination in the Internet without the need for per-flow state and signaling at every hop. A variety of services may be built from a small, well-defined set of building blocks which are deployed in network nodes. The services may be either end-to-end or intra-domain; they include both those that can satisfy quantitative performance requirements (e.g., peak bandwidth) and those based on relative performance (e.g., "class" differentiation). Services can be constructed by a combination of:

- setting bits in an IP header field at network boundaries(autonomous system boundaries, internal administrative boundaries, or hosts),- using those bits to determine how packets are forwarded by the nodes inside the network, and- conditioning the marked packets at network boundaries in accordance with the requirements or rules of each service.

The requirements or rules of each service must be set through administrative policy mechanisms which are outside the scope of this document. A differentiated services-compliant network node includes a classifier that selects packets based on the value of the DS field, along with buffer management and packet scheduling mechanisms capable of delivering the specific packet forwarding treatment indicated by the DS field value. Setting of the DS field and conditioning of the temporal behavior of marked packets need only be performed at network boundaries and may vary in complexity.

This document defines the IP header field, called the DS (for differentiated services) field. In IPv4, it defines the layout of the TOS octet; in IPv6, the Traffic Class octet. In addition, a base set of packet forwarding treatments, or per-hop behaviors, is defined.

For a more complete understanding of differentiated services, see also the differentiated services architecture [ARCH].

The IPv6 over NBMA architecture allows conventional host-side operation of the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery protocol, while also supporting the establishment of 'shortcut' NBMA forwarding paths when dynamically signaled NBMA links are available. Operations over administratively configured Point to Point NBMA links are also described.

Dynamic NBMA shortcuts are achieved through the use of IPv6 NeighborDiscovery protocol operation within Logical Links, and inter-routerNHRP for the discovery of off-Link NBMA destinations. Both flow- triggered and explicitly source-triggered shortcuts are supported.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2507
This document describes how to compress multiple IP headers and TCP and UDP headers per hop over point to point links. The methods can be applied to of IPv6 base and extension headers, IPv4 headers, TCP andUDP headers, and encapsulated IPv6 and IPv4 headers.

Headers of typical UDP or TCP packets can be compressed down to 4-7 octets including the 2 octet UDP or TCP checksum. This largely removes the negative impact of large IP headers and allows efficient use of bandwidth on low and medium speed links.

The compression algorithms are specifically designed to work well over links with nontrivial packet-loss rates. Several wireless and modem technologies result in such links.

RFC 2529 Transmission of IPv6 over IPv4 Domains without Explicit Tunnels
 
Authors:B. Carpenter, C. Jung.
Date:March 1999
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2529
This memo specifies the frame format for transmission of IPv6 [IPV6] packets and the method of forming IPv6 link-local addresses over IPv4 domains. It also specifies the content of the Source/Target Link- layer Address option used in the Router Solicitation, RouterAdvertisement, Neighbor Solicitation, and Neighbor Advertisement andRedirect messages, when those messages are transmitted on an IPv4 multicast network.

The motivation for this method is to allow isolated IPv6 hosts, located on a physical link which has no directly connected IPv6 router, to become fully functional IPv6 hosts by using an IPv4 domain that supports IPv4 multicast as their virtual local link. It usesIPv4 multicast as a "virtual Ethernet".

Extensions to the Domain Name System (DNS) are described that provide data integrity and authentication to security aware resolvers and applications through the use of cryptographic digital signatures.These digital signatures are included in secured zones as resource records. Security can also be provided through non-security awareDNS servers in some cases.

The extensions provide for the storage of authenticated public keys in the DNS. This storage of keys can support general public key distribution services as well as DNS security. The stored keys enable security aware resolvers to learn the authenticating key of zones in addition to those for which they are initially configured.Keys associated with DNS names can be retrieved to support other protocols. Provision is made for a variety of key types and algorithms.

In addition, the security extensions provide for the optional authentication of DNS protocol transactions and requests.

This document incorporates feedback on RFC 2065 from early implementers and potential users.

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an application-layer control(signaling) protocol for creating, modifying and terminating sessions with one or more participants. These sessions include Internet multimedia conferences, Internet telephone calls and multimedia distribution. Members in a session can communicate via multicast or via a mesh of unicast relations, or a combination of these.

SIP invitations used to create sessions carry session descriptions which allow participants to agree on a set of compatible media types.SIP supports user mobility by proxying and redirecting requests to the user's current location. Users can register their current location. SIP is not tied to any particular conference control protocol. SIP is designed to be independent of the lower-layer transport protocol and can be extended with additional capabilities.

Obsoletes:RFC 2110
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2557
HTML [RFC 1866] defines a powerful means of specifying multimedia documents. These multimedia documents consist of a text/html root resource (object) and other subsidiary resources (image, video clip, applet, etc. objects) referenced by Uniform Resource Identifiers(URIs) within the text/html root resource. When an HTML multimedia document is retrieved by a browser, each of these component resources is individually retrieved in real time from a location, and using a protocol, specified by each URI.

In order to transfer a complete HTML multimedia document in a single e-mail message, it is necessary to: a) aggregate a text/html root resource and all of the subsidiary resources it references into a single composite message structure, and b) define a means by whichURIs in the text/html root can reference subsidiary resources within that composite message structure.

This document a) defines the use of a MIME multipart/related structure to aggregate a text/html root resource and the subsidiary resources it references, and b) specifies a MIME content-header(Content-Location) that allow URIs in a multipart/related text/html root body part to reference subsidiary resources in other body parts of the same multipart/related structure.

While initially designed to support e-mail transfer of complete multi-resource HTML multimedia documents, these conventions can also be employed to resources retrieved by other transfer protocols such as HTTP and FTP to retrieve a complete multi-resource HTML multimedia document in a single transfer or for storage and archiving of complete HTML-documents.

Differences between this and a previous version of this standard, which was published as RFC 2110, are summarized in chapter 12.

RFC 2561 Base Definitions of Managed Objects for TN3270E Using SMIv2
 
Authors:K. White, R. Moore.
Date:April 1999
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2561
This memo defines a Management Information Base (MIB) for configuring and managing TN3270E servers. TN3270E, defined by RFC 2355 [19], refers to the enhancements made to the Telnet 3270 (TN3270) terminal emulation practices. Refer to RFC 1041 [18], STD 8, RFC 854 [16], and STD 31, RFC 860 [17] for a sample of what is meant by TN3270 practices.

The MIB defined by this memo provides generic support for both host and gateway TN3270E server implementations. A TN3270E server connects a Telnet client performing 3270 emulation to a target SNA host over both a client-side network (client to TN3270E server) and an SNA Network (TN3270E server to target SNA host). The client-side network is typically TCP/IP, but it need not be.

A host TN3270E server refers to an implementation where the TN3270E server is collocated with the Systems Network Architecture (SNA)System Services Control Point (SSCP) for the dependent SecondaryLogical Units (SLUs) that the server makes available to its clients for connecting into a SNA network. A gateway TN3270E server resides on an SNA node other than an SSCP, either an SNA type 2.0 node, a boundary-function-attached type 2.1 node, or an APPN node acting in the role of a Dependent LU Requester (DLUR). Host and gatewayTN3270E server implementations typically differ greatly as to their internal implementation and system definition (SYSDEF) methods.

It is the intent that the MIB defined herein be extended by subsequent memos. For example, one such extension enables collection of TN3270E response time data.

This MIB has as a prerequisite theTN3270E-MIB, reference [20].

TN3270E, defined by RFC 2355 [19], refers to the enhancements made to the Telnet 3270 (TN3270) terminal emulation practices. Refer to RFC1041 [18], STD 8, RFC 854 [16], and STD 31, RFC 860 [17] for a sample of what is meant by TN3270 practices.

 
RFC 2563 DHCP Option to Disable Stateless Auto-Configuration in IPv4 Clients
 
Authors:R. Troll.
Date:May 1999
Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 8925
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2563
Operating Systems are now attempting to support ad-hoc networks of two or more systems, while keeping user configuration at a minimum.To accommodate this, in the absence of a central configuration mechanism (DHCP), some OS's are automatically choosing a link-localIP address which will allow them to communicate only with other hosts on the same link. This address will not allow the OS to communicate with anything beyond a router. However, some sites depend on the fact that a host with no DHCP response will have no IP address. This document describes a mechanism by which DHCP servers are able to tell clients that they do not have an IP address to offer, and that the client should not generate an IP address it's own.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 2609
The "service:" URL scheme name is used to define URLs (called"service: URLs" in this document) that are primarily intended to be used by the Service Location Protocol in order to distribute service access information. These schemes provide an extensible framework for client-based network software to obtain configuration information required to make use of network services. When registering a service: URL, the URL is accompanied by a set of well-defined attributes which define the service. These attributes convey configuration information to client software, or service characteristics meaningful to end users.

This document describes a formal procedure for defining and standardizing new service types and attributes for use with the"service:" scheme. The formal descriptions of service types and attributes are templates that are human and machine understandable.They SHOULD be used by administrative tools to parse service registration information and by client applications to provide localized translations of service attribute strings.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2640
The File Transfer Protocol, as defined in RFC 959 [RFC959] and RFC1123 Section 4 [RFC1123], is one of the oldest and widely used protocols on the Internet. The protocol's primary character set, 7 bit ASCII, has served the protocol well through the early growth years of the Internet. However, as the Internet becomes more global, there is a need to support character sets beyond 7 bit ASCII.

This document addresses the internationalization (I18n) of FTP, which includes supporting the multiple character sets and languages found throughout the Internet community. This is achieved by extending theFTP specification and giving recommendations for proper internationalization support.

Authors:S. Jackowski, D. Putzolu, E. Crawley, B. Davie.
Date:September 1999
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2688
A set of companion documents describe an architecture for providing integrated services over low-bitrate links, such as modem lines, ISDNB-channels, and sub-T1 links [1, 2, 3, 4]. The main components of the architecture are: a set of real-time encapsulation formats for asynchronous and synchronous low-bitrate links, a header compression architecture optimized for real-time flows, elements of negotiation protocols used between routers (or between hosts and routers), and announcement protocols used by applications to allow this negotiation to take place.

This document defines the service mappings of the IETF IntegratedServices for low-bitrate links, specifically the controlled load [5] and guaranteed [6] services. The approach takes the form of a set of guidelines and considerations for implementing these services, along with evaluation criteria for elements providing these services.

 
RFC 2710 Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) for IPv6

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2710
This document specifies the protocol used by an IPv6 router to discover the presence of multicast listeners (that is, nodes wishing to receive multicast packets) on its directly attached links, and to discover specifically which multicast addresses are of interest to those neighboring nodes. This protocol is referred to as MulticastListener Discovery or MLD. MLD is derived from version 2 of IPv4'sInternet Group Management Protocol, IGMPv2. One important difference to note is that MLD uses ICMPv6 (IP Protocol 58) message types, rather than IGMP (IP Protocol 2) message types.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 2725
The RIPE database specifications and RPSL language define languages used as the basis for representing information in a routing policy system. A repository for routing policy system information is known as a routing registry. A routing registry provides a means of exchanging information needed to address many issues of importance to the operation of the Internet. The implementation and deployment of a routing policy system must maintain some degree of integrity to be of any operational use. This document addresses the need to assure integrity of the data by providing an authentication and authorization model.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2733
This document specifies a payload format for generic forward error correction of media encapsulated in RTP. It is engineered for FEC algorithms based on the exclusive-or (parity) operation. The payload format allows end systems to transmit using arbitrary block lengths and parity schemes. It also allows for the recovery of both the payload and critical RTP header fields. Since FEC is sent as a separate stream, it is backwards compatible with non-FEC capable hosts, so that receivers which do not wish to implement FEC can just ignore the extensions.

RFC 2739 Calendar Attributes for vCard and LDAP
 
Authors:T. Small, D. Hennessy, F. Dawson.
Date:January 2000
Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 6350
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2739
When scheduling a calendar entity, such as an event, it is a prerequisite that an organizer has the calendar address of each attendee that will be invited to the event. Additionally, access to an attendee's current "busy time" provides an a priori indication of whether the attendee will be free to participate in the event.

In order to meet these challenges, a calendar user agent (CUA) needs a mechanism to locate (URI) individual user's calendar and free/busy time.

This memo defines three mechanisms for obtaining a URI to a user's calendar and free/busy time. These include:

- Manual transfer of the information;

- Personal data exchange using the vCard format; and

- Directory lookup using the LDAP protocol.

 
RFC 2740 OSPF for IPv6

Date:December 1999
Formats:txt json html
Obsoleted by:RFC 5340
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2740
This document describes the modifications to OSPF to support version6 of the Internet Protocol (IPv6). The fundamental mechanisms ofOSPF (flooding, DR election, area support, SPF calculations, etc.) remain unchanged. However, some changes have been necessary, either due to changes in protocol semantics between IPv4 and IPv6, or simply to handle the increased address size of IPv6.

Changes between OSPF for IPv4 and this document include the following. Addressing semantics have been removed from OSPF packets and the basic LSAs. New LSAs have been created to carry IPv6 addresses and prefixes. OSPF now runs on a per-link basis, instead of on a per-IP-subnet basis. Flooding scope for LSAs has been generalized. Authentication has been removed from the OSPF protocol itself, instead relying on IPv6's Authentication Header andEncapsulating Security Payload.

Most packets in OSPF for IPv6 are almost as compact as those in OSPF for IPv4, even with the larger IPv6 addresses. Most field-XSand packet-size limitations present in OSPF for IPv4 have been relaxed.In addition, option handling has been made more flexible.

All of OSPF for IPv4's optional capabilities, including on-demand circuit support, NSSA areas, and the multicast extensions to OSPF(MOSPF) are also supported in OSPF for IPv6.

 
RFC 2743 Generic Security Service Application Program Interface Version 2, Update 1

Formats:txt html json
Obsoletes:RFC 2078
Updated by:RFC 5554, RFC 5896
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2743
The Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API),Version 2, as defined in [RFC-2078], provides security services to callers in a generic fashion, supportable with a range of underlying mechanisms and technologies and hence allowing source-level portability of applications to different environments. This specification defines GSS-API services and primitives at a level independent of underlying mechanism and programming language environment, and is to be complemented by other, related specifications: documents defining specific parameter bindings for particular language environments documents defining token formats, protocols, and procedures to be implemented in order to realize GSS-API services atop particular security mechanisms

This memo obsoletes [RFC-2078], making specific, incremental changes in response to implementation experience and liaison requests. It is intended, therefore, that this memo or a successor version thereto will become the basis for subsequent progression of the GSS-API specification on the standards track.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 2744
This document specifies C language bindings for Version 2, Update 1 of the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API), which is described at a language-independent conceptual level in RFC-2743 [GSSAPI]. It obsoletes RFC-1509, making specific incremental changes in response to implementation experience and liaison requests. It is intended, therefore, that this memo or a successor version thereof will become the basis for subsequent progression of the GSS-API specification on the standards track.

The Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface provides security services to its callers, and is intended for implementation atop a variety of underlying cryptographic mechanisms.Typically, GSS-API callers will be application protocols into which security enhancements are integrated through invocation of services provided by the GSS-API. The GSS-API allows a caller application to authenticate a principal identity associated with a peer application, to delegate rights to a peer, and to apply security services such as confidentiality and integrity on a per-message basis.

This document describes a preemption priority policy element for use by signaled policy based admission protocols (such as [RSVP] and[COPS]).

Preemption priority defines a relative importance (rank) within the set of flows competing to be admitted into the network. Rather than admitting flows by order of arrival (First Come First Admitted) network nodes may consider priorities to preempt some previously admitted low priority flows in order to make room for a newer, high- priority flow.

This document describes the representation of identity information inPOLICY_DATA object [POL-EXT] for supporting policy based admission control in RSVP. The goal of identity representation is to allow a process on a system to securely identify the owner and the application of the communicating process (e.g. user id) and convey this information in RSVP messages (PATH or RESV) in a secure manner.We describe the encoding of identities as RSVP policy element. We describe the processing rules to generate identity policy elements for multicast merged flows. Subsequently, we describe representations of user identities for Kerberos and Public Key based user authentication mechanisms. In summary we describe the use of this identity information in an operational setting.

This document specifies a transition mechanism algorithm in addition to the mechanisms already specified in [TRANS-MECH]. The algorithm translates between IPv4 and IPv6 packet headers (including ICMP headers) in separate translator "boxes" in the network without requiring any per-connection state in those "boxes". This new algorithm can be used as part of a solution that allows IPv6 hosts, which do not have a permanently assigned IPv4 addresses, to communicate with IPv4-only hosts. The document neither specifies address assignment nor routing to and from the IPv6 hosts when they communicate with the IPv4-only hosts.

The Border Gateway Protocol [1] is an inter-autonomous system routing protocol designed for TCP/IP internets. Currently in the Internet BGP deployments are configured such that that all BGP speakers within a single AS must be fully meshed so that any external routing information must be re-distributed to all other routers within thatAS. This represents a serious scaling problem that has been well documented with several alternatives proposed [2,3].

This document describes the use and design of a method known as"Route Reflection" to alleviate the the need for "full mesh" IBGP.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 2797
This document defines a Certificate Management protocol using CMS(CMC). This protocol addresses two immediate needs within theInternet PKI community:

1. The need for an interface to public key certification products and services based on [CMS] and [PKCS10], and2. The need in [SMIMEV3] for a certificate enrollment protocol forDSA-signed certificates with Diffie-Hellman public keys.

A small number of additional services are defined to supplement the core certificate request service.

Throughout this specification the term CMS is used to refer to both[CMS] and [PKCS7]. For both signedData and envelopedData, CMS is a superset of the PKCS7. In general, the use of PKCS7 in this document is aligned to the Cryptographic Message Syntax [CMS] that provides a superset of the PKCS7 syntax. The term CMC refers to this specification.

Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 2616
Updated by:RFC 7230, RFC 7231
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2817
This memo explains how to use the Upgrade mechanism in HTTP/1.1 to initiate Transport Layer Security (TLS) over an existing TCP connection. This allows unsecured and secured HTTP traffic to share the same well known port (in this case, http: at 80 rather than https: at 443). It also enables "virtual hosting", so a single HTTP +TLS server can disambiguate traffic intended for several hostnames at a single IP address.

Since HTTP/1.1 [1] defines Upgrade as a hop-by-hop mechanism, this memo also documents the HTTP CONNECT method for establishing end-to- end tunnels across HTTP proxies. Finally, this memo establishes newIANA registries for public HTTP status codes, as well as public or private Upgrade product tokens.

This memo does NOT affect the current definition of the 'https' URI scheme, which already defines a separate namespace(http://example.org/ and https://example.org/ are not equivalent).

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2821
This document is a self-contained specification of the basic protocol for the Internet electronic mail transport. It consolidates, updates and clarifies, but doesn't add new or change existing functionality of the following:

- the original SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) specification ofRFC 821 [30],

- domain name system requirements and implications for mail transport from RFC 1035 [22] and RFC 974 [27],

- the clarifications and applicability statements in RFC 1123 [2], and

- material drawn from the SMTP Extension mechanisms [19].

It obsoletes RFC 821, RFC 974, and updates RFC 1123 (replaces the mail transport materials of RFC 1123). However, RFC 821 specifies some features that were not in significant use in the Internet by the mid-1990s and (in appendices) some additional transport models.Those sections are omitted here in the interest of clarity and brevity; readers needing them should refer to RFC 821.

It also includes some additional material from RFC 1123 that required amplification. This material has been identified in multiple ways, mostly by tracking flaming on various lists and newsgroups and problems of unusual readings or interpretations that have appeared as the SMTP extensions have been deployed. Where this specification moves beyond consolidation and actually differs from earlier documents, it supersedes them technically as well as textually.

Although SMTP was designed as a mail transport and delivery protocol, this specification also contains information that is important to its use as a 'mail submission' protocol, as recommended for POP [3, 26] and IMAP [6]. Additional submission issues are discussed in RFC 2476[15].

Section 2.3 provides definitions of terms specific to this document.Except when the historical terminology is necessary for clarity, this document uses the current 'client' and 'server' terminology to identify the sending and receiving SMTP processes, respectively.

A companion document [32] discusses message headers, message bodies and formats and structures for them, and their relationship.

Obsoletes:RFC 1374
Updated by:RFC 5494
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2834
This document specifies a method for resolving IP addresses to ANSIHigh-Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) hardware addresses and for emulating IP broadcast in a logical IP subnet (LIS) as a direct extension of HARP. This memo defines a HARP that will interoperate between HIPPI-800 and HIPPI-6400 (also known as Gigabyte SystemNetwork, GSN).

RFC 2835 IP and ARP over HIPPI-6400 (GSN)
 
Authors:J.-M. Pittet.
Date:May 2000
Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 5494
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2835
The ANSI T11.1 task force has standardized HIPPI-6400 also known asGigabyte System Network (GSN), a physical-level, point-to-point, full-duplex, link interface for reliable, flow-controlled, transmission of user data at 6400 Mbit/s, per direction. A parallel copper cable interface for distances of up to 40 m is specified inHIPPI-6400-PH [1]. Connections to a longer-distance optical interface are standardized in HIPPI-6400-OPT [3].

HIPPI-6400-PH [1] defines the encapsulation of IEEE 802.2 LLC PDUs[10] and by implication, IP on GSN. Another T11.1 standard describes the operation of HIPPI-6400 physical switches HIPPI-6400-SC [2].T11.1 chose to leave HIPPI-6400 networking issues largely outside the scope of their standards; this document specifies the use of HIPPI-6400 switches as IP local area networks. This document further specifies a method for resolving IP addresses to HIPPI-6400 hardware addresses (HARP) and for emulating IP broadcast in a logical IP subnet (LIS) as a direct extension of HARP. Furthermore it is the goal of this memo to define a IP and HARP that will allow interoperability for HIPPI-800 and HIPPI-6400 equipment both broadcast and non-broadcast capable networks.

Date:May 2000
Formats:txt html json
Obsoleted by:RFC 3392
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2842
Currently BGP-4 [BGP-4] requires that when a BGP speaker receives anOPEN message with one or more unrecognized Optional Parameters, the speaker must terminate BGP peering. This complicates introduction of new capabilities in BGP.

This document defines new Optional Parameter, called Capabilities, that is expected to facilitate introduction of new capabilities inBGP by providing graceful capability advertisement without requiring that BGP peering be terminated.

RFC 2847 LIPKEY - A Low Infrastructure Public Key Mechanism Using SPKM
 
Authors:M. Eisler.
Date:June 2000
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2847
This memorandum describes a method whereby one can use GSS-API[RFC2078] to supply a secure channel between a client and server, authenticating the client with a password, and a server with a public key certificate. As such, it is analogous to the common low infrastructure usage of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol[RFC2246].

The method leverages the existing Simple Public Key Mechanism (SPKM)[RFC2025], and is specified as a separate GSS-API mechanism (LIPKEY) layered above SPKM.

RFC 2852 Deliver By SMTP Service Extension
 
Authors:D. Newman.
Date:June 2000
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 1894
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2852
This memo defines a mechanism whereby a SMTP client can request, when transmitting a message to a SMTP server, that the server deliver the message within a prescribed period of time. A client making such a request also specifies the message handling which is to occur if the message cannot be delivered within the specified time period: either the message is to be returned as undeliverable with no further processing, or a "delayed" delivery status notification (DSN) [6] is to be issued.

This extension should not be viewed as a vehicle for requesting"priority" processing. A receiving SMTP server may assign whatever processing priority it wishes to a message transmitted with a DeliverBy request. A Deliver By request serves to express a message's urgency and to provide an additional degree of determinancy in its processing. An indication of an urgent message's status within a given time period may be requested and will be honored. Moreover, the message may be withdrawn if not delivered within that time period.

A typical usage of this mechanism is to prevent delivery of a message beyond some future time of significance to the sender or recipient but not known by the MTAs handling the message. For instance, the sender may know that the message will be delivered as a page but does not consider the message to be sufficiently important as to warrant paging the recipient after business hours. In that case, the message could be marked such that delivery attempts are not made beyond

17:00. Another common usage arises when a sender wishes to be alerted to delivery delays. In this case, the sender can mark a message such that if it is not delivered within, say, 30 minutes, a"delayed" DSN is generated but delivery attempts are nonetheless continued. In this case the sender has been allowed to express a preference for when they would like to learn of delivery problems.

 
RFC 2853 Generic Security Service API Version 2 : Java Bindings
 
Authors:J. Kabat, M. Upadhyay.

Obsoleted by:RFC 5653
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2853
The Generic Security Services Application Program Interface (GSS-API) offers application programmers uniform access to security services atop a variety of underlying cryptographic mechanisms. This document specifies the Java bindings for GSS-API which is described at a language independent conceptual level in RFC 2743 [GSSAPIv2-UPDATE].

The GSS-API allows a caller application to authenticate a principal identity, to delegate rights to a peer, and to apply security services such as confidentiality and integrity on a per-message basis. Examples of security mechanisms defined for GSS-API are TheSimple Public-Key GSS-API Mechanism [SPKM] and The Kerberos Version 5GSS-API Mechanism [KERBV5].

This memo details the usage of policy elements that provide application information.
 
RFC 2873 TCP Processing of the IPv4 Precedence Field
 
Authors:X. Xiao, A. Hannan, V. Paxson, E. Crabbe.
Date:June 2000
Formats:txt html json
Obsoleted by:RFC 9293
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2873
This memo describes a conflict between TCP [RFC793] and DiffServ[RFC2475] on the use of the three leftmost bits in the TOS octet of an IPv4 header [RFC791]. In a network that contains DiffServ-capable nodes, such a conflict can cause failures in establishing TCP connections or can cause some established TCP connections to be reset undesirably. This memo proposes a modification to TCP for resolving the conflict.

Because the IPv6 [RFC2460] traffic class octet does not have any defined meaning except what is defined in RFC 2474, and in particular does not define precedence or security parameter bits, there is no conflict between TCP and DiffServ on the use of any bits in the IPv6 traffic class octet.

Obsoletes:RFC 1638
Obsoleted by:RFC 3518
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2878
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [6] provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links. PPP defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, and proposes a family ofNetwork Control Protocols for establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols.

This document defines the Network Control Protocol for establishing and configuring Remote Bridging for PPP links.

This document obsoletes RFC 1638, which was based on the IEEE802.1D-1993 MAC Bridge[3]. This document extends that specification by including the IEEE 802.1D-1998 MAC Bridge[8] and IEEE 802.1QVirtual LAN (VLAN)[9] standards. This document also improves the protocol in order to support high-speed switched LANs.

RFC 2883 An Extension to the Selective Acknowledgement (SACK) Option for TCP
 
Authors:S. Floyd, J. Mahdavi, M. Mathis, M. Podolsky.
Date:July 2000
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2883
This note defines an extension of the Selective Acknowledgement(SACK) Option [RFC2018] for TCP. RFC 2018 specified the use of theSACK option for acknowledging out-of-sequence data not covered byTCP's cumulative acknowledgement field. This note extends RFC 2018 by specifying the use of the SACK option for acknowledging duplicate packets. This note suggests that when duplicate packets are received, the first block of the SACK option field can be used to report the sequence numbers of the packet that triggered the acknowledgement. This extension to the SACK option allows the TCP sender to infer the order of packets received at the receiver, allowing the sender to infer when it has unnecessarily retransmitted a packet. A TCP sender could then use this information for more robust operation in an environment of reordered packets [BPS99], ACK loss, packet replication, and/or early retransmit timeouts.

RFC 2891 LDAP Control Extension for Server Side Sorting of Search Results
 
Authors:T. Howes, M. Wahl, A. Anantha.
Date:August 2000
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2891
This document describes two LDAPv3 control extensions for server side sorting of search results. These controls allows a client to specify the attribute types and matching rules a server should use when returning the results to an LDAP search request. The controls may be useful when the LDAP client has limited functionality or for some other reason cannot sort the results but still needs them sorted.Other permissible controls on search operations are not defined in this extension.

The sort controls allow a server to return a result code for the sorting of the results that is independent of the result code returned for the search operation.

The key words "MUST", "SHOULD", and "MAY" used in this document are to be interpreted as described in [bradner97].

RFC 2894 Router Renumbering for IPv6
 
Authors:M. Crawford.
Date:August 2000
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2894
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery and Address Autoconfiguration conveniently make initial assignments of address prefixes to hosts. Aside from the problem of connection survival across a renumbering event, these two mechanisms also simplify the reconfiguration of hosts when the set of valid prefixes changes.

This document defines a mechanism called Router Renumbering ("RR") which allows address prefixes on routers to be configured and reconfigured almost as easily as the combination of NeighborDiscovery and Address Autoconfiguration works for hosts. It provides a means for a network manager to make updates to the prefixes used by and advertised by IPv6 routers throughout a site.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2910
This document is one of a set of documents, which together describe all aspects of a new Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). IPP is an application level protocol that can be used for distributed printing using Internet tools and technologies. This document defines the rules for encoding IPP operations and IPP attributes into a newInternet mime media type called "application/ipp". This document also defines the rules for transporting over Hypertext TransferProtocol (HTTP) a message body whose Content-Type is"application/ipp". This document defines a new scheme named 'ipp' for identifying IPP printers and jobs.

The full set of IPP documents includes:

Design Goals for an Internet Printing Protocol [RFC2567]Rationale for the Structure and Model and Protocol for the InternetPrinting Protocol [RFC2568]Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Model and Semantics [RFC2911]Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Encoding and Transport (this document)Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Implementer's Guide [ipp-iig]Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols [RFC2569]

The document, "Design Goals for an Internet Printing Protocol", takes a broad look at distributed printing functionality, and it enumerates real-life scenarios that help to clarify the features that need to be included in a printing protocol for the Internet. It identifies requirements for three types of users: end users, operators, and administrators. It calls out a subset of end user requirements that are satisfied in IPP/1.1. A few OPTIONAL operator operations have been added to IPP/1.1.

The document, "Rationale for the Structure and Model and Protocol for the Internet Printing Protocol", describes IPP from a high level view, defines a roadmap for the various documents that form the suite of IPP specification documents, and gives background and rationale for the IETF working group's major decisions.

The document, "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Model and Semantics", describes a simplified model with abstract objects, their attributes, and their operations that are independent of encoding and transport.It introduces a Printer and a Job object. The Job object optionally supports multiple documents per Job. It also addresses security, internationalization, and directory issues.

The document "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Implementer's Guide", gives advice to implementers of IPP clients and IPP objects.

The document "Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols", gives some advice to implementers of gateways between IPP and LPD (Line PrinterDaemon) implementations.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 2911
This document is one of a set of documents, which together describe all aspects of a new Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). IPP is an application level protocol that can be used for distributed printing using Internet tools and technologies. This document describes a simplified model consisting of abstract objects, their attributes, and their operations that is independent of encoding and transport.The model consists of a Printer and a Job object. A Job optionally supports multiple documents. IPP 1.1 semantics allow end-users and operators to query printer capabilities, submit print jobs, inquire about the status of print jobs and printers, cancel, hold, release, and restart print jobs. IPP 1.1 semantics allow operators to pause, resume, and purge (jobs from) Printer objects. This document also addresses security, internationalization, and directory issues.

The full set of IPP documents includes:

Design Goals for an Internet Printing Protocol [RFC2567]Rationale for the Structure and Model and Protocol for the InternetPrinting Protocol [RFC2568]Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Model and Semantics (this document)Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Encoding and Transport [RFC2910]Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Implementer's Guide [IPP-IIG]Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols [RFC2569]

The "Design Goals for an Internet Printing Protocol" document takes a broad look at distributed printing functionality, and it enumerates real-life scenarios that help to clarify the features that need to be included in a printing protocol for the Internet. It identifies requirements for three types of users: end users, operators, and administrators. It calls out a subset of end user requirements that are satisfied in IPP/1.0. A few OPTIONAL operator operations have been added to IPP/1.1.

The "Rationale for the Structure and Model and Protocol for theInternet Printing Protocol" document describes IPP from a high level view, defines a roadmap for the various documents that form the suite of IPP specification documents, and gives background and rationale for the IETF working group's major decisions.

The "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Encoding and Transport" document is a formal mapping of the abstract operations and attributes defined in the model document onto HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616]. It defines the encoding rules for a new Internet MIME media type called"application/ipp". This document also defines the rules for transporting over HTTP a message body whose Content-Type is"application/ipp". This document defines a new scheme named 'ipp' for identifying IPP printers and jobs.

The "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Implementer's Guide" document gives insight and advice to implementers of IPP clients and IPP objects. It is intended to help them understand IPP/1.1 and some of the considerations that may assist them in the design of their client and/or IPP object implementations. For example, a typical order of processing requests is given, including error checking. Motivation for some of the specification decisions is also included.

The "Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols" document gives some advice to implementers of gateways between IPP and LPD (Line PrinterDaemon) implementations.

RFC 2915 The Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) DNS Resource Record
 
Authors:M. Mealling, R. Daniel.
Date:September 2000
Formats:txt json html
Obsoleted by:RFC 3401, RFC 3402, RFC 3403, RFC 3404
Updates:RFC 2168
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2915
This document describes a Domain Name System (DNS) resource record which specifies a regular expression based rewrite rule that, when applied to an existing string, will produce a new domain label orUniform Resource Identifier (URI). Depending on the value of the flags field of the resource record, the resulting domain label or URI may be used in subsequent queries for the Naming Authority Pointer(NAPTR) resource records (to delegate the name lookup) or as the output of the entire process for which this system is used (a resolution server for URI resolution, a service URI for ENUM style e.164 number to URI mapping, etc).

This allows the DNS to be used to lookup services for a wide variety of resource names (including URIs) which are not in domain name syntax. Reasons for doing this range from URN Resource DiscoverySystems to moving out-of-date services to new domains.

This document updates the portions of RFC 2168 specifically dealing with the definition of the NAPTR records and how other, non-URI specific applications, might use NAPTR.

RFC 2919 List-Id: A Structured Field and Namespace for the Identification of Mailing Lists
 
Authors:R. Chandhok, G. Wenger.
Date:March 2001
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2919
Software that handles electronic mailing list messages (servers and user agents) needs a way to reliably identify messages that belong to a particular mailing list. With the advent of list management headers, it has become even more important to provide a unique identifier for a mailing list regardless of the particular host that serves as the list processor at any given time.

The List-Id header provides a standard location for such an identifier. In addition, a namespace for list identifiers based on fully qualified domain names is described. This namespace is intended to guarantee uniqueness for list owners who require it, while allowing for a less rigorous namespace for experimental and personal use.

By including the List-Id field, list servers can make it easier for mail clients to provide automated tools for users to perform list functions. The list identifier can serve as a key to make many automated processing tasks easier, and hence more widely available.

RFC 2945 The SRP Authentication and Key Exchange System
 
Authors:T. Wu.
Date:September 2000
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2945
This document describes a cryptographically strong network authentication mechanism known as the Secure Remote Password (SRP) protocol. This mechanism is suitable for negotiating secure connections using a user-supplied password, while eliminating the security problems traditionally associated with reusable passwords.This system also performs a secure key exchange in the process of authentication, allowing security layers (privacy and/or integrity protection) to be enabled during the session. Trusted key servers and certificate infrastructures are not required, and clients are not required to store or manage any long-term keys. SRP offers both security and deployment advantages over existing challenge-response techniques, making it an ideal drop-in replacement where secure password authentication is needed.

RFC 2996 Format of the RSVP DCLASS Object
 
Authors:Y. Bernet.
Date:November 2000
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2996
Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) signaling may be used to requestQuality of Service (QoS) services and enhance the manageability of application traffic's QoS in a differentiated service (diff-serv orDS) network. When using RSVP with DS networks it is useful to be able to carry carry Differentiated Services Code Points (DSCPs) inRSVP message objects. One example of this is the use of RSVP to arrange for the marking of packets with a particular DSCP upstream from the DS network's ingress point, at the sender or at a previous network's egress router.

The DCLASS object is used to represent and carry DSCPs within RSVP messages. This document specifies the format of the DCLASS object and briefly discusses its use.

 
RFC 2997 Specification of the Null Service Type
 
Authors:Y. Bernet, A. Smith, B. Davie.
Date:November 2000
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2997
In the typical Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP)/Intserv model, applications request a specific Intserv service type and quantify the resources required for that service. For certain applications, the determination of service parameters is best left to the discretion of the network administrator. For example, ERP applications are often mission critical and require some form of prioritized service, but cannot readily specify their resource requirements. To serve such applications, we introduce the notion of the 'Null Service'. TheNull Service allows applications to identify themselves to networkQuality of Service (QoS) policy agents, using RSVP signaling.However, it does not require them to specify resource requirements.QoS policy agents in the network respond by applying QoS policies appropriate for the application (as determined by the network administrator). This mode of RSVP usage is particularly applicable to networks that combine differentiated service (diffserv) QoS mechanisms with RSVP signaling [intdiff]. In this environment, QoS policy agents may direct the signaled application's traffic to a particular diffserv class of service.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3004
This option is used by a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client to optionally identify the type or category of user or applications it represents. The information contained in this option is an opaque field that represents the user class of which the client is a member. Based on this class, a DHCP server selects the appropriate address pool to assign an address to the client and the appropriate configuration parameters. This option should be configurable by a user.
 
RFC 3006 Integrated Services in the Presence of Compressible Flows
 
Authors:B. Davie, C. Iturralde, D. Oran, S. Casner, J. Wroclawski.
Date:November 2000
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3006
An Integrated Services (int-serv) router performs admission control and resource allocation based on the information contained in a TSpec(among other things). As currently defined, TSpecs convey information about the data rate (using a token bucket) and range of packet sizes of the flow in question. However, the TSpec may not be an accurate representation of the resources needed to support the reservation if the router is able to compress the data at the link level. This specification describes an extension to the TSpec which enables a sender of potentially compressible data to provide hints to int-serv routers about the compressibility they may obtain. Routers which support appropriate compression take advantage of the hint in their admission control decisions and resource allocation procedures; other routers ignore the hint. An initial application of this approach is to notify routers performing real-time transport protocol(RTP) header compression that they may allocate fewer resources toRTP flows.

NFS (Network File System) version 4 is a distributed file system protocol which owes heritage to NFS protocol versions 2 [RFC1094] and3 [RFC1813]. Unlike earlier versions, the NFS version 4 protocol supports traditional file access while integrating support for file locking and the mount protocol. In addition, support for strong security (and its negotiation), compound operations, client caching, and internationalization have been added. Of course, attention has been applied to making NFS version 4 operate well in an Internet environment.

Mobile IP, as originally specified, defines an authentication extension (the Mobile-Foreign Authentication extension) by which a mobile node can authenticate itself to a foreign agent.Unfortunately, this extension does not provide ironclad replay protection for the foreign agent, and does not allow for the use of existing techniques (such as CHAP) for authenticating portable computer devices. In this specification, we define extensions for the Mobile IP Agent Advertisements and the Registration Request that allow a foreign agent to use a challenge/response mechanism to authenticate the mobile node.

This document standardizes five new media types -- text/xml, application/xml, text/xml-external-parsed-entity, application/xml- external-parsed-entity, and application/xml-dtd -- for use in exchanging network entities that are related to the Extensible MarkupLanguage (XML). This document also standardizes a convention (using the suffix '+xml') for naming media types outside of these five types when those media types represent XML MIME (Multipurpose Internet MailExtensions) entities. XML MIME entities are currently exchanged via the HyperText Transfer Protocol on the World Wide Web, are an integral part of the WebDAV protocol for remote web authoring, and are expected to have utility in many domains.

Major differences from RFC 2376 are (1) the addition of text/xml- external-parsed-entity, application/xml-external-parsed-entity, and application/xml-dtd, (2) the '+xml' suffix convention (which also updates the RFC 2048 registration process), and (3) the discussion of"utf-16le" and "utf-16be".

 
RFC 3024 Reverse Tunneling for Mobile IP, revised
 
Authors:G. Montenegro, Ed..
Date:January 2001
Formats:txt json html
Obsoletes:RFC 2344
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3024
Mobile Internet Protocol (IP) uses tunneling from the home agent to the mobile node's care-of address, but rarely in the reverse direction. Usually, a mobile node sends its packets through a router on the foreign network, and assumes that routing is independent of source address. When this assumption is not true, it is convenient to establish a topologically correct reverse tunnel from the care-of address to the home agent.

This document proposes backwards-compatible extensions to Mobile IP to support topologically correct reverse tunnels. This document does not attempt to solve the problems posed by firewalls located between the home agent and the mobile node's care-of address.

This document obsoletes RFC 2344.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3032
"Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)" [1] requires a set of procedures for augmenting network layer packets with "label stacks", thereby turning them into "labeled packets". Routers which supportMPLS are known as "Label Switching Routers", or "LSRs". In order to transmit a labeled packet on a particular data link, an LSR must support an encoding technique which, given a label stack and a network layer packet, produces a labeled packet. This document specifies the encoding to be used by an LSR in order to transmit labeled packets on Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) data links, on LAN data links, and possibly on other data links as well. On some data links, the label at the top of the stack may be encoded in a different manner, but the techniques described here MUST be used to encode the remainder of the label stack. This document also specifies rules and procedures for processing the various fields of the label stack encoding.
 
RFC 3033 The Assignment of the Information Field and Protocol Identifier in the Q.2941 Generic Identifier and Q.2957 User-to-user Signaling for the Internet Protocol

RFC 3035 MPLS using LDP and ATM VC Switching
 
Authors:B. Davie, J. Lawrence, K. McCloghrie, E. Rosen, G. Swallow, Y. Rekhter, P. Doolan.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3035
The Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Architecture [1] discusses a way in which Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switches may be used asLabel Switching Routers. The ATM switches run network layer routing algorithms (such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), IntermediateSystem to Intermediate System (IS-IS), etc.), and their data forwarding is based on the results of these routing algorithms. NoATM-specific routing or addressing is needed. ATM switches used in this way are known as ATM-LSRs (Label Switching Routers).

This document extends and clarifies the relevant portions of [1] and[2] by specifying in more detail the procedures which to be used when distributing labels to or from ATM-LSRs, when those labels representForwarding Equivalence Classes (FECs, see [1]) for which the routes are determined on a hop-by-hop basis by network layer routing algorithms.

This document also specifies the MPLS encapsulation to be used when sending labeled packets to or from ATM-LSRs, and in that respect is a companion document to [3].

DOI:10.17487/RFC 3036
The architecture for Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is described in RFC 3031. A fundamental concept in MPLS is that twoLabel Switching Routers (LSRs) must agree on the meaning of the labels used to forward traffic between and through them. This common understanding is achieved by using a set of procedures, called a label distribution protocol, by which one LSR informs another of label bindings it has made. This document defines a set of such procedures called LDP (for Label Distribution Protocol) by which LSRs distribute labels to support MPLS forwarding along normally routed paths.

Updated by:RFC 7274
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3038
The Asynchronous Transfer Mode Label Switching Router (ATM-LSR) is one of the major applications of label switching. Because the ATM layer labels (VPI and VCI) associated with a VC rewritten with new value at every ATM switch nodes, it is not possible to use them to identify a VC in label mapping messages. The concept of VirtualConnection Identifier (VCID) is introduced to solve this problem.VCID has the same value at both ends of a VC. This document specifies the procedures for the communication of VCID values between neighboring ATM-LSRs that must occur in order to ensure this property.

This document forms a certificate profile for Qualified Certificates, based on RFC 2459, for use in the Internet. The term QualifiedCertificate is used to describe a certificate with a certain qualified status within applicable governing law. Further, QualifiedCertificates are issued exclusively to physical persons.

The goal of this document is to define a general syntax independent of local legal requirements. The profile is however designed to allow further profiling in order to meet specific local needs.

It is important to note that the profile does not define any legal requirements for Qualified Certificates.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3041
Nodes use IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration to generate addresses without the necessity of a Dynamic Host ConfigurationProtocol (DHCP) server. Addresses are formed by combining network prefixes with an interface identifier. On interfaces that contain embedded IEEE Identifiers, the interface identifier is typically derived from it. On other interface types, the interface identifier is generated through other means, for example, via random number generation. This document describes an extension to IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration for interfaces whose interface identifier is derived from an IEEE identifier. Use of the extension causes nodes to generate global-scope addresses from interface identifiers that change over time, even in cases where the interface contains an embedded IEEE identifier. Changing the interface identifier (and the global-scope addresses generated from it) over time makes it more difficult for eavesdroppers and other information collectors to identify when different addresses used in different transactions actually correspond to the same node.
 
RFC 3042 Enhancing TCP's Loss Recovery Using Limited Transmit
 
Authors:M. Allman, H. Balakrishnan, S. Floyd.
Date:January 2001
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3042
This document proposes a new Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) mechanism that can be used to more effectively recover lost segments when a connection's congestion window is small, or when a large number of segments are lost in a single transmission window. The"Limited Transmit" algorithm calls for sending a new data segment in response to each of the first two duplicate acknowledgments that arrive at the sender. Transmitting these segments increases the probability that TCP can recover from a single lost segment using the fast retransmit algorithm, rather than using a costly retransmission timeout. Limited Transmit can be used both in conjunction with, and in the absence of, the TCP selective acknowledgment (SACK) mechanism.
 
RFC 3046 DHCP Relay Agent Information Option
 
Authors:M. Patrick.
Date:January 2001
Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 6607
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3046
Newer high-speed public Internet access technologies call for a high-speed modem to have a local area network (LAN) attachment to one or more customer premise hosts. It is advantageous to use theDynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) as defined in RFC 2131 to assign customer premise host IP addresses in this environment.However, a number of security and scaling problems arise with such"public" DHCP use. This document describes a new DHCP option to address these issues. This option extends the set of DHCP options as defined in RFC 2132.

The new option is called the Relay Agent Information option and is inserted by the DHCP relay agent when forwarding client-originatedDHCP packets to a DHCP server. Servers recognizing the Relay AgentInformation option may use the information to implement IP address or other parameter assignment policies. The DHCP Server echoes the option back verbatim to the relay agent in server-to-client replies, and the relay agent strips the option before forwarding the reply to the client.

The "Relay Agent Information" option is organized as a single DHCP option that contains one or more "sub-options" that convey information known by the relay agent. The initial sub-options are defined for a relay agent that is co-located in a public circuit access unit. These include a "circuit ID" for the incoming circuit, and a "remote ID" which provides a trusted identifier for the remote high-speed modem.

RFC 3056 Connection of IPv6 Domains via IPv4 Clouds
 
Authors:B. Carpenter, K. Moore.
Date:February 2001
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3056
This memo specifies an optional interim mechanism for IPv6 sites to communicate with each other over the IPv4 network without explicit tunnel setup, and for them to communicate with native IPv6 domains via relay routers. Effectively it treats the wide area IPv4 network as a unicast point-to-point link layer. The mechanism is intended as a start-up transition tool used during the period of co-existence ofIPv4 and IPv6. It is not intended as a permanent solution.

The document defines a method for assigning an interim unique IPv6 address prefix to any site that currently has at least one globally unique IPv4 address, and specifies an encapsulation mechanism for transmitting IPv6 packets using such a prefix over the global IPv4 network.

The motivation for this method is to allow isolated IPv6 domains or hosts, attached to an IPv4 network which has no native IPv6 support, to communicate with other such IPv6 domains or hosts with minimal manual configuration, before they can obtain natuve IPv6 connectivity. It incidentally provides an interim globally uniqueIPv6 address prefix to any site with at least one globally uniqueIPv4 address, even if combined with an IPv4 Network AddressTranslator (NAT).

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3065
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an inter-autonomous system routing protocol designed for Transmission Control Protocol/InternetProtocol (TCP/IP) networks. BGP requires that all BGP speakers within a single autonomous system (AS) must be fully meshed. This represents a serious scaling problem that has been well documented in a number of proposals.

This document describes an extension to BGP which may be used to create a confederation of autonomous systems that is represented as a single autonomous system to BGP peers external to the confederation, thereby removing the "full mesh" requirement. The intention of this extension is to aid in policy administration and reduce the management complexity of maintaining a large autonomous system.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3074
This document proposes a method of algorithmic load balancing. It enables multiple, cooperating servers to decide which one should service a client, without exchanging any information beyond initial configuration.

The server selection is based on the servers hashing client MediaAccess Control (MAC) addresses when multiple Dynamic HostConfiguration Protocol (DHCP) servers are available to service DHCP clients. The proposed technique provides for efficient server selection when multiple DHCP servers offer services on a network without requiring any changes to existing DHCP clients. The same method is proposed to select the target server of a forwarding agent such as a Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) relay.

The definition of a secured zone is presented, clarifying and updating sections of RFC 2535. RFC 2535 defines a zone to be secured based on a per algorithm basis, e.g., a zone can be secured with RSA keys, and not secured with DSA keys. This document changes this to define a zone to be secured or not secured regardless of the key algorithm used (or not used). To further simplify the determination of a zone's status, "experimentally secure" status is deprecated.
 
RFC 3095 RObust Header Compression (ROHC): Framework and four profiles: RTP, UDP, ESP, and uncompressed

Date:July 2001
Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 3759, RFC 4815
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3095
This document specifies a highly robust and efficient header compression scheme for RTP/UDP/IP (Real-Time Transport Protocol, UserDatagram Protocol, Internet Protocol), UDP/IP, and ESP/IP(Encapsulating Security Payload) headers.

Existing header compression schemes do not work well when used over links with significant error rates and long round-trip times. For many bandwidth limited links where header compression is essential, such characteristics are common.

This is done in a framework designed to be extensible. For example, a scheme for compressing TCP/IP headers will be simple to add, and is in development. Headers specific to Mobile IPv4 are not subject to special treatment, but are expected to be compressed sufficiently well by the provided methods for compression of sequences of extension headers and tunneling headers. For the most part, the same will apply to work in progress on Mobile IPv6, but future work might be required to handle some extension headers, when a standards trackMobile IPv6 has been completed.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 3181
This document describes a preemption priority policy element for use by signaled policy based admission protocols (such as the ResourceReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) and Common Open Policy Service (COPS).

Preemption priority defines a relative importance (rank) within the set of flows competing to be admitted into the network. Rather than admitting flows by order of arrival (First Come First Admitted) network nodes may consider priorities to preempt some previously admitted low priority flows in order to make room for a newer, high- priority flow.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3182
This document describes the representation of identity information inPOLICY_DATA object for supporting policy based admission control in the Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP). The goal of identity representation is to allow a process on a system to securely identify the owner and the application of the communicating process (e.g., user id) and convey this information in RSVP messages (PATH or RESV) in a secure manner. We describe the encoding of identities as RSVP policy element. We describe the processing rules to generate identity policy elements for multicast merged flows. Subsequently, we describe representations of user identities for Kerberos andPublic Key based user authentication mechanisms. In summary, we describe the use of this identity information in an operational setting.

This memo corrects an RSVP POLICY_DATA P-Type codepoint assignment error and a field size definition error in ErrorValue in RFC 2752.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3209
This document describes the use of RSVP (Resource ReservationProtocol), including all the necessary extensions, to establish label-switched paths (LSPs) in MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching).Since the flow along an LSP is completely identified by the label applied at the ingress node of the path, these paths may be treated as tunnels. A key application of LSP tunnels is traffic engineering with MPLS as specified in RFC 2702.

We propose several additional objects that extend RSVP, allowing the establishment of explicitly routed label switched paths using RSVP as a signaling protocol. The result is the instantiation of label- switched tunnels which can be automatically routed away from network failures, congestion, and bottlenecks.

Date:January 2002
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3214
This document presents an approach to modify the bandwidth and possibly other parameters of an established CR-LSP (Constraint-basedRouted Label Switched Paths) using CR-LDP (Constraint-based RoutedLabel Distribution Protocol) without service interruption. After aCR-LSP is set up, its bandwidth reservation may need to be changed by the network operator, due to the new requirements for the traffic carried on that CR-LSP. The LSP modification feature can be supported by CR-LDP by use of the _modify_value for the _action indicator flag_ in the LSPID TLV. This feature has application in dynamic network resources management where traffic of different priorities and service classes is involved.

This document presents the Telephony Routing over IP (TRIP). TRIP is a policy driven inter-administrative domain protocol for advertising the reachability of telephony destinations between location servers, and for advertising attributes of the routes to those destinations.TRIP's operation is independent of any signaling protocol, hence TRIP can serve as the telephony routing protocol for any signaling protocol.

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-4) is used to distribute routing information between administrative domains. TRIP is used to distribute telephony routing information between telephony administrative domains. The similarity between the two protocols is obvious, and hence TRIP is modeled after BGP-4.

 
RFC 3220 IP Mobility Support for IPv4

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3220
This document specifies protocol enhancements that allow transparent routing of IP datagrams to mobile nodes in the Internet. Each mobile node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While situated away from its home, a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which provides information about its current point of attachment to the Internet. The protocol provides for registering the care-of address with a home agent. The home agent sends datagrams destined for the mobile node through a tunnel to the care- of address. After arriving at the end of the tunnel, each datagram is then delivered to the mobile node.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3225
In order to deploy DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) operationally, DNSSEC aware servers should only perform automatic inclusion of DNSSEC RRs when there is an explicit indication that the resolver can understand those RRs. This document proposes the use of a bit in the EDNS0 header to provide that explicit indication and describes the necessary protocol changes to implement that notification.

Updated by:RFC 4033, RFC 4034, RFC 4035
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3226
This document mandates support for EDNS0 (Extension Mechanisms forDNS) in DNS entities claiming to support either DNS SecurityExtensions or A6 records. This requirement is necessary because these new features increase the size of DNS messages. If EDNS0 is not supported fall back to TCP will happen, having a detrimental impact on query latency and DNS server load. This document updatesRFC 2535 and RFC 2874, by adding new requirements.
 
RFC 3229 Delta encoding in HTTP
 
Authors:J. Mogul, B. Krishnamurthy, F. Douglis, A. Feldmann, Y. Goland, A. van Hoff, D. Hellerstein.
Date:January 2002
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3229
This document describes how delta encoding can be supported as a compatible extension to HTTP/1.1.

Many HTTP (Hypertext Transport Protocol) requests cause the retrieval of slightly modified instances of resources for which the client already has a cache entry. Research has shown that such modifying updates are frequent, and that the modifications are typically much smaller than the actual entity. In such cases, HTTP would make more efficient use of network bandwidth if it could transfer a minimal description of the changes, rather than the entire new instance of the resource. This is called "delta encoding."

 
RFC 3230 Instance Digests in HTTP
 
Authors:J. Mogul, A. Van Hoff.
Date:January 2002
Formats:txt json html
Obsoleted by:RFC 9530
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3230
HTTP/1.1 defines a Content-MD5 header that allows a server to include a digest of the response body. However, this is specifically defined to cover the body of the actual message, not the contents of the full file (which might be quite different, if the response is a Content-Range, or uses a delta encoding). Also, the Content-MD5 is limited to one specific digest algorithm; other algorithms, such as SHA-1(Secure Hash Standard), may be more appropriate in some circumstances. Finally, HTTP/1.1 provides no explicit mechanism by which a client may request a digest. This document proposes HTTP extensions that solve these problems.

This document describes Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), an application-layer control (signaling) protocol for creating, modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more participants.These sessions include Internet telephone calls, multimedia distribution, and multimedia conferences.

SIP invitations used to create sessions carry session descriptions that allow participants to agree on a set of compatible media types.SIP makes use of elements called proxy servers to help route requests to the user's current location, authenticate and authorize users for services, implement provider call-routing policies, and provide features to users. SIP also provides a registration function that allows users to upload their current locations for use by proxy servers. SIP runs on top of several different transport protocols.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3274
This document defines a format for using compressed data as aCryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) content type. Compressing data before transmission provides a number of advantages, including the elimination of data redundancy which could help an attacker, speeding up processing by reducing the amount of data to be processed by later steps (such as signing or encryption), and reducing overall message size. Although there have been proposals for adding compression at other levels (for example at the MIME or SSL level), these don't address the problem of compression of CMS content unless the compression is supplied by an external means (for example by intermixing MIME and CMS).

RFC 3307 Allocation Guidelines for IPv6 Multicast Addresses
 
Authors:B. Haberman.
Date:August 2002
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3307
This document specifies guidelines that must be implemented by any entity responsible for allocating IPv6 multicast addresses. This includes, but is not limited to, any documents or entities wishing to assign permanent IPv6 multicast addresses, allocate dynamic IPv6 multicast addresses, and define permanent IPv6 multicast group identifiers. The purpose of these guidelines is to reduce the probability of IPv6 multicast address collision, not only at the IPv6 layer, but also at the link-layer of media that encode portions of the IP layer address into the MAC layer address.
 
RFC 3308 Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) Differentiated Services Extension
 
Authors:P. Calhoun, W. Luo, D. McPherson, K. Peirce.
Date:November 2002
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3308
This document describes mechanisms which enable the Layer TwoTunneling Protocol (L2TP) to negotiate desired Per Hop Behavior (PHB) code for the L2TP control connection, as well as individual sessions within an L2TP tunnel.

L2TP provides a standard method for tunneling PPP packets. The current specification provides no provisions for supportingDifferentiated Services (diffserv) over the L2TP control connection or subsequent data sessions. As a result, no standard mechanism currently exists within L2TP to provide L2TP protocol negotiations for service discrimination.

RFC 3311 The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) UPDATE Method
 
Authors:J. Rosenberg.
Date:October 2002
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3311
This specification defines the new UPDATE method for the SessionInitiation Protocol (SIP). UPDATE allows a client to update parameters of a session (such as the set of media streams and their codecs) but has no impact on the state of a dialog. In that sense, it is like a re-INVITE, but unlike re-INVITE, it can be sent before the initial INVITE has been completed. This makes it very useful for updating session parameters within early dialogs.
 
RFC 3312 Integration of Resource Management and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3312
This document defines a generic framework for preconditions, which are extensible through IANA registration. This document also discusses how network quality of service can be made a precondition for establishment of sessions initiated by the Session InitiationProtocol (SIP). These preconditions require that the participant reserve network resources before continuing with the session. We do not define new quality of service reservation mechanisms; these preconditions simply require a participant to use existing resource reservation mechanisms before beginning the session.

For creating services, it is often useful to know why a SessionInitiation Protocol (SIP) request was issued. This document defines a header field, Reason, that provides this information. The Reason header field is also intended to be used to encapsulate a final status code in a provisional response. This functionality is needed to resolve the "Heterogeneous Error Response Forking Problem", orHERFP.
 
RFC 3327 Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Extension Header Field for Registering Non-Adjacent Contacts
 
Authors:D. Willis, B. Hoeneisen.
Date:December 2002
Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 5626
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3327
The REGISTER function is used in a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) system primarily to associate a temporary contact address with an address-of-record. This contact is generally in the form of aUniform Resource Identifier (URI), such as Contact:<sip:alice@pc33.atlanta.com&rt; and is generally dynamic and associated with the IP address or hostname of the SIP User Agent (UA). The problem is that network topology may have one or more SIP proxies between the UA and the registrar, such that any request traveling from the user's home network to the registered UA must traverse these proxies. The REGISTER method does not give us a mechanism to discover and record this sequence of proxies in the registrar for future use. This document defines an extension header field, "Path" which provides such a mechanism.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3344
This document specifies protocol enhancements that allow transparent routing of IP datagrams to mobile nodes in the Internet. Each mobile node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While situated away from its home, a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which provides information about its current point of attachment to the Internet. The protocol provides for registering the care-of address with a home agent. The home agent sends datagrams destined for the mobile node through a tunnel to the care- of address. After arriving at the end of the tunnel, each datagram is then delivered to the mobile node.

RFC 3367 Common Name Resolution Protocol (CNRP)
 
Authors:N. Popp, M. Mealling, M. Moseley.
Date:August 2002
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3367
People often refer to things in the real world by a common name or phrase, e.g., a trade name, company name, or a book title. These names are sometimes easier for people to remember and type than URLs.Furthermore, because of the limited syntax of URLs, companies and individuals are finding that the ones that might be most reasonable for their resources are being used elsewhere and so are unavailable.For the purposes of this document, a "common name" is a word or a phrase, without imposed syntactic structure, that may be associated with a resource.

This effort is about the creation of a protocol for client applications to communicate with common name resolution services, as exemplified in both the browser enhancement and search site paradigms. Although the protocol's primary function is resolution, it is also intended to address issues of internationalization and localization. Name resolution services are not generic search services and thus do not need to provide complex Boolean query, relevance ranking or similar capabilities. The protocol is a simple, minimal interoperable core. Mechanisms for extension are provided, so that additional capabilities can be added.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3368
This document defines a URI scheme, 'go:' to be used with the CommonName Resolution Protocol. Specifically it lays out the syntactic components and how those components are used by URI Resolution to find the available transports for a CNRP service. Care should be taken with several of the URI components because, while they may look like components found in other URI schemes, they often do not act like them. The "go" scheme has more in common with the location independent "news" scheme than any other URI scheme.

This document specifies Version 3 of the Internet Group ManagementProtocol, IGMPv3. IGMP is the protocol used by IPv4 systems to report their IP multicast group memberships to neighboring multicast routers. Version 3 of IGMP adds support for "source filtering", that is, the ability for a system to report interest in receiving packets*only* from specific source addresses, or from *all but* specific source addresses, sent to a particular multicast address. That information may be used by multicast routing protocols to avoid delivering multicast packets from specific sources to networks where there are no interested receivers.

Date:October 2002
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3407
This document defines a set of Session Description Protocol (SDP) attributes that enables SDP to provide a minimal and backwards compatible capability declaration mechanism. Such capability declarations can be used as input to a subsequent session negotiation, which is done by means outside the scope of this document. This provides a simple and limited solution to the general capability negotiation problem being addressed by the next generation of SDP, also known as SDPng.
 
RFC 3408 Zero-byte Support for Bidirectional Reliable Mode (R-mode) in Extended Link-Layer Assisted RObust Header Compression (ROHC) Profile
 
Authors:Z. Liu, K. Le.
Date:December 2002
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3408
This document defines an additional mode of the link-layer assistedRObust Header Compression (ROHC) profile, also known as the zero-byte profile, beyond the two defined in RFC 3242. Zero-byte header compression exists in order to prevent the single-octet ROHC header from pushing a packet voice stream into the next higher fixed packet size for the radio. It is usable in certain widely deployed older air interfaces. This document adds the zero-byte operation for ROHCBidirectional Reliable mode (R-mode) to the ones specified forUnidirectional (U-mode) and Bidirectional Optimistic (O-mode) modes of header compression in RFC 3242.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3420
This document registers the message/sipfrag Multipurpose InternetMail Extensions (MIME) media type. This type is similar to message/sip, but allows certain subsets of well formed SessionInitiation Protocol (SIP) messages to be represented instead of requiring a complete SIP message. In addition to end-to-end security uses, message/sipfrag is used with the REFER method to convey information about the status of a referenced request.
 
RFC 3425 Obsoleting IQUERY
 
Authors:D. Lawrence.
Date:November 2002
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 1035
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3425
The IQUERY method of performing inverse DNS lookups, specified in RFC1035, has not been generally implemented and has usually been operationally disabled where it has been implemented. Both reflect a general view in the community that the concept was unwise and that the widely-used alternate approach of using pointer (PTR) queries and reverse-mapping records is preferable. Consequently, this document deprecates the IQUERY operation, declaring it entirely obsolete.This document updates RFC 1035.
 
RFC 3428 Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Extension for Instant Messaging
 
Authors:B. Campbell, Ed., J. Rosenberg, H. Schulzrinne, C. Huitema, D. Gurle.
Date:December 2002
Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 8591
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3428
Instant Messaging (IM) refers to the transfer of messages between users in near real-time. These messages are usually, but not required to be, short. IMs are often used in a conversational mode, that is, the transfer of messages back and forth is fast enough for participants to maintain an interactive conversation.

This document proposes the MESSAGE method, an extension to theSession Initiation Protocol (SIP) that allows the transfer of InstantMessages. Since the MESSAGE request is an extension to SIP, it inherits all the request routing and security features of that protocol. MESSAGE requests carry the content in the form of MIME body parts. MESSAGE requests do not themselves initiate a SIP dialog; under normal usage each Instant Message stands alone, much like pager messages. MESSAGE requests may be sent in the context of a dialog initiated by some other SIP request.

RFC 3432 Network performance measurement with periodic streams
 
Authors:V. Raisanen, G. Grotefeld, A. Morton.
Date:November 2002
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3432
This memo describes a periodic sampling method and relevant metrics for assessing the performance of IP networks. First, the memo motivates periodic sampling and addresses the question of its value as an alternative to the Poisson sampling described in RFC 2330. The benefits include applicability to active and passive measurements, simulation of constant bit rate (CBR) traffic (typical of multimedia communication, or nearly CBR, as found with voice activity detection), and several instances in which analysis can be simplified. The sampling method avoids predictability by mandating random start times and finite length tests. Following descriptions of the sampling method and sample metric parameters, measurement methods and errors are discussed. Finally, we give additional information on periodic measurements, including security considerations.

Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 8996
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3436
This document describes the usage of the Transport Layer Security(TLS) protocol, as defined in RFC 2246, over the Stream ControlTransmission Protocol (SCTP), as defined in RFC 2960 and RFC 3309.

The user of TLS can take advantage of the features provided by SCTP, namely the support of multiple streams to avoid head of line blocking and the support of multi-homing to provide network level fault tolerance.

Additionally, discussions of extensions of SCTP are also supported, meaning especially the support of dynamic reconfiguration of IP- addresses.

 
RFC 3437 Layer-Two Tunneling Protocol Extensions for PPP Link Control Protocol Negotiation
 
Authors:W. Palter, W. Townsley.
Date:December 2002
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3437
This document defines extensions to the Layer Two Tunneling Protocol(L2TP) for enhanced support of link-specific Point to Point Protocol(PPP) options. PPP endpoints typically have direct access to the common physical media connecting them and thus have detailed knowledge about the media that is in use. When the L2TP is used, the two PPP peers are no longer directly connected over the same physical media. Instead, L2TP inserts a virtual connection over some or all of the PPP connection by tunneling PPP frames over a packet switched network such as IP. Under some conditions, an L2TP endpoint may need to negotiate PPP Link Control Protocol (LCP) options at a location which may not have access to all of the media information necessary for proper participation in the LCP negotiation. This document provides a mechanism for communicating desired LCP options betweenL2TP endpoints in advance of PPP LCP negotiation at the far end of anL2TP tunnel, as well as a mechanism for communicating the negotiatedLCP options back to where the native PPP link resides.

Updated by:RFC 5462
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3443
This document describes Time To Live (TTL) processing in hierarchicalMulti-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks and is motivated by the need to formalize a TTL-transparent mode of operation for an MPLS label-switched path. It updates RFC 3032, "MPLS Label StackEncoding". TTL processing in both Pipe and Uniform Model hierarchical tunnels are specified with examples for both "push" and"pop" cases. The document also complements RFC 3270, "MPLS Support of Differentiated Services" and ties together the terminology introduced in that document with TTL processing in hierarchical MPLS networks.
 
RFC 3445 Limiting the Scope of the KEY Resource Record (RR)
 
Authors:D. Massey, S. Rose.
Date:December 2002
Formats:txt html json
Obsoleted by:RFC 4033, RFC 4034, RFC 4035
Updates:RFC 2535
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3445
This document limits the Domain Name System (DNS) KEY Resource Record(RR) to only keys used by the Domain Name System Security Extensions(DNSSEC). The original KEY RR used sub-typing to store both DNSSEC keys and arbitrary application keys. Storing both DNSSEC and application keys with the same record type is a mistake. This document removes application keys from the KEY record by redefining the Protocol Octet field in the KEY RR Data. As a result of removing application keys, all but one of the flags in the KEY record become unnecessary and are redefined. Three existing application key sub- types are changed to reserved, but the format of the KEY record is not changed. This document updates RFC 2535.

Obsoleted by:RFC 7564
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3454
This document describes a framework for preparing Unicode text strings in order to increase the likelihood that string input and string comparison work in ways that make sense for typical users throughout the world. The stringprep protocol is useful for protocol identifier values, company and personal names, internationalized domain names, and other text strings.

This document does not specify how protocols should prepare text strings. Protocols must create profiles of stringprep in order to fully specify the processing options.

 
RFC 3456 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv4) Configuration of IPsec Tunnel Mode
 
Authors:B. Patel, B. Aboba, S. Kelly, V. Gupta.
Date:January 2003
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3456
This memo explores the requirements for host configuration in IPsec tunnel mode, and describes how the Dynamic Host ConfigurationProtocol (DHCPv4) may be leveraged for configuration. In many remote access scenarios, a mechanism for making the remote host appear to be present on the local corporate network is quite useful. This may be accomplished by assigning the host a "virtual" address from the corporate network, and then tunneling traffic via IPsec from the host's ISP-assigned address to the corporate security gateway. InIPv4, DHCP provides for such remote host configuration.

Date:January 2003
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 3204
Updated by:RFC 5621
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3459
This document describes the use of a mechanism for identifying body parts that a sender deems critical in a multi-part Internet mail message. The mechanism described is a parameter to Content-Disposition, as described by RFC 3204.

By knowing what parts of a message the sender deems critical, a content gateway can intelligently handle multi-part messages when providing gateway services to systems of lesser capability. Critical content can help a content gateway to decide what parts to forward.It can indicate how hard a gateway should try to deliver a body part.It can help the gateway to pick body parts that are safe to silently delete when a system of lesser capability receives a message. In addition, critical content can help the gateway chose the notification strategy for the receiving system. Likewise, if the sender expects the destination to do some processing on a body part, critical content allows the sender to mark body parts that the receiver must process.

 
RFC 3460 Policy Core Information Model (PCIM) Extensions
 
Authors:B. Moore, Ed..
Date:January 2003
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 3060
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3460
This document specifies a number of changes to the Policy CoreInformation Model (PCIM, RFC 3060). Two types of changes are included. First, several completely new elements are introduced, for example, classes for header filtering, that extend PCIM into areas that it did not previously cover. Second, there are cases where elements of PCIM (for example, policy rule priorities) are deprecated, and replacement elements are defined (in this case, priorities tied to associations that refer to policy rules). Both types of changes are done in such a way that, to the extent possible, interoperability with implementations of the original PCIM model is preserved. This document updates RFC 3060.

RFC 3478 Graceful Restart Mechanism for Label Distribution Protocol
 
Authors:M. Leelanivas, Y. Rekhter, R. Aggarwal.
Date:February 2003
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3478
This document describes a mechanism that helps to minimize the negative effects on MPLS traffic caused by Label Switching Router's(LSR's) control plane restart, specifically by the restart of itsLabel Distribution Protocol (LDP) component, on LSRs that are capable of preserving the MPLS forwarding component across the restart.

The mechanism described in this document is applicable to all LSRs, both those with the ability to preserve forwarding state during LDP restart and those without (although the latter needs to implement only a subset of the mechanism described in this document).Supporting (a subset of) the mechanism described here by the LSRs that can not preserve their MPLS forwarding state across the restart would not reduce the negative impact on MPLS traffic caused by their control plane restart, but it would minimize the impact if their neighbor(s) are capable of preserving the forwarding state across the restart of their control plane and implement the mechanism described here.

The mechanism makes minimalistic assumptions on what has to be preserved across restart - the mechanism assumes that only the actualMPLS forwarding state has to be preserved; the mechanism does not require any of the LDP-related states to be preserved across the restart.

The procedures described in this document apply to downstream unsolicited label distribution. Extending these procedures to downstream on demand label distribution is for further study.

 
RFC 3479 Fault Tolerance for the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)
 
Authors:A. Farrel, Ed..
Date:February 2003
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3479
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) systems will be used in core networks where system downtime must be kept to an absolute minimum.Many MPLS Label Switching Routers (LSRs) may, therefore, exploitFault Tolerant (FT) hardware or software to provide high availability of the core networks.

The details of how FT is achieved for the various components of an FTLSR, including Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), the switching hardware and TCP, are implementation specific. This document identifies issues in the LDP specification in RFC 3036, "LDPSpecification", that make it difficult to implement an FT LSR using the current LDP protocols, and defines enhancements to the LDP specification to ease such FT LSR implementations.

The issues and extensions described here are equally applicable toRFC 3212, "Constraint-Based LSP Setup Using LDP" (CR-LDP).

RFC 3484 Default Address Selection for Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)
 
Authors:R. Draves.
Date:February 2003
Formats:txt html json
Obsoleted by:RFC 6724
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3484
This document describes two algorithms, for source address selection and for destination address selection. The algorithms specify default behavior for all Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) implementations. They do not override choices made by applications or upper-layer protocols, nor do they preclude the development of more advanced mechanisms for address selection. The two algorithms share a common context, including an optional mechanism for allowing administrators to provide policy that can override the default behavior. In dual stack implementations, the destination address selection algorithm can consider both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses - depending on the available source addresses, the algorithm might prefer IPv6 addresses over IPv4 addresses, or vice-versa.

All IPv6 nodes, including both hosts and routers, must implement default address selection as defined in this specification.

Obsoleted by:RFC 5890, RFC 5891
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3490
Until now, there has been no standard method for domain names to use characters outside the ASCII repertoire. This document defines internationalized domain names (IDNs) and a mechanism calledInternationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) for handling them in a standard fashion. IDNs use characters drawn from a large repertoire (Unicode), but IDNA allows the non-ASCII characters to be represented using only the ASCII characters already allowed in so- called host names today. This backward-compatible representation is required in existing protocols like DNS, so that IDNs can be introduced with no changes to the existing infrastructure. IDNA is only meant for processing domain names, not free text.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3492
Punycode is a simple and efficient transfer encoding syntax designed for use with Internationalized Domain Names in Applications (IDNA).It uniquely and reversibly transforms a Unicode string into an ASCII string. ASCII characters in the Unicode string are represented literally, and non-ASCII characters are represented by ASCII characters that are allowed in host name labels (letters, digits, and hyphens). This document defines a general algorithm calledBootstring that allows a string of basic code points to uniquely represent any string of code points drawn from a larger set.Punycode is an instance of Bootstring that uses particular parameter values specified by this document, appropriate for IDNA.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3501
The Internet Message Access Protocol, Version 4rev1 (IMAP4rev1) allows a client to access and manipulate electronic mail messages on a server. IMAP4rev1 permits manipulation of mailboxes (remote message folders) in a way that is functionally equivalent to local folders. IMAP4rev1 also provides the capability for an offline client to resynchronize with the server.

IMAP4rev1 includes operations for creating, deleting, and renaming mailboxes, checking for new messages, permanently removing messages, setting and clearing flags, RFC 2822 and RFC 2045 parsing, searching, and selective fetching of message attributes, texts, and portions thereof. Messages in IMAP4rev1 are accessed by the use of numbers.These numbers are either message sequence numbers or unique identifiers.

IMAP4rev1 supports a single server. A mechanism for accessing configuration information to support multiple IMAP4rev1 servers is discussed in RFC 2244.

IMAP4rev1 does not specify a means of posting mail; this function is handled by a mail transfer protocol such as RFC 2821.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3520
This document describes the representation of a session authorization policy element for supporting policy-based per-session authorization and admission control. The goal of session authorization is to allow the exchange of information between network elements in order to authorize the use of resources for a service and to co-ordinate actions between the signaling and transport planes. This document describes how a process on a system authorizes the reservation of resources by a host and then provides that host with a session authorization policy element which can be inserted into a resource reservation protocol (e.g., the Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP)PATH message) to facilitate proper and secure reservation of those resources within the network. We describe the encoding of session authorization information as a policy element conforming to the format of a Policy Data object (RFC 2750) and provide details relating to operations, processing rules and error scenarios.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3527
This document describes the link selection sub-option of the relay- agent-information option for the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol(DHCPv4). The giaddr specifies an IP address which determines both a subnet, and thereby a link on which a Dynamic Host ConfigurationProtocol (DHCP) client resides as well as an IP address that can be used to communicate with the relay agent. The subnet-selection option allows the functions of the giaddr to be split so that when one entity is performing as a DHCP proxy, it can specify the subnet/link from which to allocate an IP address, which is different from the IP address with which it desires to communicate with theDHCP server. Analogous situations exist where the relay agent needs to specify the subnet/link on which a DHCP client resides, which is different from an IP address that can be used to communicate with the relay agent.

Date:July 2003
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3545
This document describes a header compression scheme for point to point links with packet loss and long delays. It is based onCompressed Real-time Transport Protocol (CRTP), the IP/UDP/RTP header compression described in RFC 2508. CRTP does not perform well on such links: packet loss results in context corruption and due to the long delay, many more packets are discarded before the context is repaired. To correct the behavior of CRTP over such links, a few extensions to the protocol are specified here. The extensions aim to reduce context corruption by changing the way the compressor updates the context at the decompressor: updates are repeated and include updates to full and differential context parameters. With these extensions, CRTP performs well over links with packet loss, packet reordering and long delays.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3566
A Message Authentication Code (MAC) is a key-dependent one way hash function. One popular way to construct a MAC algorithm is to use a block cipher in conjunction with the Cipher-Block-Chaining (CBC) mode of operation. The classic CBC-MAC algorithm, while secure for messages of a pre-selected fixed length, has been shown to be insecure across messages of varying lengths such as the type found in typical IP datagrams. This memo specifies the use of AES in CBC mode with a set of extensions to overcome this limitation. This new algorithm is named AES-XCBC-MAC-96.
 
RFC 3573 Signalling of Modem-On-Hold status in Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)
 
Authors:I. Goyret.
Date:July 2003
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3573
The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) defines a mechanism for tunneling Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) sessions. It is common for these PPP sessions to be established using modems connected over the public switched telephone network.

One of the standards governing modem operation defines procedures that enable a client modem to put the call on hold and later, re- establish the modem link with minimal delay and without having to redial. While the modem call is on hold, the client phone line can be used to place or receive other calls.

The L2TP base protocol does not provide any means to signal these events from the L2TP Access Controller (LAC), where the modem is physically connected, to the L2TP Network Server (LNS), where the PPP session is handled.

This document describes a method to let the LNS know when a client modem connected to a LAC has placed the call on hold.

RFC 3581 An Extension to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for Symmetric Response Routing
 
Authors:J. Rosenberg, H. Schulzrinne.
Date:August 2003
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3581
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) operates over UDP and TCP, among others. When used with UDP, responses to requests are returned to the source address the request came from, and to the port written into the topmost Via header field value of the request. This behavior is not desirable in many cases, most notably, when the client is behind a Network Address Translator (NAT). This extension defines a new parameter for the Via header field, called "rport", that allows a client to request that the server send the response back to the source IP address and port from which the request originated.

Authors:J. Jason, L. Rafalow, E. Vyncke.
Date:August 2003
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3585
This document presents an object-oriented information model of IPSecurity (IPsec) policy designed to facilitate agreement about the content and semantics of IPsec policy, and enable derivations of task-specific representations of IPsec policy such as storage schema, distribution representations, and policy specification languages used to configure IPsec-enabled endpoints. The information model described in this document models the configuration parameters defined by IPSec. The information model also covers the parameters found by the Internet Key Exchange protocol (IKE). Other key exchange protocols could easily be added to the information model by a simple extension. Further extensions can further be added easily due to the object-oriented nature of the model.

This information model is based upon the core policy classes as defined in the Policy Core Information Model (PCIM) and in the PolicyCore Information Model Extensions (PCIMe).

RFC 3605 Real Time Control Protocol (RTCP) attribute in Session Description Protocol (SDP)
 
Authors:C. Huitema.
Date:October 2003
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3605
The Session Description Protocol (SDP) is used to describe the parameters of media streams used in multimedia sessions. When a session requires multiple ports, SDP assumes that these ports have consecutive numbers. However, when the session crosses a network address translation device that also uses port mapping, the ordering of ports can be destroyed by the translation. To handle this, we propose an extension attribute to SDP.

RFC 3623 Graceful OSPF Restart
 
Authors:J. Moy, P. Pillay-Esnault, A. Lindem.
Date:November 2003
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3623
This memo documents an enhancement to the OSPF routing protocol, whereby an OSPF router can stay on the forwarding path even as itsOSPF software is restarted. This is called "graceful restart" or"non-stop forwarding". A restarting router may not be capable of adjusting its forwarding in a timely manner when the network topology changes. In order to avoid the possible resulting routing loops, the procedure in this memo automatically reverts to a normal OSPF restart when such a topology change is detected, or when one or more of the restarting router's neighbors do not support the enhancements in this memo. Proper network operation during a graceful restart makes assumptions upon the operating environment of the restarting router; these assumptions are also documented.

RFC 3670 Information Model for Describing Network Device QoS Datapath Mechanisms
 
Authors:B. Moore, D. Durham, J. Strassner, A. Westerinen, W. Weiss.
Date:January 2004
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3670
The purpose of this document is to define an information model to describe the quality of service (QoS) mechanisms inherent in different network devices, including hosts. Broadly speaking, these mechanisms describe the properties common to selecting and conditioning traffic through the forwarding path (datapath) of a network device. This selection and conditioning of traffic in the datapath spans both major QoS architectures: Differentiated Services and Integrated Services.

This document should be used with the QoS Policy Information Model(QPIM) to model how policies can be defined to manage and configure the QoS mechanisms (i.e., the classification, marking, metering, dropping, queuing, and scheduling functionality) of devices.Together, these two documents describe how to write QoS policy rules to configure and manage the QoS mechanisms present in the datapaths of devices.

This document, as well as QPIM, are information models. That is, they represent information independent of a binding to a specific type of repository.

RFC 3676 The Text/Plain Format and DelSp Parameters
 
Authors:R. Gellens.
Date:February 2004
Formats:txt json html
Obsoletes:RFC 2646
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3676
This specification establishes two parameters (Format and DelSP) to be used with the Text/Plain media type. In the presence of these parameters, trailing whitespace is used to indicate flowed lines and a canonical quote indicator is used to indicate quoted lines. This results in an encoding which appears as normal Text/Plain in older implementations, since it is in fact normal Text/Plain, yet provides for superior wrapping/flowing, and quoting.

This document supersedes the one specified in RFC 2646, "TheText/Plain Format Parameter", and adds the DelSp parameter to accommodate languages/coded character sets in which ASCII spaces are not used or appear rarely.

Date:February 2004
Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 4104
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3703
This document defines a mapping of the Policy Core Information Model to a form that can be implemented in a directory that usesLightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) as its access protocol.This model defines two hierarchies of object classes: structural classes representing information for representing and controlling policy data as specified in RFC 3060, and relationship classes that indicate how instances of the structural classes are related to each other. Classes are also added to the LDAP schema to improve the performance of a client's interactions with an LDAP server when the client is retrieving large amounts of policy-related information.These classes exist only to optimize LDAP retrievals: there are no classes in the information model that correspond to them.

Obsoleted by:RFC 7143
Updated by:RFC 3980, RFC 4850, RFC 5048, RFC 7146
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3720
This document describes a transport protocol for Internet SmallComputer Systems Interface (iSCSI) that works on top of TCP. The iSCSI protocol aims to be fully compliant with the standardized SCSI architecture model.

SCSI is a popular family of protocols that enable systems to communicate with I/O devices, especially storage devices. SCSI protocols are request/response application protocols with a common standardized architecture model and basic command set, as well as standardized command sets for different device classes (disks, tapes, media-changers etc.).

As system interconnects move from the classical bus structure to a network structure, SCSI has to be mapped to network transport protocols. IP networks now meet the performance requirements of fast system interconnects and as such are good candidates to "carry" SCSI.

Updated by:RFC 3757, RFC 3845
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3755
As the DNS Security (DNSSEC) specifications have evolved, the syntax and semantics of the DNSSEC resource records (RRs) have changed.Many deployed nameservers understand variants of these semantics.Dangerous interactions can occur when a resolver that understands an earlier version of these semantics queries an authoritative server that understands the new delegation signer semantics, including at least one failure scenario that will cause an unsecured zone to be unresolvable. This document changes the type codes and mnemonics of the DNSSEC RRs (SIG, KEY, and NXT) to avoid those interactions.
 
RFC 3757 Domain Name System KEY (DNSKEY) Resource Record (RR) Secure Entry Point (SEP) Flag

Updates:RFC 3755, RFC 2535
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3757
With the Delegation Signer (DS) resource record (RR), the concept of a public key acting as a secure entry point (SEP) has been introduced. During exchanges of public keys with the parent there is a need to differentiate SEP keys from other public keys in the DomainName System KEY (DNSKEY) resource record set. A flag bit in theDNSKEY RR is defined to indicate that DNSKEY is to be used as a SEP.The flag bit is intended to assist in operational procedures to correctly generate DS resource records, or to indicate what DNSKEYs are intended for static configuration. The flag bit is not to be used in the DNS verification protocol. This document updates RFC2535 and RFC 3755.

Date:June 2004
Formats:txt json html
Obsoleted by:RFC 6275
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3775
This document specifies a protocol which allows nodes to remain reachable while moving around in the IPv6 Internet. Each mobile node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While situated away from its home, a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which provides information about the mobile node's current location. IPv6 packets addressed to a mobile node's home address are transparently routed to its care-of address. The protocol enables IPv6 nodes to cache the binding of a mobile node's home address with its care-of address, and to then send any packets destined for the mobile node directly to it at this care-of address. To support this operation,Mobile IPv6 defines a new IPv6 protocol and a new destination option.All IPv6 nodes, whether mobile or stationary, can communicate with mobile nodes.

The purpose of this document is to advance NewReno TCP's FastRetransmit and Fast Recovery algorithms in RFC 2582 from Experimental to Standards Track status.

The main change in this document relative to RFC 2582 is to specify the Careful variant of NewReno's Fast Retransmit and Fast Recovery algorithms. The base algorithm described in RFC 2582 did not attempt to avoid unnecessary multiple Fast Retransmits that can occur after a timeout. However, RFC 2582 also defined "Careful" and "Less Careful" variants that avoid these unnecessary Fast Retransmits, and recommended the Careful variant. This document specifies the previously-named "Careful" variant as the basic version of NewRenoTCP.

RFC 3843 RObust Header Compression (ROHC): A Compression Profile for IP
 
Authors:L-E. Jonsson, G. Pelletier.
Date:June 2004
Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 4815
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3843
The original RObust Header Compression (ROHC) RFC (RFC 3095) defines a framework for header compression, along with compression protocols(profiles) for IP/UDP/RTP, IP/ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload),IP/UDP, and also a profile for uncompressed packet streams.

RFC 3846 Mobile IPv4 Extension for Carrying Network Access Identifiers
 
Authors:F. Johansson, T. Johansson.
Date:June 2004
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3846
When a mobile node moves between two foreign networks, it has to be re-authenticated. If the home network has both multipleAuthentication Authorization and Accounting (AAA) servers and HomeAgents (HAs) in use, the Home AAA server may not have sufficient information to process the re-authentication correctly (i.e., to ensure that the same HA continues to be used). This document defines a Mobile IP extension that carries identities for the Home AAA and HA servers in the form of Network Access Identifiers (NAIs). The extension allows a Home Agent to pass its identity (and that of theHome AAA server) to the mobile node, which can then pass it on to the local AAA server when changing its point of attachment. This extension may also be used in other situations requiring communication of a NAI between Mobile IP nodes.

RFC 3856 A Presence Event Package for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
 
Authors:J. Rosenberg.
Date:August 2004
Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 8996
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3856
This document describes the usage of the Session Initiation Protocol(SIP) for subscriptions and notifications of presence. Presence is defined as the willingness and ability of a user to communicate with other users on the network. Historically, presence has been limited to "on-line" and "off-line" indicators; the notion of presence here is broader. Subscriptions and notifications of presence are supported by defining an event package within the general SIP event notification framework. This protocol is also compliant with theCommon Presence Profile (CPP) framework.
 
RFC 3857 A Watcher Information Event Template-Package for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
 
Authors:J. Rosenberg.
Date:August 2004
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3857
This document defines the watcher information template-package for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) event framework. Watcher information refers to the set of users subscribed to a particular resource within a particular event package. Watcher information changes dynamically as users subscribe, unsubscribe, are approved, or are rejected. A user can subscribe to this information, and therefore learn about changes to it. This event package is a template-package because it can be applied to any event package, including itself.
 
RFC 3858 An Extensible Markup Language (XML) Based Format for Watcher Information
 
Authors:J. Rosenberg.
Date:August 2004
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3858
Watchers are defined as entities that request (i.e., subscribe to) information about a resource. There is fairly complex state associated with these subscriptions. The union of the state for all subscriptions to a particular resource is called the watcher information for that resource. This state is dynamic, changing as subscribers come and go. As a result, it is possible, and indeed useful, to subscribe to the watcher information for a particular resource. In order to enable this, a format is needed to describe the state of watchers on a resource. This specification describes anExtensible Markup Language (XML) document format for such state.

RFC 3883 Detecting Inactive Neighbors over OSPF Demand Circuits (DC)
 
Authors:S. Rao, A. Zinin, A. Roy.
Date:October 2004
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 1793
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3883
OSPF is a link-state intra-domain routing protocol used in IP networks. OSPF behavior over demand circuits (DC) is optimized inRFC 1793 to minimize the amount of overhead traffic. A part of theOSPF demand circuit extensions is the Hello suppression mechanism.This technique allows a demand circuit to go down when no interesting traffic is going through the link. However, it also introduces a problem, where it becomes impossible to detect an OSPF-inactive neighbor over such a link. This memo introduces a new mechanism called "neighbor probing" to address the above problem.

RFC 3886 An Extensible Message Format for Message Tracking Responses
 
Authors:E. Allman.
Date:September 2004
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 3463
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3886
Message Tracking is expected to be used to determine the status of undelivered e-mail upon request. Tracking is used in conjunction with Delivery Status Notifications (DSN) and Message DispositionNotifications (MDN); generally, a message tracking request will be issued only when a DSN or MDN has not been received within a reasonable timeout period.

This memo defines a MIME content-type for message tracking status in the same spirit as RFC 3464, "An Extensible Message Format forDelivery Status Notifications". It is to be issued upon a request as described in "Message Tracking Query Protocol". This memo defines only the format of the status information. An extension to SMTP to label messages for further tracking and request tracking status is defined in a separate memo.

RFC 3890 A Transport Independent Bandwidth Modifier for the Session Description Protocol (SDP)
 
Authors:M. Westerlund.
Date:September 2004
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3890
This document defines a Session Description Protocol (SDP) TransportIndependent Application Specific Maximum (TIAS) bandwidth modifier that does not include transport overhead; instead an additional packet rate attribute is defined. The transport independent bit-rate value together with the maximum packet rate can then be used to calculate the real bit-rate over the transport actually used.

The existing SDP bandwidth modifiers and their values include the bandwidth needed for the transport and IP layers. When using SDP with protocols like the Session Announcement Protocol (SAP), theSession Initiation Protocol (SIP), and the Real-Time StreamingProtocol (RTSP), and when the involved hosts has different transport overhead, for example due to different IP versions, the interpretation of what lower layer bandwidths are included is not clear.

RFC 3892 The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Referred-By Mechanism
 
Authors:R. Sparks.
Date:September 2004
Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 8217
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3892
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) REFER method provides a mechanism where one party (the referrer) gives a second party (the referee) an arbitrary URI to reference. If that URI is a SIP URI, the referee will send a SIP request, often an INVITE, to that URI(the refer target). This document extends the REFER method, allowing the referrer to provide information about the REFER request to the refer target using the referee as an intermediary. This information includes the identity of the referrer and the URI to which the referrer referred. The mechanism utilizes S/MIME to help protect this information from a malicious intermediary. This protection is optional, but a recipient may refuse to accept a request unless it is present.
 
RFC 3893 Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Authenticated Identity Body (AIB) Format
 
Authors:J. Peterson.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3893
RFC 3261 introduces the concept of adding an S/MIME body to a SessionInitiation Protocol (SIP) request or response in order to provide reference integrity over its headers. This document provides a more specific mechanism to derive integrity and authentication properties from an 'authenticated identity body', a digitally-signed SIP message, or message fragment. A standard format for such bodies(known as Authenticated Identity Bodies, or AIBs) is given in this document. Some considerations for the processing of AIBs by recipients of SIP messages with such bodies are also given.
 
RFC 3894 Sieve Extension: Copying Without Side Effects
 
Authors:J. Degener.
Date:October 2004
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3894
The Sieve scripting language allows users to control handling and disposal of their incoming e-mail. By default, an e-mail message that is processed by a Sieve script is saved in the owner's "inbox".Actions such as "fileinto" and "redirect" cancel this default behavior.

This document defines a new keyword parameter, ":copy", to be used with the Sieve "fileinto" and "redirect" actions. Adding ":copy" to an action suppresses cancellation of the default "inbox" save. It allows users to add commands to an existing script without changing the meaning of the rest of the script.

RFC 3927 Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Addresses
 
Authors:S. Cheshire, B. Aboba, E. Guttman.
Date:May 2005
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3927
To participate in wide-area IP networking, a host needs to be configured with IP addresses for its interfaces, either manually by the user or automatically from a source on the network such as aDynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. Unfortunately, such address configuration information may not always be available.It is therefore beneficial for a host to be able to depend on a useful subset of IP networking functions even when no address configuration is available. This document describes how a host may automatically configure an interface with an IPv4 address within the169.254/16 prefix that is valid for communication with other devices connected to the same physical (or logical) link.

IPv4 Link-Local addresses are not suitable for communication with devices not directly connected to the same physical (or logical) link, and are only used where stable, routable addresses are not available (such as on ad hoc or isolated networks). This document does not recommend that IPv4 Link-Local addresses and routable addresses be configured simultaneously on the same interface.

RFC 3945 Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Architecture
 
Authors:E. Mannie, Ed..
Date:October 2004
Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 6002
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3945
Future data and transmission networks will consist of elements such as routers, switches, Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) systems, Add-Drop Multiplexors (ADMs), photonic cross-connects(PXCs), optical cross-connects (OXCs), etc. that will use GeneralizedMulti-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) to dynamically provision resources and to provide network survivability using protection and restoration techniques.

This document describes the architecture of GMPLS. GMPLS extendsMPLS to encompass time-division (e.g., SONET/SDH, PDH, G.709), wavelength (lambdas), and spatial switching (e.g., incoming port or fiber to outgoing port or fiber). The focus of GMPLS is on the control plane of these various layers since each of them can use physically diverse data or forwarding planes. The intention is to cover both the signaling and the routing part of that control plane.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 3957
Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) servers, such asRADIUS and DIAMETER, are in use within the Internet today to provide authentication and authorization services for dial-up computers.Mobile IP for IPv4 requires strong authentication between the mobile node and its home agent. When the mobile node shares an AAA SecurityAssociation with its home AAA server, however, it is possible to use that AAA Security Association to create derived Mobility SecurityAssociations between the mobile node and its home agent, and again between the mobile node and the foreign agent currently offering connectivity to the mobile node. This document specifies extensions to Mobile IP registration messages that can be used to createMobility Security Associations between the mobile node and its home agent, and/or between the mobile node and a foreign agent.

Date:March 2005
Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 4581, RFC 4982
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3972
This document describes a method for binding a public signature key to an IPv6 address in the Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND) protocol.Cryptographically Generated Addresses (CGA) are IPv6 addresses for which the interface identifier is generated by computing a cryptographic one-way hash function from a public key and auxiliary parameters. The binding between the public key and the address can be verified by re-computing the hash value and by comparing the hash with the interface identifier. Messages sent from an IPv6 address can be protected by attaching the public key and auxiliary parameters and by signing the message with the corresponding private key. The protection works without a certification authority or any security infrastructure.

The payload format has wide applicability, as it supports applications from simple low bit-rate conversational usage, toInternet video streaming with interleaved transmission, to high bit- rate video-on-demand.
 
RFC 3987 Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs)
 
Authors:M. Duerst, M. Suignard.
Date:January 2005
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3987
This document defines a new protocol element, the InternationalizedResource Identifier (IRI), as a complement to the Uniform ResourceIdentifier (URI). An IRI is a sequence of characters from theUniversal Character Set (Unicode/ISO 10646). A mapping from IRIs toURIs is defined, which means that IRIs can be used instead of URIs, where appropriate, to identify resources.

The approach of defining a new protocol element was chosen instead of extending or changing the definition of URIs. This was done in order to allow a clear distinction and to avoid incompatibilities with existing software. Guidelines are provided for the use and deployment of IRIs in various protocols, formats, and software components that currently deal with URIs.

RFC 4088 Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Scheme for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
 
Authors:D. Black, K. McCloghrie, J. Schoenwaelder.
Date:June 2005
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4088
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and the InternetStandard Management Framework are widely used for the management of communication devices, creating a need to specify SNMP access(including access to SNMP MIB object instances) from non-SNMP management environments. For example, when out-of-band IP management is used via a separate management interface (e.g., for a device that does not support in-band IP access), a uniform way to indicate how to contact the device for management is needed. Uniform ResourceIdentifiers (URIs) fit this need well, as they allow a single text string to indicate a management access communication endpoint for a wide variety of IP-based protocols.

This document defines a URI scheme so that SNMP can be designated as the protocol used for management. The scheme also allows a URI to designate one or more MIB object instances.

 
RFC 4090 Fast Reroute Extensions to RSVP-TE for LSP Tunnels
 
Authors:P. Pan, Ed., G. Swallow, Ed., A. Atlas, Ed..
Date:May 2005
Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 8271, RFC 8537, RFC 8796
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4090
This document defines RSVP-TE extensions to establish backup label- switched path (LSP) tunnels for local repair of LSP tunnels. These mechanisms enable the re-direction of traffic onto backup LSP tunnels in 10s of milliseconds, in the event of a failure.

Two methods are defined here. The one-to-one backup method creates detour LSPs for each protected LSP at each potential point of local repair. The facility backup method creates a bypass tunnel to protect a potential failure point; by taking advantage of MPLS label stacking, this bypass tunnel can protect a set of LSPs that have similar backup constraints. Both methods can be used to protect links and nodes during network failure. The described behavior and extensions to RSVP allow nodes to implement either method or both and to interoperate in a mixed network.

In particular, we define the sdp-anat SIP option-tag. This SIP option-tag ensures that SDP session descriptions that use ANAT are only handled by SIP entities with ANAT support. To justify the need for such a SIP option-tag, we describe what could possibly happen if an ANAT-unaware SIP entity tried to handle media lines grouped with ANAT.
 
RFC 4095 Attaching Meaning to Solicitation Class Keywords
 
Authors:C. Malamud.
Date:May 2005
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4095
This document proposes a mechanism for finding a URI associated with a solicitation class keyword, which is defined in RFC 3865, the NoSoliciting SMTP Service Extension. Solicitation class keywords are simple labels consisting of a domain name that has been reversed, such as "org.example.adv". These solicitation class keywords are inserted in selected header fields or used in the ESMTP service extension, including a new "No-Solicit:" header, which can contain one or more solicitation class keywords inserted by the sender.

This document specifies an application based on the DynamicDelegation Discovery System (DDDS) described in RFC 3401 and related documents. An algorithm is specified to associate a solicitation class keyword with a URI which contains further information about the meaning and usage of that solicitation class keyword. For example, the registrant of the "example.org" domain could use this mechanism to create a URI which contains detailed information about the"org.example.adv" solicitation class keyword.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4141
A message originator sometimes sends content in a form the recipient cannot process or would prefer not to process a form of lower quality than is preferred. Such content needs to be converted to an acceptable form, with the same information or constrained information(e.g., changing from color to black and white). In a store-and- forward environment, it may be convenient to have this conversion performed by an intermediary. This specification integrates twoESMTP extensions and three MIME content header fields, which defines a cooperative service that permits authorized, accountable content form conversion by intermediaries.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4206
To improve scalability of Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching(GMPLS) it may be useful to aggregate Label Switched Paths (LSPs) by creating a hierarchy of such LSPs. A way to create such a hierarchy is by (a) a Label Switching Router (LSR) creating a TrafficEngineering Label Switched Path (TE LSP), (b) the LSR forming a forwarding adjacency (FA) out of that LSP (by advertising this LSP as a Traffic Engineering (TE) link into the same instance of ISIS/OSPF as the one that was used to create the LSP), (c) allowing other LSRs to use FAs for their path computation, and (d) nesting of LSPs originated by other LSRs into that LSP (by using the label stack construct).

This document describes the mechanisms to accomplish this.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 4281
Several MIME type/subtype combinations exist that can contain different media formats. A receiving agent thus needs to examine the details of such media content to determine if the specific elements can be rendered given an available set of codecs. Especially when the end system has limited resources, or the connection to the end system has limited bandwidth, it would be helpful to know from theContent-Type alone if the content can be rendered.

This document adds a new parameter, "codecs", to various type/subtype combinations to allow for unambiguous specification of the codecs indicated by the media formats contained within.

By labeling content with the specific codecs indicated to render the contained media, receiving systems can determine if the codecs are supported by the end system, and if not, can take appropriate action(such as rejecting the content, sending notification of the situation, transcoding the content to a supported type, fetching and installing the required codecs, further inspection to determine if it will be sufficient to support a subset of the indicated codecs, etc.)

DOI:10.17487/RFC 4282
In order to provide roaming services, it is necessary to have a standardized method for identifying users. This document defines the syntax for the Network Access Identifier (NAI), the user identity submitted by the client during network authentication. "Roaming" may be loosely defined as the ability to use any one of multiple InternetService Providers (ISPs), while maintaining a formal, customer-vendor relationship with only one. Examples of where roaming capabilities might be required include ISP "confederations" and ISP-provided corporate network access support. This document is a revised version of RFC 2486, which originally defined NAIs. Enhancements include international character set and privacy support, as well as a number of corrections to the original RFC.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4286
The concept of Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) andMulticast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping requires the ability to identify the location of multicast routers. Since snooping is not standardized, there are many mechanisms in use to identify the multicast routers. However, this can lead to interoperability issues between multicast routers and snooping switches from different vendors.

This document introduces a general mechanism that allows for the discovery of multicast routers. This new mechanism, Multicast RouterDiscovery (MRD), introduces a standardized means of identifying multicast routers without a dependency on particular multicast routing protocols.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 4364
This document describes a method by which a Service Provider may use an IP backbone to provide IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) for its customers. This method uses a "peer model", in which the customers' edge routers (CE routers) send their routes to the Service Provider's edge routers (PE routers); there is no "overlay" visible to the customer's routing algorithm, and CE routers at different sites do not peer with each other. Data packets are tunneled through the backbone, so that the core routers do not need to know the VPN routes.

Updated by:RFC 5991, RFC 6081
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4380
We propose here a service that enables nodes located behind one or more IPv4 Network Address Translations (NATs) to obtain IPv6 connectivity by tunneling packets over UDP; we call this the Teredo service. Running the service requires the help of "Teredo servers" and "Teredo relays". The Teredo servers are stateless, and only have to manage a small fraction of the traffic between Teredo clients; theTeredo relays act as IPv6 routers between the Teredo service and the"native" IPv6 Internet. The relays can also provide interoperability with hosts using other transition mechanisms such as "6to4".

DOI:10.17487/RFC 4420
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) may be established using the Resource Reservation Protocol TrafficEngineering (RSVP-TE) extensions. This protocol includes an object(the SESSION_ATTRIBUTE object) that carries a Flags field used to indicate options and attributes of the LSP. That Flags field has eight bits allowing for eight options to be set. Recent proposals in many documents that extend RSVP-TE have suggested uses for each of the previously unused bits.

This document defines a new object for RSVP-TE messages that allows the signaling of further attribute bits and also the carriage of arbitrary attribute parameters to make RSVP-TE easily extensible to support new requirements. Additionally, this document defines a way to record the attributes applied to the LSP on a hop-by-hop basis.

The object mechanisms defined in this document are equally applicable to Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Packet Switch Capable (PSC) LSPs and toGMPLS non-PSC LSPs.

The Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) is a framework for providing authentication and data security services in connection-oriented protocols via replaceable mechanisms. It provides a structured interface between protocols and mechanisms.The resulting framework allows new protocols to reuse existing mechanisms and allows old protocols to make use of new mechanisms.The framework also provides a protocol for securing subsequent protocol exchanges within a data security layer.

This document describes how a SASL mechanism is structured, describes how protocols include support for SASL, and defines the protocol for carrying a data security layer over a connection. In addition, this document defines one SASL mechanism, the EXTERNAL mechanism.

This document obsoletes RFC 2222.

RFC 4442 Bootstrapping Timed Efficient Stream Loss-Tolerant Authentication (TESLA)
 
Authors:S. Fries, H. Tschofenig.
Date:March 2006
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4442
TESLA, the Timed Efficient Stream Loss-tolerant Authentication protocol, provides source authentication in multicast scenarios.TESLA is an efficient protocol with low communication and computation overhead that scales to large numbers of receivers and also tolerates packet loss. TESLA is based on loose time synchronization between the sender and the receivers. Source authentication is realized inTESLA by using Message Authentication Code (MAC) chaining. The use of TESLA within the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) has been published, targeting multicast authentication in scenarios whereSRTP is applied to protect the multimedia data. This solution assumes that TESLA parameters are made available by out-of-band mechanisms.

This document specifies payloads for the Multimedia Internet Keying(MIKEY) protocol for bootstrapping TESLA for source authentication of secure group communications using SRTP. TESLA may be bootstrapped using one of the MIKEY key management approaches, e.g., by using a digitally signed MIKEY message sent via unicast, multicast, or broadcast.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4550
This document describes a profile (a set of required extensions, restrictions, and usage modes) of the IMAP and mail submission protocols. This profile allows clients (especially those that are constrained in memory, bandwidth, processing power, or other areas) to efficiently use IMAP and Submission to access and submit mail.This includes the ability to forward received mail without needing to download and upload the mail, to optimize submission, and to efficiently resynchronize in case of loss of connectivity with the server.

The Internet Email to Support Diverse Service Environments (Lemonade) profile relies upon extensions to IMAP and Mail Submission protocols; specifically, the URLAUTH and CATENATE IMAP protocol (RFC 3501) extensions and the BURL extension to the SUBMIT protocol (RFC 4409).

 
RFC 4551 IMAP Extension for Conditional STORE Operation or Quick Flag Changes Resynchronization
 
Authors:A. Melnikov, S. Hole.

Formats:txt html json
Obsoleted by:RFC 7162
Updates:RFC 3501
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4551
Often, multiple IMAP (RFC 3501) clients need to coordinate changes to a common IMAP mailbox. Examples include different clients working on behalf of the same user, and multiple users accessing shared mailboxes. These clients need a mechanism to synchronize state changes for messages within the mailbox. They must be able to guarantee that only one client can change message state (e.g., message flags) at any time. An example of such an application is use of an IMAP mailbox as a message queue with multiple dequeueing clients.

The Conditional Store facility provides a protected update mechanism for message state information that can detect and resolve conflicts between multiple writing mail clients.

The Conditional Store facility also allows a client to quickly resynchronize mailbox flag changes.

This document defines an extension to IMAP (RFC 3501).

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4558
Use of Node-ID based Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) Hello messages is implied in a number of cases, e.g., when data and control planes are separated, when TE links are unnumbered. Furthermore, when link level failure detection is performed by some means other than exchanging RSVP Hello messages, use of a Node-ID based Hello session is optimal for detecting signaling adjacency failure forResource reSerVation Protocol-Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE).Nonetheless, this implied behavior is unclear, and this document formalizes use of the Node-ID based RSVP Hello session in some scenarios. The procedure described in this document applies to bothMulti-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) capable nodes.

In the context of MPLS TE Fast Reroute, the Merge Point (MP) address is required at the Point of Local Repair (PLR) in order to select a backup tunnel intersecting a fast reroutable Traffic EngineeringLabel Switched Path (TE LSP) on a downstream Label Switching Router(LSR). However, existing protocol mechanisms are not sufficient to find an MP address in multi-domain routing networks where a domain is defined as an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) area or an AutonomousSystem (AS). Hence, the current MPLS Fast Reroute mechanism cannot be used in order to protect inter-domain TE LSPs from a failure of anArea Border Router (ABR) or Autonomous System Border Router (ASBR).This document specifies the use of existing Record Route Object (RRO)IPv4 and IPv6 sub-objects (with a new flag defined) thus defining the node-id sub-object in order to solve this issue. The MPLS FastReroute mechanism mentioned in this document refers to the "Facility backup" MPLS TE Fast Reroute method.

RFC 4576 Using a Link State Advertisement (LSA) Options Bit to Prevent Looping in BGP/MPLS IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
 
Authors:E. Rosen, P. Psenak, P. Pillay-Esnault.
Date:June 2006
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4576
This document specifies a procedure that deals with a particular issue that may arise when a Service Provider (SP) provides "BGP/MPLSIP VPN" service to a customer and the customer uses OSPFv2 to advertise its routes to the SP. In this situation, a Customer Edge(CE) Router and a Provider Edge (PE) Router are OSPF peers, and customer routes are sent via OSPFv2 from the CE to the PE. The customer routes are converted into BGP routes, and BGP carries them across the backbone to other PE routers. The routes are then converted back to OSPF routes sent via OSPF to other CE routers. As a result of this conversion, some of the information needed to prevent loops may be lost. A procedure is needed to ensure that once a route is sent from a PE to a CE, the route will be ignored by anyPE that receives it back from a CE. This document specifies the necessary procedure, using one of the options bits in the LSA (LinkState Advertisements) to indicate that an LSA has already been forwarded by a PE and should be ignored by any other PEs that see it.
 
RFC 4577 OSPF as the Provider/Customer Edge Protocol for BGP/MPLS IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
 
Authors:E. Rosen, P. Psenak, P. Pillay-Esnault.
Date:June 2006
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 4364
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4577
Many Service Providers offer Virtual Private Network (VPN) services to their customers, using a technique in which customer edge routers(CE routers) are routing peers of provider edge routers (PE routers).The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is used to distribute the customer's routes across the provider's IP backbone network, andMultiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is used to tunnel customer packets across the provider's backbone. This is known as a "BGP/MPLSIP VPN". The base specification for BGP/MPLS IP VPNs presumes that the routing protocol on the interface between a PE router and a CE router is BGP. This document extends that specification by allowing the routing protocol on the PE/CE interface to be the Open ShortestPath First (OSPF) protocol.

This document updates RFC 4364.

RFC 4585 Extended RTP Profile for Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP)-Based Feedback (RTP/AVPF)
 
Authors:J. Ott, S. Wenger, N. Sato, C. Burmeister, J. Rey.
Date:July 2006
Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 5506, RFC 8108
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4585
Real-time media streams that use RTP are, to some degree, resilient against packet losses. Receivers may use the base mechanisms of theReal-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) to report packet reception statistics and thus allow a sender to adapt its transmission behavior in the mid-term. This is the sole means for feedback and feedback-based error repair (besides a few codec- specific mechanisms). This document defines an extension to theAudio-visual Profile (AVP) that enables receivers to provide, statistically, more immediate feedback to the senders and thus allows for short-term adaptation and efficient feedback-based repair mechanisms to be implemented. This early feedback profile (AVPF) maintains the AVP bandwidth constraints for RTCP and preserves scalability to large groups.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4604
The Internet Group Management Protocol Version 3 (IGMPv3) and theMulticast Listener Discovery Protocol Version 2 (MLDv2) are protocols that allow a host to inform its neighboring routers of its desire to receive IPv4 and IPv6 multicast transmissions, respectively.Source-specific multicast (SSM) is a form of multicast in which a receiver is required to specify both the network-layer address of the source and the multicast destination address in order to receive the multicast transmission. This document defines the notion of an"SSM-aware" router and host, and clarifies and (in some cases) modifies the behavior of IGMPv3 and MLDv2 on SSM-aware routers and hosts to accommodate source-specific multicast. This document updates the IGMPv3 and MLDv2 specifications.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4659
This document describes a method by which a Service Provider may use its packet-switched backbone to provide Virtual Private Network (VPN) services for its IPv6 customers. This method reuses, and extends where necessary, the "BGP/MPLS IP VPN" method for support of IPv6.In BGP/MPLS IP VPN, "Multiprotocol BGP" is used for distributing IPv4VPN routes over the service provider backbone, and MPLS is used to forward IPv4 VPN packets over the backbone. This document defines anIPv6 VPN address family and describes the corresponding IPv6 VPN route distribution in "Multiprotocol BGP".

This document defines support of the IPv6 VPN service over both anIPv4 and an IPv6 backbone, and for using various tunneling techniques over the core, including MPLS, IP-in-IP, Generic RoutingEncapsulation (GRE) and IPsec protected tunnels. The inter-working between an IPv4 site and an IPv6 site is outside the scope of this document.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 4661
The SIP event notification framework describes the usage of theSession Initiation Protocol (SIP) for subscriptions and notifications of changes to a state of a resource. The document does not describe a mechanism whereby filtering of event notification information can be achieved. Filtering is a mechanism for defining the preferred notification information to be delivered and for specifying triggers that cause that information to be delivered. In order to enable this, a format is needed to enable the subscriber to describe the state changes of a resource that cause notifications to be sent to it and what those notifications are to contain. This document presents a format in the form of an XML document.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4701
It is possible for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) clients to attempt to update the same DNS Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or to update a DNS FQDN that has been added to the DNS for another purpose as they obtain DHCP leases. Whether the DHCP server or the clients themselves perform the DNS updates, conflicts can arise. To resolve such conflicts, RFC 4703 proposes storing client identifiers in the DNS to unambiguously associate domain names with the DHCP clients to which they refer. This memo defines a distinct ResourceRecord (RR) type for this purpose for use by DHCP clients and servers: the "DHCID" RR.

Obsoletes:RFC 3012
Updates:RFC 3344
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4721
Mobile IP, as originally specified, defines an authentication extension (the Mobile-Foreign Authentication extension) by which a mobile node can authenticate itself to a foreign agent.Unfortunately, that extension does not provide the foreign agent any direct guarantee that the protocol is protected from replays and does not allow for the use of existing techniques (such as ChallengeHandshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)) for authenticating portable computer devices.

In this specification, we define extensions for the Mobile IP AgentAdvertisements and the Registration Request that allow a foreign agent to use a challenge/response mechanism to authenticate the mobile node.

Furthermore, this document updates RFC 3344 by including a new authentication extension called the Mobile-Authentication,Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) Authentication extension. This new extension is provided so that a mobile node can supply credentials for authorization, using commonly available AAA infrastructure elements. This authorization-enabling extension MAY co-exist in the same Registration Request with authentication extensions defined for Mobile IP Registration by RFC 3344. This document obsoletes RFC 3012.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4724
This document describes a mechanism for BGP that would help minimize the negative effects on routing caused by BGP restart. An End-of-RIB marker is specified and can be used to convey routing convergence information. A new BGP capability, termed "Graceful RestartCapability", is defined that would allow a BGP speaker to express its ability to preserve forwarding state during BGP restart. Finally, procedures are outlined for temporarily retaining routing information across a TCP session termination/re-establishment.

The mechanisms described in this document are applicable to all routers, both those with the ability to preserve forwarding state during BGP restart and those without (although the latter need to implement only a subset of the mechanisms described in this document).

Obsoletes:RFC 2833
Updated by:RFC 4734, RFC 5244
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4733
This memo describes how to carry dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) signalling, other tone signals, and telephony events in RTP packets.It obsoletes RFC 2833.

This memo captures and expands upon the basic framework defined inRFC 2833, but retains only the most basic event codes. It sets up anIANA registry to which other event code assignments may be added.Companion documents add event codes to this registry relating to modem, fax, text telephony, and channel-associated signalling events.The remainder of the event codes defined in RFC 2833 are conditionally reserved in case other documents revive their use.

This document provides a number of clarifications to the original document. However, it specifically differs from RFC 2833 by removing the requirement that all compliant implementations support the DTMF events. Instead, compliant implementations taking part in out-of-band negotiations of media stream content indicate what events they support. This memo adds three new procedures to the RFC 2833 framework: subdivision of long events into segments, reporting of multiple events in a single packet, and the concept and reporting of state events.

Updated by:RFC 6248
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4737
This memo defines metrics to evaluate whether a network has maintained packet order on a packet-by-packet basis. It provides motivations for the new metrics and discusses the measurement issues, including the context information required for all metrics. The memo first defines a reordered singleton, and then uses it as the basis for sample metrics to quantify the extent of reordering in several useful dimensions for network characterization or receiver design.Additional metrics quantify the frequency of reordering and the distance between separate occurrences. We then define a metric oriented toward assessment of reordering effects on TCP. Several examples of evaluation using the various sample metrics are included.An appendix gives extended definitions for evaluating order with packet fragmentation.
 
RFC 4738 MIKEY-RSA-R: An Additional Mode of Key Distribution in Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY)
 
Authors:D. Ignjatic, L. Dondeti, F. Audet, P. Lin.
Date:November 2006
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 3830
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4738
The Multimedia Internet Keying (MIKEY) specification describes several modes of key distribution solution that address multimedia scenarios (e.g., SIP calls and Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) sessions) using pre-shared keys, public keys, and optionally aDiffie-Hellman key exchange. In the public-key mode, the Initiator encrypts a random key with the Responder's public key and sends it to the Responder. In many communication scenarios, the Initiator may not know the Responder's public key, or in some cases the Responder'sID (e.g., call forwarding) in advance. We propose a new MIKEY mode that works well in such scenarios. This mode also enhances the group key management support in MIKEY; it supports member-initiated group key download (in contrast to group manager pushing the group keys to all members). This document updates RFC 3830 with the RSA-R mode.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 4761
Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), also known as Transparent LANService and Virtual Private Switched Network service, is a usefulService Provider offering. The service offers a Layer 2 VirtualPrivate Network (VPN); however, in the case of VPLS, the customers in the VPN are connected by a multipoint Ethernet LAN, in contrast to the usual Layer 2 VPNs, which are point-to-point in nature.

This document describes the functions required to offer VPLS, a mechanism for signaling a VPLS, and rules for forwarding VPLS frames across a packet switched network.

 
RFC 4762 Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) Using Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) Signaling
 
Authors:M. Lasserre, Ed., V. Kompella, Ed..
Date:January 2007
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4762
This document describes a Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) solution using pseudowires, a service previously implemented over other tunneling technologies and known as Transparent LAN Services (TLS).A VPLS creates an emulated LAN segment for a given set of users; i.e., it creates a Layer 2 broadcast domain that is fully capable of learning and forwarding on Ethernet MAC addresses and that is closed to a given set of users. Multiple VPLS services can be supported from a single Provider Edge (PE) node.

This document describes the control plane functions of signaling pseudowire labels using Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), extendingRFC 4447. It is agnostic to discovery protocols. The data plane functions of forwarding are also described, focusing in particular on the learning of MAC addresses. The encapsulation of VPLS packets is described by RFC 4448.

RFC 4781 Graceful Restart Mechanism for BGP with MPLS
 
Authors:Y. Rekhter, R. Aggarwal.
Date:January 2007
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4781
A mechanism for BGP that helps minimize the negative effects on routing caused by BGP restart has already been developed and is described in a separate document ("Graceful Restart Mechanism forBGP"). This document extends this mechanism to minimize the negative effects on MPLS forwarding caused by the Label Switching Router's(LSR's) control plane restart, and specifically by the restart of itsBGP component when BGP is used to carry MPLS labels and the LSR is capable of preserving the MPLS forwarding state across the restart.

The mechanism described in this document is agnostic with respect to the types of the addresses carried in the BGP Network LayerReachability Information (NLRI) field. As such, it works in conjunction with any of the address families that could be carried inBGP (e.g., IPv4, IPv6, etc.).

 
RFC 4783 GMPLS - Communication of Alarm Information

RFC 4798 Connecting IPv6 Islands over IPv4 MPLS Using IPv6 Provider Edge Routers (6PE)
 
Authors:J. De Clercq, D. Ooms, S. Prevost, F. Le Faucheur.
Date:February 2007
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4798
This document explains how to interconnect IPv6 islands over aMultiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-enabled IPv4 cloud. This approach relies on IPv6 Provider Edge routers (6PE), which are DualStack in order to connect to IPv6 islands and to the MPLS core, which is only required to run IPv4 MPLS. The 6PE routers exchange the IPv6 reachability information transparently over the core using theMultiprotocol Border Gateway Protocol (MP-BGP) over IPv4. In doing so, the BGP Next Hop field is used to convey the IPv4 address of the6PE router so that dynamically established IPv4-signaled MPLS LabelSwitched Paths (LSPs) can be used without explicit tunnel configuration.

Authors:F. Le Faucheur, Ed..
Date:February 2007
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4804
RFC 3175 specifies aggregation of Resource ReSerVation Protocol(RSVP) end-to-end reservations over aggregate RSVP reservations.This document specifies aggregation of RSVP end-to-end reservations over MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) tunnels or MPLS Diffserv-awareMPLS Traffic Engineering (DS-TE) tunnels. This approach is based onRFC 3175 and simply modifies the corresponding procedures for operations over MPLS TE tunnels instead of aggregate RSVP reservations. This approach can be used to achieve admission control of a very large number of flows in a scalable manner since the devices in the core of the network are unaware of the end-to-end RSVP reservations and are only aware of the MPLS TE tunnels.

RFC 4806 Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) Extensions to IKEv2
 
Authors:M. Myers, H. Tschofenig.
Date:February 2007
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4806
While the Internet Key Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2) supports public key based authentication, the corresponding use of in-bandCertificate Revocation Lists (CRL) is problematic due to unboundedCRL size. The size of an Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) response is however well-bounded and small. This document defines the "OCSP Content" extension to IKEv2. A CERTREQ payload with "OCSPContent" identifies zero or more trusted OCSP responders and is a request for inclusion of an OCSP response in the IKEv2 handshake. A cooperative recipient of such a request responds with a CERT payload containing the appropriate OCSP response. This content is recognizable via the same "OCSP Content" identifier.

When certificates are used with IKEv2, the communicating peers need a mechanism to determine the revocation status of the peer's certificate. OCSP is one such mechanism. This document applies whenOCSP is desired and security policy prevents one of the IKEv2 peers from accessing the relevant OCSP responder directly. Firewalls are often deployed in a manner that prevents such access by IKEv2 peers outside of an enterprise network.

XCAP maps XML document sub-trees and element attributes to HTTP URIs, so that these components can be directly accessed byHTTP.
 
RFC 4826 Extensible Markup Language (XML) Formats for Representing Resource Lists
 
Authors:J. Rosenberg.
Date:May 2007
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4826
In multimedia communications, presence, and instant messaging systems, there is a need to define Uniform Resource Identifiers(URIs) that represent services that are associated with a group of users. One example is a resource list service. If a user sends aSession Initiation Protocol (SIP) SUBSCRIBE message to the URI representing the resource list service, the server will obtain the state of the users in the associated group, and provide it to the sender. To facilitate definition of these services, this specification defines two Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents.One document contains service URIs, along with their service definition and a reference to the associated group of users. The second document contains the user lists that are referenced from the first. This list of users can be utilized by other applications and services. Both documents can be created and managed with the XMLConfiguration Access Protocol (XCAP).

Obsoletes:RFC 4305
Obsoleted by:RFC 7321
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4835
The IPsec series of protocols makes use of various cryptographic algorithms in order to provide security services. The EncapsulatingSecurity Payload (ESP) and the Authentication Header (AH) provide two mechanisms for protecting data being sent over an IPsec SecurityAssociation (SA). To ensure interoperability between disparate implementations, it is necessary to specify a set of mandatory-to- implement algorithms to ensure that there is at least one algorithm that all implementations will have available. This document defines the current set of mandatory-to-implement algorithms for ESP and AH as well as specifying algorithms that should be implemented because they may be promoted to mandatory at some future time.

RFC 4849 RADIUS Filter Rule Attribute
 
Authors:P. Congdon, M. Sanchez, B. Aboba.
Date:April 2007
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4849
While RFC 2865 defines the Filter-Id attribute, it requires that theNetwork Access Server (NAS) be pre-populated with the desired filters. However, in situations where the server operator does not know which filters have been pre-populated, it is useful to specify filter rules explicitly. This document defines the NAS-Filter-Rule attribute within the Remote Authentication Dial In User Service(RADIUS). This attribute is based on the Diameter NAS-Filter-RuleAttribute Value Pair (AVP) described in RFC 4005, and theIPFilterRule syntax defined in RFC 3588.

Date:May 2007
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4860
RFC 3175 defines aggregate Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) reservations allowing resources to be reserved in a Diffserv network for a given Per Hop Behavior (PHB), or given set of PHBs, from a given source to a given destination. RFC 3175 also defines how end- to-end RSVP reservations can be aggregated onto such aggregate reservations when transiting through a Diffserv cloud. There are situations where multiple such aggregate reservations are needed for the same source IP address, destination IP address, and PHB (or set of PHBs). However, this is not supported by the aggregate reservations defined in RFC 3175. In order to support this, the present document defines a more flexible type of aggregate RSVP reservations, referred to as generic aggregate reservation. Multiple such generic aggregate reservations can be established for a givenPHB (or set of PHBs) from a given source IP address to a given destination IP address. The generic aggregate reservations may be used to aggregate end-to-end RSVP reservations. This document also defines the procedures for such aggregation. The generic aggregate reservations may also be used end-to-end directly by end-systems attached to a Diffserv network.
 
RFC 4863 Wildcard Pseudowire Type
 
Authors:L. Martini, G. Swallow.
Date:May 2007
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4863
Pseudowire signaling requires that the Pseudowire Type (PW Type) be identical in both directions. For certain applications the configuration of the PW Type is most easily accomplished by configuring this information at just one PW endpoint. In any form ofLDP-based signaling, each PW endpoint must initiate the creation of a unidirectional LSP. In order to allow the initiation of these twoLSPs to remain independent, a means is needed for allowing the PW endpoint (lacking a priori knowledge of the PW Type) to initiate the creation of an LSP. This document defines a Wildcard PW Type to satisfy this need.

DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) defines a domain-level authentication framework for email using public-key cryptography and key server technology to permit verification of the source and contents of messages by either Mail Transfer Agents (MTAs) or MailUser Agents (MUAs). The ultimate goal of this framework is to permit a signing domain to assert responsibility for a message, thus protecting message signer identity and the integrity of the messages they convey while retaining the functionality of Internet email as it is known today. Protection of email identity may assist in the global control of "spam" and "phishing".

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4874
This document specifies ways to communicate route exclusions during path setup using Resource ReserVation Protocol-Traffic Engineering(RSVP-TE).

The RSVP-TE specification, "RSVP-TE: Extensions to RSVP for LSPTunnels" (RFC 3209) and GMPLS extensions to RSVP-TE, "GeneralizedMulti-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Signaling Resource ReserVationProtocol-Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) Extensions" (RFC 3473) allow abstract nodes and resources to be explicitly included in a path setup, but not to be explicitly excluded.

In some networks where precise explicit paths are not computed at the head end, it may be useful to specify and signal abstract nodes and resources that are to be explicitly excluded from routes. These exclusions may apply to the whole path, or to parts of a path between two abstract nodes specified in an explicit path. How Shared RiskLink Groups (SRLGs) can be excluded is also specified in this document.

Date:April 2007
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 0792, RFC 4443
Updated by:RFC 8335
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4884
This document redefines selected ICMP messages to support multi-part operation. A multi-part ICMP message carries all of the information that ICMP messages carried previously, as well as additional information that applications may require.

Multi-part messages are supported by an ICMP extension structure.The extension structure is situated at the end of the ICMP message.It includes an extension header followed by one or more extension objects. Each extension object contains an object header and object payload. All object headers share a common format.

This document further redefines the above mentioned ICMP messages by specifying a length attribute. All of the currently defined ICMP messages to which an extension structure can be appended include an"original datagram" field. The "original datagram" field contains the initial octets of the datagram that elicited the ICMP error message. Although the original datagram field is of variable length, the ICMP message does not include a field that specifies its length.Therefore, in order to facilitate message parsing, this document allocates eight previously reserved bits to reflect the length of the"original datagram" field.

The proposed modifications change the requirements for ICMP compliance. The impact of these changes on compliant implementations is discussed, and new requirements for future implementations are presented.

This memo updates RFC 792 and RFC 4443.

RFC 4901 Protocol Extensions for Header Compression over MPLS
 
Authors:J. Ash, Ed., J. Hand, Ed., A. Malis, Ed..
Date:June 2007
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4901
This specification defines how to use Multi-Protocol Label Switching(MPLS) to route Header-Compressed (HC) packets over an MPLS label switched path. HC can significantly reduce packet-header overhead and, in combination with MPLS, can also increases bandwidth efficiency and processing scalability in terms of the maximum number of simultaneous compressed flows that use HC at each router). Here we define how MPLS pseudowires are used to transport the HC context and control messages between the ingress and egress MPLS label switching routers. This is defined for a specific set of existing HC mechanisms that might be used, for example, to support voice over IP.This specification also describes extension mechanisms to allow support for future, as yet to be defined, HC protocols. In this specification, each HC protocol operates independently over a single pseudowire instance, very much as it would over a single point-to- point link.

Because of retargeting of a dialog-forming request (changing the value of the Request-URI), the UA that receives it (the User Agent Server, UAS) can have a different identity from that in the To header field. The same mechanism can be used to indicate a change of identity during a dialog, e.g., because of some action in the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) behind a gateway. This document normatively updates RFC 3261 (SIP).

RFC 2518 was published in February 1999, and this specification obsoletes RFC 2518 with minor revisions mostly due to interoperability experience.

 
RFC 4920 Crankback Signaling Extensions for MPLS and GMPLS RSVP-TE
 
Authors:A. Farrel, Ed., A. Satyanarayana, A. Iwata, N. Fujita, G. Ash.
Date:July 2007
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4920
In a distributed, constraint-based routing environment, the information used to compute a path may be out of date. This means that Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS(GMPLS) Traffic Engineered (TE) Label Switched Path (LSP) setup requests may be blocked by links or nodes without sufficient resources. Crankback is a scheme whereby setup failure information is returned from the point of failure to allow new setup attempts to be made avoiding the blocked resources. Crankback can also be applied to LSP recovery to indicate the location of the failed link or node.

This document specifies crankback signaling extensions for use inMPLS signaling using RSVP-TE as defined in "RSVP-TE: Extensions toRSVP for LSP Tunnels", RFC 3209, and GMPLS signaling as defined in"Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) SignalingFunctional Description", RFC 3473. These extensions mean that theLSP setup request can be retried on an alternate path that detours around blocked links or nodes. This offers significant improvements in the successful setup and recovery ratios for LSPs, especially in situations where a large number of setup requests are triggered at the same time.

RFC 4951 Fail Over Extensions for Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) "failover"
 
Authors:V. Jain, Ed..
Date:August 2007
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4951
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a connection-oriented protocol that has a shared state between active endpoints. Some of this shared state is vital for operation, but may be volatile in nature, such as packet sequence numbers used on the L2TP Control Connection.When failure of one side of a control connection occurs, a new control connection is created and associated with the old connection by exchanging information about the old connection. Such a mechanism is not intended as a replacement for an active fail over with some mirrored connection states, but as an aid for those parameters that are particularly difficult to have immediately available. Protocol extensions to L2TP defined in this document are intended to facilitate state recovery, providing additional resiliency in an L2TP network, and improving a remote system's layer 2 connectivity.

RFC 4959 IMAP Extension for Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) Initial Client Response
 
Authors:R. Siemborski, A. Gulbrandsen.
Date:September 2007
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4959
To date, the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) has used aSimple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) profile which always required at least one complete round trip for an authentication, as it did not support an initial client response argument. This additional round trip at the beginning of the session is undesirable, especially when round-trip costs are high.

This document defines an extension to IMAP which allows clients and servers to avoid this round trip by allowing an initial client response argument to the IMAP AUTHENTICATE command.

This document obsoletes RFC 2960 and RFC 3309. It describes theStream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). SCTP is designed to transport Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) signaling messages over IP networks, but is capable of broader applications.

SCTP is a reliable transport protocol operating on top of a connectionless packet network such as IP. It offers the following services to its users:

-- acknowledged error-free non-duplicated transfer of user data,

-- data fragmentation to conform to discovered path MTU size,

-- sequenced delivery of user messages within multiple streams, with an option for order-of-arrival delivery of individual user messages,

-- optional bundling of multiple user messages into a single SCTP packet, and

-- network-level fault tolerance through supporting of multi-homing at either or both ends of an association.

The design of SCTP includes appropriate congestion avoidance behavior and resistance to flooding and masquerade attacks.

The setup of a full mesh of Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)Traffic Engineering (TE) Label Switched Paths (LSP) among a set ofLabel Switch Routers (LSR) is a common deployment scenario of MPLSTraffic Engineering either for bandwidth optimization, bandwidth guarantees or fast rerouting with MPLS Fast Reroute. Such deployment may require the configuration of a potentially large number of TELSPs (on the order of the square of the number of LSRs). This document specifies Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) routing extensions for Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) and OpenShortest Path First (OSPF) so as to provide an automatic discovery of the set of LSRs members of a mesh in order to automate the creation of such mesh of TE LSPs.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4974
In certain networking topologies, it may be advantageous to maintain associations between endpoints and key transit points to support an instance of a service. Such associations are known as Calls.

A Call does not provide the actual connectivity for transmitting user traffic, but only builds a relationship by which subsequentConnections may be made. In Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) suchConnections are known as Label Switched Paths (LSPs).

This document specifies how GMPLS Resource Reservation Protocol -Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) signaling may be used and extended to support Calls. These mechanisms provide full and logicalCall/Connection separation.

The mechanisms proposed in this document are applicable to any environment (including multi-area), and for any type of interface: packet, layer-2, time-division multiplexed, lambda, or fiber switching.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5001
With the increased use of DNS anycast, load balancing, and other mechanisms allowing more than one DNS name server to share a singleIP address, it is sometimes difficult to tell which of a pool of name servers has answered a particular query. While existing ad-hoc mechanisms allow an operator to send follow-up queries when it is necessary to debug such a configuration, the only completely reliable way to obtain the identity of the name server that responded is to have the name server include this information in the response itself.This note defines a protocol extension to support this functionality.

This document discusses Bidirectional PIM (BIDIR-PIM), a variant ofPIM Sparse-Mode that builds bidirectional shared trees connecting multicast sources and receivers. Bidirectional trees are built using a fail-safe Designated Forwarder (DF) election mechanism operating on each link of a multicast topology. With the assistance of the DF, multicast data is natively forwarded from sources to the Rendezvous-Point (RP) and hence along the shared tree to receivers without requiring source-specific state. The DF election takes place at RP discovery time and provides the route to the RP, thus eliminating the requirement for data-driven protocol events.

Updated by:RFC 8553
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5026
A Mobile IPv6 node requires a Home Agent address, a home address, andIPsec security associations with its Home Agent before it can start utilizing Mobile IPv6 service. RFC 3775 requires that some or all of these are statically configured. This document defines how a MobileIPv6 node can bootstrap this information from non-topological information and security credentials pre-configured on the MobileNode. The solution defined in this document solves the split scenario described in the Mobile IPv6 bootstrapping problem statement in RFC 4640. The split scenario refers to the case where the MobileNode's mobility service is authorized by a different service provider than basic network access. The solution described in this document is also generically applicable to any bootstrapping case, since other scenarios are more specific realizations of the split scenario.

Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 3501
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5032
This document describes the WITHIN extension to IMAP SEARCH. IMAPSEARCH returns messages whose internal date is within or outside a specified interval. The mechanism described here, OLDER and YOUNGER, differs from BEFORE and SINCE in that the client specifies an interval, rather than a date. WITHIN is useful for persistent searches where either the device does not have the capacity to perform the search at regular intervals or the network is of limited bandwidth and thus there is a desire to reduce network traffic from sending repeated requests and redundant responses.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5052
This document describes how to use Forward Error Correction (FEC) codes to efficiently provide and/or augment reliability for bulk data transfer over IP multicast. This document defines a framework for the definition of the information that needs to be communicated in order to use an FEC code for bulk data transfer, in addition to the encoded data itself, and for definition of formats and codes for communication of that information. Both information communicated with the encoded data itself and information that needs to be communicated 'out-of-band' are considered. The procedures for specifying new FEC codes, defining the information communication requirements associated with those codes and registering them with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) are also described.The requirements on Content Delivery Protocols that wish to use FEC codes defined within this framework are also defined. The companion document titled "The Use of Forward Error Correction (FEC) inReliable Multicast" describes some applications of FEC codes for delivering content. This document obsoletes RFC 3452.

Date:October 2007
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5053
This document describes a Fully-Specified Forward Error Correction(FEC) scheme, corresponding to FEC Encoding ID 1, for the Raptor forward error correction code and its application to reliable delivery of data objects.

Raptor is a fountain code, i.e., as many encoding symbols as needed can be generated by the encoder on-the-fly from the source symbols of a source block of data. The decoder is able to recover the source block from any set of encoding symbols only slightly more in number than the number of source symbols.

The Raptor code described here is a systematic code, meaning that all the source symbols are among the encoding symbols that can be generated.

It allows simplification of client implementations and use of a set of predefined validation policies.
 
RFC 5056 On the Use of Channel Bindings to Secure Channels
 
Authors:N. Williams.
Date:November 2007
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5056
The concept of channel binding allows applications to establish that the two end-points of a secure channel at one network layer are the same as at a higher layer by binding authentication at the higher layer to the channel at the lower layer. This allows applications to delegate session protection to lower layers, which has various performance benefits.

This document discusses and formalizes the concept of channel binding to secure channels.

A local host may have multiple points of attachment to the Internet, giving it a degree of fault tolerance from hardware failures. StreamControl Transmission Protocol (SCTP) (RFC 4960) was developed to take full advantage of such a multi-homed host to provide a fast failover and association survivability in the face of such hardware failures.This document describes an extension to SCTP that will allow an SCTP stack to dynamically add an IP address to an SCTP association, dynamically delete an IP address from an SCTP association, and to request to set the primary address the peer will use when sending to an endpoint.
 
RFC 5063 Extensions to GMPLS Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) Graceful Restart
 
Authors:A. Satyanarayana, Ed., R. Rahman, Ed..
Date:October 2007
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 2961, RFC 3473
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5063
This document describes extensions to the Resource ReservationProtocol (RSVP) Graceful Restart mechanisms defined in RFC 3473. The extensions enable the recovery of RSVP signaling state based on thePath message last sent by the node being restarted.

Previously defined Graceful Restart mechanisms, also called recovery from nodal faults, permit recovery of signaling state from adjacent nodes when the data plane has retained the associated forwarding state across a restart. Those mechanisms do not fully support signaling state recovery on ingress nodes or recovery of all RSVP objects.

The extensions defined in this document build on the RSVP Hello extensions defined in RFC 3209, and extensions for state recovery on nodal faults defined in RFC 3473. Using these extensions, the restarting node can recover all previously transmitted Path state, including the Explicit Route Object and the downstream (outgoing) interface identifiers. The extensions can also be used to recover signaling state after the restart of an ingress node.

These extensions are not used to create or restore data plane state.

The extensions optionally support the use of Summary Refresh, defined in RFC 2961, to reduce the number of messages exchanged during theRecovery Phase when the restarting node has recovered signaling state locally for one or more Label Switched Paths (LSPs).

There are various circumstances where it is highly desirable for aPath Computation Client (PCC) to be able to dynamically and automatically discover a set of Path Computation Elements (PCEs), along with information that can be used by the PCC for PCE selection.When the PCE is a Label Switching Router (LSR) participating in theInterior Gateway Protocol (IGP), or even a server participating passively in the IGP, a simple and efficient way to announce PCEs consists of using IGP flooding. For that purpose, this document defines extensions to the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol for the advertisement of PCE Discovery information within anOSPF area or within the entire OSPF routing domain.

RFC 5109 RTP Payload Format for Generic Forward Error Correction
 
Authors:A. Li, Ed..
Date:December 2007
Formats:txt json html
Obsoletes:RFC 2733, RFC 3009
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5109
This document specifies a payload format for generic Forward ErrorCorrection (FEC) for media data encapsulated in RTP. It is based on the exclusive-or (parity) operation. The payload format described in this document allows end systems to apply protection using various protection lengths and levels, in addition to using various protection group sizes to adapt to different media and channel characteristics. It enables complete recovery of the protected packets or partial recovery of the critical parts of the payload depending on the packet loss situation. This scheme is completely compatible with non-FEC-capable hosts, so the receivers in a multicast group that do not implement FEC can still work by simply ignoring the protection data. This specification obsoletes RFC 2733 and RFC 3009. The FEC specified in this document is not backward compatible with RFC 2733 and RFC 3009.
 
RFC 5112 The Presence-Specific Static Dictionary for Signaling Compression (Sigcomp)
 
Authors:M. Garcia-Martin.
Date:January 2008
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5112
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a text-based protocol for initiating and managing communication sessions. The protocol is extended by the SIP-events notification framework to provide subscriptions and notifications of SIP events. One example of such event notification mechanism is presence, which is expressed in XML documents called presence documents. SIP can be compressed by usingSignaling Compression (SigComp), which is enhanced by using the SIP/Session Description Protocol (SDP) dictionary to achieve better compression rates. However, the SIP/SDP dictionary is not able to increase the compression factor of (typically lengthy) presence documents. This memo defines the presence-specific static dictionary that SigComp can use in order to compress presence documents to achieve higher efficiency. The dictionary is compression-algorithm independent.

RFC 5150 Label Switched Path Stitching with Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching Traffic Engineering (GMPLS TE)

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5150
In certain scenarios, there may be a need to combine severalGeneralized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Label SwitchedPaths (LSPs) such that a single end-to-end (e2e) LSP is realized and all traffic from one constituent LSP is switched onto the next LSP.We will refer to this as "LSP stitching", the key requirement being that a constituent LSP not be allocated to more than one e2e LSP.The constituent LSPs will be referred to as "LSP segments" (S-LSPs).

This document describes extensions to the existing GMPLS signaling protocol (Resource Reservation Protocol-Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE)) to establish e2e LSPs created from S-LSPs, and describes how theLSPs can be managed using the GMPLS signaling and routing protocols.

It may be possible to configure a GMPLS node to switch the traffic from an LSP for which it is the egress, to another LSP for which it is the ingress, without requiring any signaling or routing extensions whatsoever and such that the operation is completely transparent to other nodes. This will also result in LSP stitching in the data plane. However, this document does not cover this scenario of LSP stitching.

RFC 5152 A Per-Domain Path Computation Method for Establishing Inter-Domain Traffic Engineering (TE) Label Switched Paths (LSPs)

Date:February 2008
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5152
This document specifies a per-domain path computation technique for establishing inter-domain Traffic Engineering (TE) MultiprotocolLabel Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Label SwitchedPaths (LSPs). In this document, a domain refers to a collection of network elements within a common sphere of address management or path computational responsibility such as Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) areas and Autonomous Systems.

Per-domain computation applies where the full path of an inter-domainTE LSP cannot be or is not determined at the ingress node of the TELSP, and is not signaled across domain boundaries. This is most likely to arise owing to TE visibility limitations. The signaling message indicates the destination and nodes up to the next domain boundary. It may also indicate further domain boundaries or domain identifiers. The path through each domain, possibly including the choice of exit point from the domain, must be determined within the domain.

RFC 5177 Network Mobility (NEMO) Extensions for Mobile IPv4
 
Authors:K. Leung, G. Dommety, V. Narayanan, A. Petrescu.
Date:April 2008
Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 6626
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5177
This document describes a protocol for supporting Mobile Networks between a Mobile Router and a Home Agent by extending the Mobile IPv4 protocol. A Mobile Router is responsible for the mobility of one or more network segments or subnets moving together. The Mobile Router hides its mobility from the nodes on the Mobile Network. The nodes on the Mobile Network may be fixed in relationship to the MobileRouter and may not have any mobility function.

Extensions to Mobile IPv4 are introduced to support Mobile Networks.

 
RFC 5178 Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) Internationalization and Domain-Based Service Names and Name Type
 
Authors:N. Williams, A. Melnikov.
Date:May 2008
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5178
This document describes domain-name-based service principal names and the corresponding name type for the Generic Security ServiceApplication Programming Interface (GSS-API). Internationalization of the GSS-API is also covered.

Domain-based service names are similar to host-based service names, but using a domain name (not necessarily an Internet domain name) in addition to a hostname. The primary purpose of domain-based names is to provide a measure of protection to applications that utilize insecure service discovery protocols. This is achieved by providing a way to name clustered services after the "domain" which they service, thereby allowing their clients to authorize the service's servers based on authentication of their service names.

RFC 5182 IMAP Extension for Referencing the Last SEARCH Result
 
Authors:A. Melnikov.
Date:March 2008
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 3501
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5182
Many IMAP clients use the result of a SEARCH command as the input to perform another operation, for example, fetching the found messages, deleting them, or copying them to another mailbox.

This can be achieved using standard IMAP operations described in RFC3501; however, this would be suboptimal. The server will send the list of found messages to the client; after that, the client will have to parse the list, reformat it, and send it back to the server.The client can't pipeline the SEARCH command with the subsequent command, and, as a result, the server might not be able to perform some optimizations.

This document proposes an IMAP extension that allows a client to tell a server to use the result of a SEARCH (or Unique Identifier (UID)SEARCH) command as an input to any subsequent command.

Date:June 2008
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5195
The purpose of this document is to define a BGP-based auto-discovery mechanism for Layer-1 VPNs (L1VPNs). The auto-discovery mechanism for L1VPNs allows the provider network devices to dynamically discover the set of Provider Edges (PEs) having ports attached toCustomer Edge (CE) members of the same VPN. That information is necessary for completing the signaling phase of L1VPN connections.One main objective of a L1VPN auto-discovery mechanism is to support the "single-end provisioning" model, where addition of a new port to a given L1VPN would involve configuration changes only on the PE that has this port and on the CE that is connected to the PE via this port.

RFC 5258 Internet Message Access Protocol version 4 - LIST Command Extensions
 
Authors:B. Leiba, A. Melnikov.
Date:June 2008
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5258
IMAP4 has two commands for listing mailboxes: LIST and LSUB. As we have added extensions, such as Mailbox Referrals, that have required specialized lists we have had to expand the number of list commands, since each extension must add its function to both LIST and LSUB, and these commands are not, as they are defined, extensible. If we've needed the extensions to work together, we've had to add a set of commands to mix the different options, the set increasing in size with each new extension. This document describes an extension to the base LIST command that will allow these additions to be done with mutually compatible options to the LIST command, avoiding the exponential increase in specialized list commands.

RFC 5261 An Extensible Markup Language (XML) Patch Operations Framework Utilizing XML Path Language (XPath) Selectors
 
Authors:J. Urpalainen.
Date:September 2008
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5261
Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents are widely used as containers for the exchange and storage of arbitrary data in today's systems. In order to send changes to an XML document, an entire copy of the new version must be sent, unless there is a means of indicating only the portions that have changed. This document describes an XML patch framework utilizing XML Path language (XPath) selectors. These selector values and updated new data content constitute the basis of patch operations described in this document.In addition to them, with basic <add&rt;, <replace&rt;, and <remove&rt; directives a set of patches can then be applied to update an existingXML document.
 
RFC 5262 Presence Information Data Format (PIDF) Extension for Partial Presence

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5262
The Presence Information Document Format (PIDF) specifies the baseline XML-based format for describing presence information. One of the characteristics of the PIDF is that the document always needs to carry all presence information available for the presentity. In some environments where low bandwidth and high latency links can exist, it is often beneficial to limit the amount of transported information over the network. This document introduces a new MIME type that enables transporting of either only the changed parts or the full PIDF-based presence information.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 5263
By default, presence delivered using the presence event package for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is represented in the PresenceInformation Data Format (PIDF). A PIDF document contains a set of elements, each representing a different aspect of the presence being reported. When any subset of the elements change, even just a single element, a new document containing the full set of elements is delivered. This memo defines an extension allowing delivery of only the presence data that has actually changed.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5264
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Extension for Event StatePublication describes a mechanism with which a presence user agent is able to publish presence information to a presence agent. Using thePresence Information Data Format (PIDF), each presence publication contains full state, regardless of how much of that information has actually changed since the previous update. As a consequence, updating a sizeable presence document with small changes bears a considerable overhead and is therefore inefficient. Especially with low bandwidth and high latency links, this can constitute a considerable burden to the system. This memo defines a solution that aids in reducing the impact of those constraints and increases transport efficiency by introducing a mechanism that allows for publication of partial presence information.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 5268
Mobile IPv6 enables a Mobile Node (MN) to maintain its connectivity to the Internet when moving from one Access Router to another, a process referred to as handover. During handover, there is a period during which the Mobile Node is unable to send or receive packets because of link switching delay and IP protocol operations. This"handover latency" resulting from standard Mobile IPv6 procedures, namely movement detection, new Care-of Address configuration, andBinding Update, is often unacceptable to real-time traffic such asVoice over IP (VoIP). Reducing the handover latency could be beneficial to non-real-time, throughput-sensitive applications as well. This document specifies a protocol to improve handover latency due to Mobile IPv6 procedures. This document does not address improving the link switching latency.
 
RFC 5269 Distributing a Symmetric Fast Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) Handover Key Using SEcure Neighbor Discovery (SEND)
 
Authors:J. Kempf, R. Koodli.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5269
Fast Mobile IPv6 requires that a Fast Binding Update is secured using a security association shared between an Access Router and a MobileNode in order to avoid certain attacks. In this document, a method for provisioning a shared key from the Access Router to the MobileNode is defined to protect this signaling. The Mobile Node generates a public/private key pair using the same public key algorithm as forSEND (RFC 3971). The Mobile Node sends the public key to the AccessRouter. The Access Router encrypts a shared handover key using the public key and sends it back to the Mobile Node. The Mobile Node decrypts the shared handover key using the matching private key, and the handover key is then available for generating an authenticator on a Fast Binding Update. The Mobile Node and Access Router use theRouter Solicitation for Proxy Advertisement and Proxy RouterAdvertisement from Fast Mobile IPv6 for the key exchange. The key exchange messages are required to have SEND security; that is, the source address is a Cryptographically Generated Address (CGA) and the messages are signed using the CGA private key of the sending node.This allows the Access Router, prior to providing the shared handover key, to verify the authorization of the Mobile Node to claim the address so that the previous care-of CGA in the Fast Binding Update can act as the name of the key.

This document describes a mechanism to manage (i.e., set up, distribute, and rekey) keys used with symmetric cryptographic algorithms. Also defined herein is a mechanism to organize users into groups to support distribution of encrypted content using symmetric cryptographic algorithms. The mechanism uses theCryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) protocol and CertificateManagement over CMS (CMC) protocol to manage the symmetric keys. Any member of the group can then later use this distributed shared key to decrypt other CMS encrypted objects with the symmetric key. This mechanism has been developed to support Secure/Multipurpose InternetMail Extensions (S/MIME) Mail List Agents (MLAs).
 
RFC 5276 Using the Server-Based Certificate Validation Protocol (SCVP) to Convey Long-Term Evidence Records
 
Authors:C. Wallace.
Date:August 2008
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5276
The Server-based Certificate Validation Protocol (SCVP) defines an extensible means of delegating the development and validation of certification paths to a server. It can be used to support the development and validation of certification paths well after the expiration of the certificates in the path by specifying a time of interest in the past. The Evidence Record Syntax (ERS) defines structures, called evidence records, to support the non-repudiation of the existence of data. Evidence records can be used to preserve materials that comprise a certification path such that trust in the certificates can be established after the expiration of the certificates in the path and after the cryptographic algorithms used to sign the certificates in the path are no longer secure. This document describes usage of the SCVP WantBack feature to convey evidence records, enabling SCVP responders to provide preservation evidence for certificates and certificate revocation lists (CRLs).

Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 8518
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5286
This document describes the use of loop-free alternates to provide local protection for unicast traffic in pure IP and MPLS/LDP networks in the event of a single failure, whether link, node, or shared risk link group (SRLG). The goal of this technology is to reduce the packet loss that happens while routers converge after a topology change due to a failure. Rapid failure repair is achieved through use of precalculated backup next-hops that are loop-free and safe to use until the distributed network convergence process completes.This simple approach does not require any support from other routers.The extent to which this goal can be met by this specification is dependent on the topology of the network.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5302
This document describes extensions to the Intermediate System toIntermediate System (IS-IS) protocol to support optimal routing within a two-level domain. The IS-IS protocol is specified in ISO10589, with extensions for supporting IPv4 (Internet Protocol) specified in RFC 1195. This document replaces RFC 2966.

This document extends the semantics presented in RFC 1195 so that a routing domain running with both level 1 and level 2 IntermediateSystems (IS) (routers) can distribute IP prefixes between level 1 and level 2, and vice versa. This distribution requires certain restrictions to ensure that persistent forwarding loops do not form.The goal of this domain-wide prefix distribution is to increase the granularity of the routing information within the domain.

Obsoletes:RFC 3373
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5303
The IS-IS routing protocol (Intermediate System to IntermediateSystem, ISO 10589) requires reliable protocols at the link layer for point-to-point links. As a result, it does not use a three-way handshake when establishing adjacencies on point-to-point media.This paper defines a backward-compatible extension to the protocol that provides for a three-way handshake. It is fully interoperable with systems that do not support the extension.

Additionally, the extension allows the robust operation of more than256 point-to-point links on a single router.

This extension has been implemented by multiple router vendors; this paper is provided to the Internet community in order to allow interoperable implementations to be built by other vendors.

Date:February 2009
Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 6233, RFC 6232
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5310
This document proposes an extension to Intermediate System toIntermediate System (IS-IS) to allow the use of any cryptographic authentication algorithm in addition to the already-documented authentication schemes, described in the base specification and RFC5304. IS-IS is specified in International Standards Organization(ISO) 10589, with extensions to support Internet Protocol version 4(IPv4) described in RFC 1195.

Although this document has been written specifically for using theHashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC) construct along with theSecure Hash Algorithm (SHA) family of cryptographic hash functions, the method described in this document is generic and can be used to extend IS-IS to support any cryptographic hash function in the future.

RFC 5330 A Link-Type sub-TLV to Convey the Number of Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths Signalled with Zero Reserved Bandwidth across a Link
 
Authors:JP. Vasseur, Ed., M. Meyer, K. Kumaki, A. Bonda.
Date:October 2008
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5330
Several Link-type sub-Type-Length-Values (sub-TLVs) have been defined for Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Intermediate System toIntermediate System (IS-IS) in the context of Multiprotocol LabelSwitching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering (TE), in order to advertise some link characteristics such as the available bandwidth, traffic engineering metric, administrative group, and so on. By making statistical assumptions about the aggregated traffic carried onto a set of TE Label Switched Paths (LSPs) signalled with zero bandwidth(referred to as "unconstrained TE LSP" in this document), algorithms can be designed to load balance (existing or newly configured) unconstrained TE LSP across a set of equal cost paths. This requires knowledge of the number of unconstrained TE LSPs signalled across a link. This document specifies a new Link-type Traffic Engineering sub-TLV used to advertise the number of unconstrained TE LSPs signalled across a link.

Date:August 2008
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 3032, RFC 4023
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5332
RFC 3032 established two data link layer codepoints for MPLS, used to distinguish whether the data link layer frame is carrying an MPLS unicast or an MPLS multicast packet. However, this usage was never deployed. This specification updates RFC 3032 by redefining the meaning of these two codepoints. Both codepoints can now be used to carry multicast packets. The second codepoint (formerly the"multicast codepoint") is now to be used only on multiaccess media, and it is to mean "the top label of the following label stack is an upstream-assigned label".

RFC 3032 does not specify the destination address to be placed in the"MAC DA" (Medium Access Layer Destination Address) field of an ethernet frame that carries an MPLS multicast packet. This document provides that specification.

This document updates RFC 3032 and RFC 4023.

Updated by:RFC 6845, RFC 6860, RFC 7503, RFC 8362, RFC 9454
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5340
This document describes the modifications to OSPF to support version6 of the Internet Protocol (IPv6). The fundamental mechanisms ofOSPF (flooding, Designated Router (DR) election, area support, ShortPath First (SPF) calculations, etc.) remain unchanged. However, some changes have been necessary, either due to changes in protocol semantics between IPv4 and IPv6, or simply to handle the increased address size of IPv6. These modifications will necessitate incrementing the protocol version from version 2 to version 3. OSPF for IPv6 is also referred to as OSPF version 3 (OSPFv3).

Changes between OSPF for IPv4, OSPF Version 2, and OSPF for IPv6 as described herein include the following. Addressing semantics have been removed from OSPF packets and the basic Link StateAdvertisements (LSAs). New LSAs have been created to carry IPv6 addresses and prefixes. OSPF now runs on a per-link basis rather than on a per-IP-subnet basis. Flooding scope for LSAs has been generalized. Authentication has been removed from the OSPF protocol and instead relies on IPv6's Authentication Header and EncapsulatingSecurity Payload (ESP).

Even with larger IPv6 addresses, most packets in OSPF for IPv6 are almost as compact as those in OSPF for IPv4. Most fields and packet- size limitations present in OSPF for IPv4 have been relaxed. In addition, option handling has been made more flexible.

All of OSPF for IPv4's optional capabilities, including demand circuit support and Not-So-Stubby Areas (NSSAs), are also supported in OSPF for IPv6.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5357
The One-way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP), specified in RFC4656, provides a common protocol for measuring one-way metrics between network devices. OWAMP can be used bi-directionally to measure one-way metrics in both directions between two network elements. However, it does not accommodate round-trip or two-way measurements. This memo specifies a Two-Way Active MeasurementProtocol (TWAMP), based on the OWAMP, that adds two-way or round-trip measurement capabilities. The TWAMP measurement architecture is usually comprised of two hosts with specific roles, and this allows for some protocol simplifications, making it an attractive alternative in some circumstances.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5364
In certain types of multimedia communications, a Session InitiationProtocol (SIP) request is distributed to a group of SIP User Agents(UAs). The sender sends a single SIP request to a server which further distributes the request to the group. This SIP request contains a list of Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs), which identify the recipients of the SIP request. This URI list is expressed as a resource list XML document. This specification defines an XML extension to the XML resource list format that allows the sender of the request to qualify a recipient with a copy control level similar to the copy control level of existing email systems.

RFC 5373 Requesting Answering Modes for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
 
Authors:D. Willis, Ed., A. Allen.
Date:November 2008
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5373
This document extends SIP with two header fields and associated option tags that can be used in INVITE requests to convey the requester's preference for user-interface handling related to answering of that request. The first header, "Answer-Mode", expresses a preference as to whether the target node's user interface waits for user input before accepting the request or, instead, accepts the request without waiting on user input. The second header, "Priv-Answer-Mode", is similar to the first, except that it requests administrative-level access and has consequent additional authentication and authorization requirements. These behaviors have applicability to applications such as push-to-talk and to diagnostics like loop-back. Usage of each header field in a response to indicate how the request was handled is also defined.

Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 7887
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5384
A "Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode" Join message sent by a given node identifies one or more multicast distribution trees that that node wishes to join. Each tree is identified by the combination of a multicast group address and a source address (where the source address is possibly a "wild card"). Under certain conditions it can be useful, when joining a tree, to specify additional information related to the construction of the tree. However, there has been no way to do so until now. This document describes a modification of the Join message that allows a node to associate attributes with a particular tree. The attributes are encoded in Type-Length-Value format.

Updated by:RFC 7350, RFC 8553
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5389
Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) is a protocol that serves as a tool for other protocols in dealing with Network AddressTranslator (NAT) traversal. It can be used by an endpoint to determine the IP address and port allocated to it by a NAT. It can also be used to check connectivity between two endpoints, and as a keep-alive protocol to maintain NAT bindings. STUN works with many existing NATs, and does not require any special behavior from them.

STUN is not a NAT traversal solution by itself. Rather, it is a tool to be used in the context of a NAT traversal solution. This is an important change from the previous version of this specification (RFC3489), which presented STUN as a complete solution.

This document obsoletes RFC 3489.

Obsoletes:RFC 4420
Updates:RFC 3209, RFC 3473
Updated by:RFC 6510
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5420
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) may be established using the Resource Reservation Protocol TrafficEngineering (RSVP-TE) extensions. This protocol includes an object(the SESSION_ATTRIBUTE object) that carries a Flags field used to indicate options and attributes of the LSP. That Flags field has eight bits, allowing for eight options to be set. Recent proposals in many documents that extend RSVP-TE have suggested uses for each of the previously unused bits.

This document defines a new object for RSVP-TE messages that allows the signaling of further attribute bits and also the carriage of arbitrary attribute parameters to make RSVP-TE easily extensible to support new requirements. Additionally, this document defines a way to record the attributes applied to the LSP on a hop-by-hop basis.

The object mechanisms defined in this document are equally applicable to Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Packet Switch Capable (PSC) LSPs and toGMPLS non-PSC LSPs.

This document replaces and obsoletes the previous version of this work, published as RFC 4420. The only change is in the encoding of the Type-Length-Variable (TLV) data structures.

 
RFC 5423 Internet Message Store Events
 
Authors:R. Gellens, C. Newman.
Date:March 2009
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5423
One of the missing features in the existing Internet mail and messaging standards is a facility for server-to-server and server-to- client event notifications related to message store events. As the scope of Internet mail expands to support more diverse media (such as voice mail) and devices (such as cell phones) and to provide rich interactions with other services (such as web portals and legal compliance systems), the need for an interoperable notification system increases. This document attempts to enumerate the types of events that interest real-world consumers of such a system.

This document describes events and event parameters that are useful for several cases, including notification to administrative systems and end users. This is not intended as a replacement for a message access facility such as IMAP.

 
RFC 5424 The Syslog Protocol
 
Authors:R. Gerhards.
Date:March 2009
Formats:txt html json
Obsoletes:RFC 3164
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5424
This document describes the syslog protocol, which is used to convey event notification messages. This protocol utilizes a layered architecture, which allows the use of any number of transport protocols for transmission of syslog messages. It also provides a message format that allows vendor-specific extensions to be provided in a structured way.

This document has been written with the original design goals for traditional syslog in mind. The need for a new layered specification has arisen because standardization efforts for reliable and secure syslog extensions suffer from the lack of a Standards-Track and transport-independent RFC. Without this document, each other standard needs to define its own syslog packet format and transport mechanism, which over time will introduce subtle compatibility issues. This document tries to provide a foundation that syslog extensions can build on. This layered architecture approach also provides a solid basis that allows code to be written once for each syslog feature rather than once for each transport.

This document obsoletes RFC 3164.

RFC 5429 Sieve Email Filtering: Reject and Extended Reject Extensions
 
Authors:A. Stone, Ed..
Date:March 2009
Formats:txt html json
Obsoletes:RFC 3028
Updates:RFC 5228
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5429
This memo updates the definition of the Sieve mail filtering language"reject" extension, originally defined in RFC 3028.

A "Joe-job" is a spam run forged to appear as though it came from an innocent party, who is then generally flooded by automated bounces,Message Disposition Notifications (MDNs), and personal messages with complaints. The original Sieve "reject" action defined in RFC 3028 required use of MDNs for rejecting messages, thus contributing to the flood of Joe-job spam to victims of Joe-jobs.

This memo updates the definition of the "reject" action to allow messages to be refused during the SMTP transaction, and defines the"ereject" action to require messages to be refused during the SMTP transaction, if possible.

The "ereject" action is intended to replace the "reject" action wherever possible. The "ereject" action is similar to "reject", but will always favor protocol-level message rejection.

 
RFC 5432 Quality of Service (QoS) Mechanism Selection in the Session Description Protocol (SDP)
 
Authors:J. Polk, S. Dhesikan, G. Camarillo.
Date:March 2009
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5432
The offer/answer model for the Session Description Protocol (SDP) assumes that endpoints somehow establish the Quality of Service (QoS) required for the media streams they establish. Endpoints in closed environments typically agree out-of-band (e.g., using configuration information) regarding which QoS mechanism to use. However, on theInternet, there is more than one QoS service available.Consequently, there is a need for a mechanism to negotiate which QoS mechanism to use for a particular media stream. This document defines such a mechanism.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5435
Users go to great lengths to be notified as quickly as possible that they have received new mail. Most of these methods involve polling to check for new messages periodically. A push method handled by the final delivery agent gives users quicker notifications and saves server resources. This document does not specify the notification method, but it is expected that using existing instant messaging infrastructure such as Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol(XMPP), or Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) ShortMessage Service (SMS) messages will be popular. This document describes an extension to the Sieve mail filtering language that allows users to give specific rules for how and when notifications should be sent.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 5441
The ability to compute shortest constrained Traffic Engineering LabelSwitched Paths (TE LSPs) in Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) andGeneralized MPLS (GMPLS) networks across multiple domains has been identified as a key requirement. In this context, a domain is a collection of network elements within a common sphere of address management or path computational responsibility such as an IGP area or an Autonomous Systems. This document specifies a procedure relying on the use of multiple Path Computation Elements (PCEs) to compute such inter-domain shortest constrained paths across a predetermined sequence of domains, using a backward-recursive path computation technique. This technique preserves confidentiality across domains, which is sometimes required when domains are managed by different service providers.

Date:February 2009
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5447
A Mobile IPv6 node requires a home agent address, a home address, and a security association with its home agent before it can start utilizing Mobile IPv6. RFC 3775 requires that some or all of these parameters be statically configured. Mobile IPv6 bootstrapping work aims to make this information dynamically available to the mobile node. An important aspect of the Mobile IPv6 bootstrapping solution is to support interworking with existing Authentication,Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) infrastructures. This document describes MIPv6 bootstrapping using the Diameter Network AccessServer to home AAA server interface.

RFC 5452 Measures for Making DNS More Resilient against Forged Answers
 
Authors:A. Hubert, R. van Mook.
Date:January 2009
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 2181
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5452
The current Internet climate poses serious threats to the Domain NameSystem. In the interim period before the DNS protocol can be secured more fully, measures can already be taken to harden the DNS to make'spoofing' a recursing nameserver many orders of magnitude harder.

Even a cryptographically secured DNS benefits from having the ability to discard bogus responses quickly, as this potentially saves large amounts of computation.

By describing certain behavior that has previously not been standardized, this document sets out how to make the DNS more resilient against accepting incorrect responses. This document updates RFC 2181.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5462
The early Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) documents defined the form of the MPLS label stack entry. This includes a three-bit field called the "EXP field". The exact use of this field was not defined by these documents, except to state that it was to be "reserved for experimental use".

Although the intended use of the EXP field was as a "Class ofService" (CoS) field, it was not named a CoS field by these early documents because the use of such a CoS field was not considered to be sufficiently defined. Today a number of standards documents define its usage as a CoS field.

To avoid misunderstanding about how this field may be used, it has become increasingly necessary to rename this field. This document changes the name of the field to the "Traffic Class field" ("TC field"). In doing so, it also updates documents that define the current use of the EXP field.

RFC 5482 TCP User Timeout Option
 
Authors:L. Eggert, F. Gont.
Date:March 2009
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5482
The TCP user timeout controls how long transmitted data may remain unacknowledged before a connection is forcefully closed. It is a local, per-connection parameter. This document specifies a new TCP option -- the TCP User Timeout Option -- that allows one end of a TCP connection to advertise its current user timeout value. This information provides advice to the other end of the TCP connection to adapt its user timeout accordingly. Increasing the user timeouts on both ends of a TCP connection allows it to survive extended periods without end-to-end connectivity. Decreasing the user timeouts allows busy servers to explicitly notify their clients that they will maintain the connection state only for a short time without connectivity.

Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 4119
Updated by:RFC 7459
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5491
The Presence Information Data Format Location Object (PIDF-LO) specification provides a flexible and versatile means to represent location information. There are, however, circumstances that arise when information needs to be constrained in how it is represented.In these circumstances, the range of options that need to be implemented are reduced. There is growing interest in being able to use location information contained in a PIDF-LO for routing applications. To allow successful interoperability between applications, location information needs to be normative and more tightly constrained than is currently specified in RFC 4119 (PIDF-LO). This document makes recommendations on how to constrain, represent, and interpret locations in a PIDF-LO. It further recommends a subset of Geography Markup Language (GML) 3.1.1 that is mandatory to implement by applications involved in location-based routing.

Date:April 2009
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5510
This document describes a Fully-Specified Forward Error Correction(FEC) Scheme for the Reed-Solomon FEC codes over GF(2^^m), where m is in {2..16}, and its application to the reliable delivery of data objects on the packet erasure channel (i.e., a communication path where packets are either received without any corruption or discarded during transmission). This document also describes a Fully-SpecifiedFEC Scheme for the special case of Reed-Solomon codes over GF(2^^8) when there is no encoding symbol group. Finally, in the context of the Under-Specified Small Block Systematic FEC Scheme (FEC EncodingID 129), this document assigns an FEC Instance ID to the special case of Reed-Solomon codes over GF(2^^8).

Reed-Solomon codes belong to the class of Maximum Distance Separable(MDS) codes, i.e., they enable a receiver to recover the k source symbols from any set of k received symbols. The schemes described here are compatible with the implementation from Luigi Rizzo.

 
RFC 5511 Routing Backus-Naur Form (RBNF): A Syntax Used to Form Encoding Rules in Various Routing Protocol Specifications
 
Authors:A. Farrel.
Date:April 2009
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5511
Several protocols have been specified in the Routing Area of the IETF using a common variant of the Backus-Naur Form (BNF) of representing message syntax. However, there is no formal definition of this version of BNF.

There is value in using the same variant of BNF for the set of protocols that are commonly used together. This reduces confusion and simplifies implementation.

Updating existing documents to use some other variant of BNF that is already formally documented would be a substantial piece of work.

This document provides a formal definition of the variant of BNF that has been used (that we call Routing BNF) and makes it available for use by new protocols.

 
RFC 5512 The BGP Encapsulation Subsequent Address Family Identifier (SAFI) and the BGP Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute
 
Authors:P. Mohapatra, E. Rosen.
Date:April 2009

Obsoleted by:RFC 9012
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5512
In certain situations, transporting a packet from one Border GatewayProtocol (BGP) speaker to another (the BGP next hop) requires that the packet be encapsulated by the first BGP speaker and decapsulated by the second. To support these situations, there needs to be some agreement between the two BGP speakers with regard to the"encapsulation information", i.e., the format of the encapsulation header as well as the contents of various fields of the header.

The encapsulation information need not be signaled for all encapsulation types. In cases where signaling is required (such asLayer Two Tunneling Protocol - Version 3 (L2TPv3) or Generic RoutingEncapsulation (GRE) with key), this document specifies a method by which BGP speakers can signal encapsulation information to each other. The signaling is done by sending BGP updates using theEncapsulation Subsequent Address Family Identifier (SAFI) and theIPv4 or IPv6 Address Family Identifier (AFI). In cases where no encapsulation information needs to be signaled (such as GRE without key), this document specifies a BGP extended community that can be attached to BGP UPDATE messages that carry payload prefixes in order to indicate the encapsulation protocol type to be used.

RFC 5520 Preserving Topology Confidentiality in Inter-Domain Path Computation Using a Path-Key-Based Mechanism
 
Authors:R. Bradford, Ed., JP. Vasseur, A. Farrel.
Date:April 2009
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5520
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS)Traffic Engineering (TE) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) may be computed by Path Computation Elements (PCEs). Where the TE LSP crosses multiple domains, such as Autonomous Systems (ASes), the path may be computed by multiple PCEs that cooperate, with each responsible for computing a segment of the path. However, in some cases (e.g., whenASes are administered by separate Service Providers), it would break confidentiality rules for a PCE to supply a path segment to a PCE in another domain, thus disclosing AS-internal topology information.This issue may be circumvented by returning a loose hop and by invoking a new path computation from the domain boundary LabelSwitching Router (LSR) during TE LSP setup as the signaling message enters the second domain, but this technique has several issues including the problem of maintaining path diversity.

This document defines a mechanism to hide the contents of a segment of a path, called the Confidential Path Segment (CPS). The CPS may be replaced by a path-key that can be conveyed in the PCECommunication Protocol (PCEP) and signaled within in a ResourceReservation Protocol TE (RSVP-TE) explicit route object.

 
RFC 5521 Extensions to the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) for Route Exclusions

DOI:10.17487/RFC 5521
The Path Computation Element (PCE) provides functions of path computation in support of traffic engineering (TE) in Multi-ProtocolLabel Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) networks.

When a Path Computation Client (PCC) requests a PCE for a route, it may be useful for the PCC to specify, as constraints to the path computation, abstract nodes, resources, and Shared Risk Link Groups(SRLGs) that are to be explicitly excluded from the computed route.Such constraints are termed "route exclusions".

The PCE Communication Protocol (PCEP) is designed as a communication protocol between PCCs and PCEs. This document presents PCEP extensions for route exclusions.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 5533
This document defines the Shim6 protocol, a layer 3 shim for providing locator agility below the transport protocols, so that multihoming can be provided for IPv6 with failover and load-sharing properties, without assuming that a multihomed site will have a provider-independent IPv6 address prefix announced in the global IPv6 routing table. The hosts in a site that has multiple provider- allocated IPv6 address prefixes will use the Shim6 protocol specified in this document to set up state with peer hosts so that the state can later be used to failover to a different locator pair, should the original one stop working.

RFC 5535 Hash-Based Addresses (HBA)

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5535
This memo describes a mechanism to provide a secure binding between the multiple addresses with different prefixes available to a host within a multihomed site. This mechanism employs eitherCryptographically Generated Addresses (CGAs) or a new variant of the same theme that uses the same format in the addresses. The main idea in the new variant is that information about the multiple prefixes is included within the addresses themselves. This is achieved by generating the interface identifiers of the addresses of a host as hashes of the available prefixes and a random number. Then, the multiple addresses are generated by prepending the different prefixes to the generated interface identifiers. The result is a set of addresses, called Hash-Based Addresses (HBAs), that are inherently bound to each other.

RFC 5541 Encoding of Objective Functions in the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP)
 
Authors:JL. Le Roux, JP. Vasseur, Y. Lee.
Date:June 2009
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5541
The computation of one or a set of Traffic Engineering Label SwitchedPaths (TE LSPs) in MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) andGeneralized MPLS (GMPLS) networks is subject to a set of one or more specific optimization criteria, referred to as objective functions(e.g., minimum cost path, widest path, etc.).

In the Path Computation Element (PCE) architecture, a PathComputation Client (PCC) may want a path to be computed for one or more TE LSPs according to a specific objective function. Thus, thePCC needs to instruct the PCE to use the correct objective function.Furthermore, it is possible that not all PCEs support the same set of objective functions; therefore, it is useful for the PCC to be able to automatically discover the set of objective functions supported by each PCE.

This document defines extensions to the PCE communication Protocol(PCEP) to allow a PCE to indicate the set of objective functions it supports. Extensions are also defined so that a PCC can indicate in a path computation request the required objective function, and a PCE can report in a path computation reply the objective function that was used for path computation.

This document defines objective function code types for six objective functions previously listed in the PCE requirements work, and provides the definition of four new metric types that apply to a set of synchronized requests.

Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) specifies that the set of network-layer protocols to which the address carried in the Next Hop field may belong is determined by the Address Family Identifier (AFI) and theSubsequent Address Family Identifier (SAFI). The current AFI/SAFI definitions for the IPv4 address family only have provisions for advertising a Next Hop address that belongs to the IPv4 protocol when advertising IPv4 Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) orVPN-IPv4 NLRI. This document specifies the extensions necessary to allow advertising IPv4 NLRI or VPN-IPv4 NLRI with a Next Hop address that belongs to the IPv6 protocol. This comprises an extension of the AFI/SAFI definitions to allow the address of the Next Hop forIPv4 NLRI or VPN-IPv4 NLRI to also belong to the IPv6 protocol, the encoding of the Next Hop in order to determine which of the protocols the address actually belongs to, and a new BGP Capability allowingMP-BGP Peers to dynamically discover whether they can exchange IPv4NLRI and VPN-IPv4 NLRI with an IPv6 Next Hop.

The paths taken by Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) andGeneralized MPLS (GMPLS) Traffic Engineering (TE) Label SwitchedPaths (LSPs) may be computed by Path Computation Elements (PCEs).Where the TE LSP crosses multiple domains, such as Autonomous Systems(ASes), the path may be computed by multiple PCEs that cooperate, with each responsible for computing a segment of the path.

To preserve confidentiality of topology within each AS, the PCEs support a mechanism to hide the contents of a segment of a path (such as the segment of the path that traverses an AS), called theConfidential Path Segment (CPS), by encoding the contents as a PathKey Subobject (PKS) and embedding this subobject within the result of its path computation.

This document describes how to carry Path Key Subobjects in theResource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) Explicit Route Objects (EROs) and Record Route Objects (RROs) so as to facilitate confidentiality in the signaling of inter-domain TE LSPs.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 5557
The Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) allowsPath Computation Clients (PCCs) to request path computations fromPath Computation Elements (PCEs), and lets the PCEs return responses.When computing or reoptimizing the routes of a set of TrafficEngineering Label Switched Paths (TE LSPs) through a network, it may be advantageous to perform bulk path computations in order to avoid blocking problems and to achieve more optimal network-wide solutions.Such bulk optimization is termed Global Concurrent Optimization(GCO). A GCO is able to simultaneously consider the entire topology of the network and the complete set of existing TE LSPs, and their respective constraints, and look to optimize or reoptimize the entire network to satisfy all constraints for all TE LSPs. A GCO may also be applied to some subset of the TE LSPs in a network. The GCO application is primarily a Network Management System (NMS) solution.

This document provides application-specific requirements and the PCEP extensions in support of GCO applications.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5560
When a packet is sent from one host to the other, one normally expects that exactly one copy of the packet that was sent arrives at the destination. It is, however, possible that a packet is either lost or that multiple copies arrive.

In earlier work, a metric for packet loss was defined. This metric quantifies the case where a packet that is sent does not arrive at its destination within a reasonable time. In this memo, a metric for another case is defined: a packet is sent, but multiple copies arrive. The document also discusses streams and methods to summarize the results of streams.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5565
The Internet needs to be able to handle both IPv4 and IPv6 packets.However, it is expected that some constituent networks of theInternet will be "single-protocol" networks. One kind of single- protocol network can parse only IPv4 packets and can process onlyIPv4 routing information; another kind can parse only IPv6 packets and can process only IPv6 routing information. It is nevertheless required that either kind of single-protocol network be able to provide transit service for the "other" protocol. This is done by passing the "other kind" of routing information from one edge of the single-protocol network to the other, and by tunneling the "other kind" of data packet from one edge to the other. The tunnels are known as "softwires". This framework document explains how the routing information and the data packets of one protocol are passed through a single-protocol network of the other protocol. The document is careful to specify when this can be done with existing technology and when it requires the development of new or modified technology.

Updated by:RFC 7411
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5568
Mobile IPv6 enables a mobile node (MN) to maintain its connectivity to the Internet when moving from one Access Router to another, a process referred to as handover. During handover, there is a period during which the mobile node is unable to send or receive packets because of link-switching delay and IP protocol operations. This"handover latency" resulting from standard Mobile IPv6 procedures(namely, movement detection, new Care-of Address configuration, andBinding Update) is often unacceptable to real-time traffic such asVoice over IP (VoIP). Reducing the handover latency could be beneficial to non-real-time, throughput-sensitive applications as well. This document specifies a protocol to improve handover latency due to Mobile IPv6 procedures. This document does not address improving the link-switching latency.

This document updates the packet formats for the Handover Initiate(HI) and Handover Acknowledge (HAck) messages to the Mobility HeaderType.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 5575
This document defines a new Border Gateway Protocol Network LayerReachability Information (BGP NLRI) encoding format that can be used to distribute traffic flow specifications. This allows the routing system to propagate information regarding more specific components of the traffic aggregate defined by an IP destination prefix.

Additionally, it defines two applications of that encoding format: one that can be used to automate inter-domain coordination of traffic filtering, such as what is required in order to mitigate(distributed) denial-of-service attacks, and a second application to provide traffic filtering in the context of a BGP/MPLS VPN service.

The information is carried via the BGP, thereby reusing protocol algorithms, operational experience, and administrative processes such as inter-provider peering agreements.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5626
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) allows proxy servers to initiate TCP connections or to send asynchronous UDP datagrams toUser Agents in order to deliver requests. However, in a large number of real deployments, many practical considerations, such as the existence of firewalls and Network Address Translators (NATs) or the use of TLS with server-provided certificates, prevent servers from connecting to User Agents in this way. This specification defines behaviors for User Agents, registrars, and proxy servers that allow requests to be delivered on existing connections established by theUser Agent. It also defines keep-alive behaviors needed to keep NAT bindings open and specifies the usage of multiple connections from the User Agent to its registrar.

RFC 3680 defines a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) event package for registration state. This package allows a watcher to learn about information stored by a SIP registrar, including its registered contact.

However, the registered contact is frequently unreachable and thus not useful for watchers. The Globally Routable User Agent URI(GRUU), defined in RFC 5627, is a URI that is capable of reaching a particular contact. However this URI is not included in the document format defined in RFC 3680. This specification defines an extension to the registration event package to include GRUUs assigned by the registrar.

 
RFC 5629 A Framework for Application Interaction in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
 
Authors:J. Rosenberg.
Date:October 2009
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5629
This document describes a framework for the interaction between users and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based applications. By interacting with applications, users can guide the way in which they operate. The focus of this framework is stimulus signaling, which allows a user agent (UA) to interact with an application without knowledge of the semantics of that application. Stimulus signaling can occur to a user interface running locally with the client, or to a remote user interface, through media streams. Stimulus signaling encompasses a wide range of mechanisms, ranging from clicking on hyperlinks, to pressing buttons, to traditional Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) input. In all cases, stimulus signaling is supported through the use of markup languages, which play a key role in this framework.

Updated by:RFC 9012
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5640
Payloads transported over a Softwire mesh service (as defined by BGPEncapsulation Subsequent Address Family Identifier (SAFI) information exchange) often carry a number of identifiable, distinct flows. It can, in some circumstances, be desirable to distribute these flows over the equal cost multiple paths (ECMPs) that exist in the packet switched network. Currently, the payload of a packet entering theSoftwire can only be interpreted by the ingress and egress routers.Thus, the load-balancing decision of a core router is only based on the encapsulating header, presenting much less entropy than available in the payload or the encapsulated header since the Softwire encapsulation acts in a tunneling fashion. This document describes a method for achieving comparable load-balancing efficiency in a network carrying Softwire mesh service over Layer Two TunnelingProtocol - Version 3 (L2TPv3) over IP or Generic RoutingEncapsulation (GRE) encapsulation to what would be achieved without such encapsulation.

This memo defines two new categories of metrics that extend the coverage to multiple measurement points. It defines spatial metrics for measuring the performance of segments of a source to destination path, and metrics for measuring the performance between a source and many destinations in multiparty communications (e.g., a multicast tree).
 
RFC 5648 Multiple Care-of Addresses Registration
 
Authors:R. Wakikawa, Ed., V. Devarapalli, G. Tsirtsis, T. Ernst, K. Nagami.
Date:October 2009

Updated by:RFC 6089
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5648
According to the current Mobile IPv6 specification, a mobile node may have several care-of addresses but only one, called the primary care-of address, can be registered with its home agent and the correspondent nodes. However, for matters of cost, bandwidth, delay, etc, it is useful for the mobile node to get Internet access through multiple accesses simultaneously, in which case the mobile node would be configured with multiple active IPv6 care-of addresses. This document proposes extensions to the Mobile IPv6 protocol to register and use multiple care-of addresses. The extensions proposed in this document can be used by mobile routers using the NEMO (NetworkMobility) Basic Support protocol as well.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5653
The Generic Security Services Application Program Interface (GSS-API) offers application programmers uniform access to security services atop a variety of underlying cryptographic mechanisms. This document updates the Java bindings for the GSS-API that are specified in"Generic Security Service API Version 2 : Java Bindings" (RFC 2853).This document obsoletes RFC 2853 by making specific and incremental clarifications and corrections to it in response to identification of transcription errors and implementation experience.

The GSS-API is described at a language-independent conceptual level in "Generic Security Service Application Program Interface Version 2,Update 1" (RFC 2743). The GSS-API allows a caller application to authenticate a principal identity, to delegate rights to a peer, and to apply security services such as confidentiality and integrity on a per-message basis. Examples of security mechanisms defined for GSS-API are "The Simple Public-Key GSS-API Mechanism" (RFC 2025) and "TheKerberos Version 5 Generic Security Service Application ProgramInterface (GSS-API) Mechanism: Version 2" (RFC 4121).

This document specifies the requirements of an MPLS Transport Profile(MPLS-TP). This document is a product of a joint effort of theInternational Telecommunications Union (ITU) and IETF to include anMPLS Transport Profile within the IETF MPLS and PWE3 architectures to support the capabilities and functionalities of a packet transport network as defined by International Telecommunications Union -Telecommunications Standardization Sector (ITU-T).

This work is based on two sources of requirements: MPLS and PWE3 architectures as defined by IETF, and packet transport networks as defined by ITU-T.

The requirements expressed in this document are for the behavior of the protocol mechanisms and procedures that constitute building blocks out of which the MPLS Transport Profile is constructed. The requirements are not implementation requirements.

RFC 5658 Addressing Record-Route Issues in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
 
Authors:T. Froment, C. Lebel, B. Bonnaerens.
Date:October 2009
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5658
A typical function of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Proxy is to insert a Record-Route header into initial, dialog-creating requests in order to make subsequent, in-dialog requests pass through it.This header contains a SIP Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) or SIPS(secure SIP) URI indicating where and how the subsequent requests should be sent to reach the proxy. These SIP or SIPS URIs can contain IPv4 or IPv6 addresses and URI parameters that could influence the routing such as the transport parameter (for example, transport=tcp), or a compression indication like "comp=sigcomp".When a proxy has to change some of those parameters between its incoming and outgoing interfaces (multi-homed proxies, transport protocol switching, or IPv4 to IPv6 scenarios, etc.), the question arises on what should be put in Record-Route header(s). It is not possible to make one header have the characteristics of both interfaces at the same time. This document aims to clarify these scenarios and fix bugs already identified on this topic; it formally recommends the use of the double Record-Route technique as an alternative to the current RFC 3261 text, which describes only aRecord-Route rewriting solution.
 
RFC 5660 IPsec Channels: Connection Latching
 
Authors:N. Williams.
Date:October 2009
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5660
This document specifies, abstractly, how to interface applications and transport protocols with IPsec so as to create "channels" by latching "connections" (packet flows) to certain IPsec SecurityAssociation (SA) parameters for the lifetime of the connections.Connection latching is layered on top of IPsec and does not modify the underlying IPsec architecture.

Connection latching can be used to protect applications against accidentally exposing live packet flows to unintended peers, whether as the result of a reconfiguration of IPsec or as the result of using weak peer identity to peer address associations. Weak association of peer ID and peer addresses is at the core of Better Than NothingSecurity (BTNS); thus, connection latching can add a significant measure of protection to BTNS IPsec nodes.

Finally, the availability of IPsec channels will make it possible to use channel binding to IPsec channels.

Parallel NFS (pNFS) extends Network File Sharing version 4 (NFSv4) to allow clients to directly access file data on the storage used by theNFSv4 server. This ability to bypass the server for data access can increase both performance and parallelism, but requires additional client functionality for data access, some of which is dependent on the class of storage used. The main pNFS operations document specifies storage-class-independent extensions to NFS; this document specifies the additional extensions (primarily data structures) for use of pNFS with block- and volume-based storage.

RFC 5670 Metering and Marking Behaviour of PCN-Nodes
 
Authors:P. Eardley, Ed..
Date:November 2009
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5670
The objective of Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) is to protect the quality of service (QoS) of inelastic flows within a Diffserv domain in a simple, scalable, and robust fashion. This document defines the two metering and marking behaviours of PCN-nodes. Threshold-metering and -marking marks all PCN-packets if the rate of PCN-traffic is greater than a configured rate ("PCN-threshold-rate"). Excess- traffic-metering and -marking marks a proportion of PCN-packets, such that the amount marked equals the rate of PCN-traffic in excess of a configured rate ("PCN-excess-rate"). The level of marking allowsPCN-boundary-nodes to make decisions about whether to admit or terminate PCN-flows.

RFC 5682 Forward RTO-Recovery (F-RTO): An Algorithm for Detecting Spurious Retransmission Timeouts with TCP
 
Authors:P. Sarolahti, M. Kojo, K. Yamamoto, M. Hata.
Date:September 2009
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 4138
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5682
The purpose of this document is to move the F-RTO (ForwardRTO-Recovery) functionality for TCP in RFC 4138 fromExperimental to Standards Track status. The F-RTO support for StreamControl Transmission Protocol (SCTP) in RFC 4138 remains withExperimental status. See Appendix B for the differences between this document and RFC 4138.

Spurious retransmission timeouts cause suboptimal TCP performance because they often result in unnecessary retransmission of the last window of data. This document describes the F-RTO detection algorithm for detecting spurious TCP retransmission timeouts. F-RTO is a TCP sender-only algorithm that does not require any TCP options to operate. After retransmitting the first unacknowledged segment triggered by a timeout, the F-RTO algorithm of the TCP sender monitors the incoming acknowledgments to determine whether the timeout was spurious. It then decides whether to send new segments or retransmit unacknowledged segments. The algorithm effectively helps to avoid additional unnecessary retransmissions and thereby improves TCP performance in the case of a spurious timeout.

RFC 5688 A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Media Feature Tag for MIME Application Subtypes
 
Authors:J. Rosenberg.
Date:January 2010
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5688
The caller preferences specification for the Session InitiationProtocol (SIP) allows a caller to express preferences that the call be routed to a User Agent (UA) with particular capabilities.Similarly, a specification exists to allow a UA to indicate its capabilities in a registration. Amongst those capabilities are the type of media streams the agent supports, described as top-level MIME types. The 'application' MIME type is used to describe a broad range of stream types, and it provides insufficient granularity as a capability. This specification allows a UA to indicate which application subtypes the agent supports.

RFC 5692 Transmission of IP over Ethernet over IEEE 802.16 Networks
 
Authors:H. Jeon, S. Jeong, M. Riegel.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5692
This document describes the transmission of IPv4 over Ethernet, as well as IPv6 over Ethernet, in an access network deploying the IEEE802.16 cellular radio transmission technology. The Ethernet on top of IEEE 802.16 is realized by bridging connections that IEEE 802.16 provides between a base station and its associated subscriber stations. Due to the resource constraints of radio transmission systems and the limitations of the IEEE 802.16 Media Access Control(MAC) functionality for the realization of an Ethernet, the transmission of IP over Ethernet over IEEE 802.16 may considerably benefit by adding IP-specific support functions in the Ethernet overIEEE 802.16 while maintaining full compatibility with standard IP over Ethernet behavior.
 
RFC 5696 Baseline Encoding and Transport of Pre-Congestion Information
 
Authors:T. Moncaster, B. Briscoe, M. Menth.
Date:November 2009
Formats:txt html json
Obsoleted by:RFC 6660
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5696
The objective of the Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) architecture is to protect the quality of service (QoS) of inelastic flows within a Diffserv domain. It achieves this by marking packets belonging toPCN-flows when the rate of traffic exceeds certain configured thresholds on links in the domain. These marks can then be evaluated to determine how close the domain is to being congested. This document specifies how such marks are encoded into the IP header by redefining the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) codepoints within such domains. The baseline encoding described here provides only two PCN encoding states: Not-marked and PCN-marked. Future extensions to this encoding may be needed in order to provide more than one level of marking severity.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5701
Current specifications of BGP Extended Communities (RFC 4360) support the IPv4 Address Specific Extended Community, but do not support anIPv6 Address Specific Extended Community. The lack of an IPv6Address Specific Extended Community may be a problem when an application uses the IPv4 Address Specific Extended Community, and one wants to use this application in a pure IPv6 environment. This document defines a new BGP attribute, the IPv6 Address SpecificExtended Community, that addresses this problem. The IPv6 AddressSpecific Extended Community is similar to the IPv4 Address SpecificExtended Community, except that it carries an IPv6 address rather than an IPv4 address.

RFC 5710 PathErr Message Triggered MPLS and GMPLS LSP Reroutes
 
Authors:L. Berger, D. Papadimitriou, JP. Vasseur.
Date:January 2010
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5710
This document describes how Resource ReserVation Protocol (RSVP)PathErr messages may be used to trigger rerouting of Multi-ProtocolLabel Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) point-to-pointTraffic Engineering (TE) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) without first removing LSP state or resources. Such LSP rerouting may be desirable in a number of cases, including, for example, soft-preemption and graceful shutdown. This document describes the usage of existingStandards Track mechanisms to support LSP rerouting. In this case, it relies on mechanisms already defined as part of RSVP-TE and simply describes a sequence of actions to be executed. While existing protocol definitions can be used to support reroute applications, this document also defines a new reroute-specific error code to allow for the future definition of reroute-application-specific error values.
 
RFC 5711 Node Behavior upon Originating and Receiving Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) Path Error Messages

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5711
The aim of this document is to describe a common practice with regard to the behavior of nodes that send and receive a Resource ReservationProtocol (RSVP) Traffic Engineering (TE) Path Error messages for a preempted Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) or Generalized MPLS(GMPLS) Traffic Engineering Label Switched Path (TE LSP). (For reference to the notion of TE LSP preemption, see RFC 3209.) This document does not define any new protocol extensions.
 
RFC 5712 MPLS Traffic Engineering Soft Preemption
 
Authors:M. Meyer, Ed., JP. Vasseur, Ed..
Date:January 2010
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5712
This document specifies Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) TrafficEngineering Soft Preemption, a suite of protocol modifications extending the concept of preemption with the goal of reducing or eliminating traffic disruption of preempted Traffic Engineering LabelSwitched Paths (TE LSPs). Initially, MPLS RSVP-TE was defined with support for only immediate TE LSP displacement upon preemption. The utilization of a reroute request notification helps more gracefully mitigate the reroute process of preempted TE LSP. For the brief period soft preemption is activated, reservations (though not necessarily traffic levels) are in effect under-provisioned until theTE LSP(s) can be rerouted. For this reason, the feature is primarily, but not exclusively, interesting in MPLS-enabled IP networks with Differentiated Services and Traffic Engineering capabilities.

RFC 5718 An In-Band Data Communication Network For the MPLS Transport Profile
 
Authors:D. Beller, A. Farrel.
Date:January 2010
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5718
The Generic Associated Channel (G-ACh) has been defined as a generalization of the pseudowire (PW) associated control channel to enable the realization of a control/communication channel that is associated with Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label SwitchedPaths (LSPs), MPLS PWs, MPLS LSP segments, and MPLS sections between adjacent MPLS-capable devices.

The MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is a profile of the MPLS architecture that identifies elements of the MPLS toolkit that may be combined to build a carrier-grade packet transport network based onMPLS packet switching technology.

This document describes how the G-ACh may be used to provide the infrastructure that forms part of the Management CommunicationNetwork (MCN) and a Signaling Communication Network (SCN).Collectively, the MCN and SCN may be referred to as the DataCommunication Network (DCN). This document explains how MCN and SCN messages are encapsulated, carried on the G-ACh, and demultiplexed for delivery to the management or signaling/routing control plane components on an MPLS-TP node.

 
RFC 5719 Updated IANA Considerations for Diameter Command Code Allocations
 
Authors:D. Romascanu, H. Tschofenig.
Date:January 2010

Obsoleted by:RFC 6733
Updates:RFC 3588
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5719
The Diameter base specification, described in RFC 3588, provides a number of ways to extend Diameter, with new Diameter commands (i.e., messages used by Diameter applications) and applications as the most extensive enhancements. RFC 3588 illustrates the conditions that lead to the need to define a new Diameter application or a new command code. Depending on the scope of the Diameter extension, IETF actions are necessary. Although defining new Diameter applications does not require IETF consensus, defining new Diameter commands requires IETF consensus per RFC 3588. This has led to questionable design decisions by other Standards Development Organizations, which chose to define new applications on existing commands -- rather than asking for assignment of new command codes -- for the pure purpose of avoiding bringing their specifications to the IETF. In some cases, interoperability problems were an effect of the poor design caused by overloading existing commands.

This document aligns the extensibility rules of the Diameter application with the Diameter commands, offering ways to delegate work on Diameter to other SDOs to extend Diameter in a way that does not lead to poor design choices.

RFC 5723 Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2 (IKEv2) Session Resumption
 
Authors:Y. Sheffer, H. Tschofenig.
Date:January 2010
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5723
The Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) protocol has a certain computational and communication overhead with respect to the number of round trips required and the cryptographic operations involved.In remote access situations, the Extensible Authentication Protocol(EAP) is used for authentication, which adds several more round trips and consequently latency.

To re-establish security associations (SAs) upon a failure recovery condition is time consuming especially when an IPsec peer (such as aVPN gateway) needs to re-establish a large number of SAs with various endpoints. A high number of concurrent sessions might cause additional problems for an IPsec peer during SA re-establishment.

In order to avoid the need to re-run the key exchange protocol from scratch, it would be useful to provide an efficient way to resume anIKE/IPsec session. This document proposes an extension to IKEv2 that allows a client to re-establish an IKE SA with a gateway in a highly efficient manner, utilizing a previously established IKE SA.

A client can reconnect to a gateway from which it was disconnected.The proposed approach encodes partial IKE state into an opaque ticket, which can be stored on the client or in a centralized store, and is later made available to the IKEv2 responder for re- authentication. We use the term ticket to refer to the opaque data that is created by the IKEv2 responder. This document does not specify the format of the ticket but examples are provided.

RFC 5725 Post-Repair Loss RLE Report Block Type for RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Extended Reports (XRs)
 
Authors:A. Begen, D. Hsu, M. Lague.
Date:February 2010
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5725
This document defines a new report block type within the framework ofRTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Extended Reports (XRs). One of the initial XR report block types is the Loss Run Length Encoding (RLE)Report Block. This report conveys information regarding the individual Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) packet receipt and loss events experienced during the RTCP interval preceding the transmission of the report. The new report, which is referred to as the Post-repair Loss RLE report, carries information regarding the packets that remain lost after all loss-repair methods are applied.By comparing the RTP packet receipts/losses before and after the loss repair is completed, one can determine the effectiveness of the loss- repair methods in an aggregated fashion. This document also defines the signaling of the Post-repair Loss RLE report in the SessionDescription Protocol (SDP).

Formats:txt html json
Obsoletes:RFC 3940
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5740
This document describes the messages and procedures of the Negative-ACKnowledgment (NACK) Oriented Reliable Multicast (NORM) protocol.This protocol can provide end-to-end reliable transport of bulk data objects or streams over generic IP multicast routing and forwarding services. NORM uses a selective, negative acknowledgment mechanism for transport reliability and offers additional protocol mechanisms to allow for operation with minimal a priori coordination among senders and receivers. A congestion control scheme is specified to allow the NORM protocol to fairly share available network bandwidth with other transport protocols such as Transmission Control Protocol(TCP). It is capable of operating with both reciprocal multicast routing among senders and receivers and with asymmetric connectivity(possibly a unicast return path) between the senders and receivers.The protocol offers a number of features to allow different types of applications or possibly other higher-level transport protocols to utilize its service in different ways. The protocol leverages the use of FEC-based (forward error correction) repair and other IETFReliable Multicast Transport (RMT) building blocks in its design.This document obsoletes RFC 3940.
 
RFC 5746 Transport Layer Security (TLS) Renegotiation Indication Extension

Updates:RFC 5246, RFC 4366, RFC 4347, RFC 4346, RFC 2246
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5746
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) renegotiation are vulnerable to an attack in which the attacker forms a TLS connection with the target server, injects content of his choice, and then splices in a new TLS connection from a client. The server treats the client's initial TLS handshake as a renegotiation and thus believes that the initial data transmitted by the attacker is from the same entity as the subsequent client data. This specification defines a TLS extension to cryptographically tie renegotiations to the TLS connections they are being performed over, thus preventing this attack.
 
RFC 5749 Distribution of EAP-Based Keys for Handover and Re-Authentication

Date:March 2010
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5749
This document describes an abstract mechanism for delivering root keys from an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) server to another network server that requires the keys for offering security protected services, such as re-authentication, to an EAP peer. The distributed root key can be either a usage-specific root key (USRK), a domain-specific root key (DSRK), or a domain-specific usage- specific root key (DSUSRK) that has been derived from an ExtendedMaster Session Key (EMSK) hierarchy previously established between the EAP server and an EAP peer. This document defines a template for a key distribution exchange (KDE) protocol that can distribute these different types of root keys using a AAA (Authentication,Authorization, and Accounting) protocol and discusses its security requirements. The described protocol template does not specify message formats, data encoding, or other implementation details. It thus needs to be instantiated with a specific protocol (e.g., RADIUS or Diameter) before it can be used.

If a host is located behind a NAT, then in certain situations it can be impossible for that host to communicate directly with other hosts(peers). In these situations, it is necessary for the host to use the services of an intermediate node that acts as a communication relay. This specification defines a protocol, called TURN (TraversalUsing Relays around NAT), that allows the host to control the operation of the relay and to exchange packets with its peers using the relay. TURN differs from some other relay control protocols in that it allows a client to communicate with multiple peers using a single relay address.

The TURN protocol was designed to be used as part of the ICE(Interactive Connectivity Establishment) approach to NAT traversal, though it also can be used without ICE.

Date:March 2010
Formats:txt html json
Obsoletes:RFC 4995
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5795
The Robust Header Compression (ROHC) protocol provides an efficient, flexible, and future-proof header compression concept. It is designed to operate efficiently and robustly over various link technologies with different characteristics.

The ROHC framework, along with a set of compression profiles, was initially defined in RFC 3095. To improve and simplify the ROHC specifications, this document explicitly defines the ROHC framework and the profile for uncompressed separately. More specifically, the definition of the framework does not modify or update the definition of the framework specified by RFC 3095.

This specification obsoletes RFC 4995. It fixes one interoperability issue that was erroneously introduced in RFC 4995, and adds some minor clarifications.

An IANA registry of FTP Command andFeature names is established to reduce the likelihood of conflict of names and the consequent ambiguity. This specification establishes that registry.
 
RFC 5798 Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) Version 3 for IPv4 and IPv6
 
Authors:S. Nadas, Ed..
Date:March 2010
Formats:txt html json
Obsoletes:RFC 3768
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5798
This memo defines the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) forIPv4 and IPv6. It is version three (3) of the protocol, and it is based on VRRP (version 2) for IPv4 that is defined in RFC 3768 and in"Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol for IPv6". VRRP specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for a virtual router to one of the VRRP routers on a LAN. The VRRP router controlling the IPv4 or IPv6 address(es) associated with a virtual router is called the Master, and it forwards packets sent to theseIPv4 or IPv6 addresses. VRRP Master routers are configured with virtual IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, and VRRP Backup routers infer the address family of the virtual addresses being carried based on the transport protocol. Within a VRRP router, the virtual routers in each of the IPv4 and IPv6 address families are a domain unto themselves and do not overlap. The election process provides dynamic failover in the forwarding responsibility should the Master become unavailable. For IPv4, the advantage gained from using VRRP is a higher-availability default path without requiring configuration of dynamic routing or router discovery protocols on every end-host. ForIPv6, the advantage gained from using VRRP for IPv6 is a quicker switchover to Backup routers than can be obtained with standard IPv6Neighbor Discovery mechanisms.
 
RFC 5801 Using Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) Mechanisms in Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL): The GS2 Mechanism Family
 
Authors:S. Josefsson, N. Williams.
Date:July 2010
Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 9266
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5801
This document describes how to use a Generic Security ServiceApplication Program Interface (GSS-API) mechanism in the SimpleAuthentication and Security Layer (SASL) framework. This is done by defining a new SASL mechanism family, called GS2. This mechanism family offers a number of improvements over the previous "SASL/GSSAPI" mechanism: it is more general, uses fewer messages for the authentication phase in some cases, and supports negotiable use of channel binding. Only GSS-API mechanisms that support channel binding and mutual authentication are supported.
 
RFC 5802 Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (SCRAM) SASL and GSS-API Mechanisms

Updated by:RFC 7677, RFC 9266
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5802
The secure authentication mechanism most widely deployed and used byInternet application protocols is the transmission of clear-text passwords over a channel protected by Transport Layer Security (TLS).There are some significant security concerns with that mechanism, which could be addressed by the use of a challenge response authentication mechanism protected by TLS. Unfortunately, the challenge response mechanisms presently on the standards track all fail to meet requirements necessary for widespread deployment, and have had success only in limited use.

This specification describes a family of Simple Authentication andSecurity Layer (SASL; RFC 4422) authentication mechanisms called theSalted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (SCRAM), which addresses the security concerns and meets the deployability requirements. When used in combination with TLS or an equivalent security layer, a mechanism from this family could improve the status quo for application protocol authentication and provide a suitable choice for a mandatory-to-implement mechanism for future application protocol standards.

RFC 5814 Label Switched Path (LSP) Dynamic Provisioning Performance Metrics in Generalized MPLS Networks
 
Authors:W. Sun, Ed., G. Zhang, Ed..
Date:March 2010
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5814
Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) is one of the most promising candidate technologies for a future data transmission network. GMPLS has been developed to control and operate different kinds of network elements, such as conventional routers, switches,Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) systems, Add-DropMultiplexers (ADMs), photonic cross-connects (PXCs), optical cross- connects (OXCs), etc. These physically diverse devices differ drastically from one another in dynamic provisioning ability. At the same time, the need for dynamically provisioned connections is increasing because optical networks are being deployed in metro areas. As different applications have varied requirements in the provisioning performance of optical networks, it is imperative to define standardized metrics and procedures such that the performance of networks and application needs can be mapped to each other.

This document provides a series of performance metrics to evaluate the dynamic Label Switched Path (LSP) provisioning performance inGMPLS networks, specifically the dynamic LSP setup/release performance. These metrics can be used to characterize the features of GMPLS networks in LSP dynamic provisioning.

RFC 5839 An Extension to Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Events for Conditional Event Notification
 
Authors:A. Niemi, D. Willis, Ed..
Date:May 2010
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5839
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) events framework enables receiving asynchronous notification of various events from other SIP user agents. This framework defines the procedures for creating, refreshing, and terminating subscriptions, as well as fetching and periodic polling of resource state. These procedures provide no tools to avoid replaying event notifications that have already been received by a user agent. This memo defines an extension to SIP events that allows the subscriber to condition the subscription request to whether the state has changed since the previous notification was received. When such a condition is true, either the body of a resulting event notification or the entire notification message is suppressed.
 
RFC 5840 Wrapped Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) for Traffic Visibility
 
Authors:K. Grewal, G. Montenegro, M. Bhatia.
Date:April 2010
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5840
This document describes the Wrapped Encapsulating Security Payload(WESP) protocol, which builds on the Encapsulating Security Payload(ESP) RFC 4303 and is designed to allow intermediate devices to (1) ascertain if data confidentiality is being employed within ESP, and if not, (2) inspect the IPsec packets for network monitoring and access control functions. Currently, in the IPsec ESP standard, there is no deterministic way to differentiate between encrypted and unencrypted payloads by simply examining a packet. This poses certain challenges to the intermediate devices that need to deep inspect the packet before making a decision on what should be done with that packet (Inspect and/or Allow/Drop). The mechanism described in this document can be used to easily disambiguate integrity-only ESP from ESP-encrypted packets, without compromising on the security provided by ESP.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 5852
In a transport network scenario, Data Plane connections controlled by either a Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) ControlPlane (Soft Permanent Connections - SPC) or a Management System(Permanent Connections - PC) may independently coexist. The ability of transforming an existing PC into an SPC and vice versa -- without actually affecting Data Plane traffic being carried over it -- is a requirement. The requirements for the conversion between permanent connections and switched connections in a GMPLS Network are defined in RFC 5493.

This memo describes an extension to GMPLS Resource ReservationProtocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) signaling that enables the transfer of connection ownership between the Management and theControl Planes. Such a transfer is referred to as a Handover. This document defines all Handover-related procedures. This includes the handling of failure conditions and subsequent reversion to original state. A basic premise of the extension is that the Handover procedures must never impact an already established Data Plane connection.

RFC 5884 Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for MPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs)
 
Authors:R. Aggarwal, K. Kompella, T. Nadeau, G. Swallow.
Date:June 2010

Updates:RFC 1122
Updated by:RFC 7726
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5884
One desirable application of Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is to detect a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label SwitchedPath (LSP) data plane failure. LSP Ping is an existing mechanism for detecting MPLS data plane failures and for verifying the MPLS LSP data plane against the control plane. BFD can be used for the former, but not for the latter. However, the control plane processing required for BFD Control packets is relatively smaller than the processing required for LSP Ping messages. A combination ofLSP Ping and BFD can be used to provide faster data plane failure detection and/or make it possible to provide such detection on a greater number of LSPs. This document describes the applicability ofBFD in relation to LSP Ping for this application. It also describes procedures for using BFD in this environment.

RFC 5886 A Set of Monitoring Tools for Path Computation Element (PCE)-Based Architecture
 
Authors:JP. Vasseur, Ed., JL. Le Roux, Y. Ikejiri.
Date:June 2010
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5886
A Path Computation Element (PCE)-based architecture has been specified for the computation of Traffic Engineering (TE) LabelSwitched Paths (LSPs) in Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) andGeneralized MPLS (GMPLS) networks in the context of single or multiple domains (where a domain refers to a collection of network elements within a common sphere of address management or path computational responsibility such as Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) areas and Autonomous Systems). Path Computation Clients (PCCs) send computation requests to PCEs, and these may forward the requests to and cooperate with other PCEs forming a "path computation chain".

In PCE-based environments, it is thus critical to monitor the state of the path computation chain for troubleshooting and performance monitoring purposes: liveness of each element (PCE) involved in thePCE chain and detection of potential resource contention states and statistics in terms of path computation times are examples of such metrics of interest. This document specifies procedures and extensions to the Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) in order to gather such information.

RFC 5896 Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API): Delegate if Approved by Policy
 
Authors:L. Hornquist Astrand, S. Hartman.
Date:June 2010
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 2743, RFC 2744, RFC 4120, RFC 4121
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5896
Several Generic Security Service Application Program Interface(GSS-API) applications work in a multi-tiered architecture, where the server takes advantage of delegated user credentials to act on behalf of the user and contact additional servers. In effect, the server acts as an agent on behalf of the user. Examples include web applications that need to access e-mail or file servers, includingCIFS (Common Internet File System) file servers. However, delegating the user credentials to a party who is not sufficiently trusted is problematic from a security standpoint. Kerberos provides a flag called OK-AS-DELEGATE that allows the administrator of a Kerberos realm to communicate that a particular service is trusted for delegation. This specification adds support for this flag and similar facilities in other authentication mechanisms to GSS-API (RFC2743).
 
RFC 5898 Connectivity Preconditions for Session Description Protocol (SDP) Media Streams
 
Authors:F. Andreasen, G. Camarillo, D. Oran, D. Wing.
Date:July 2010
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5898
This document defines a new connectivity precondition for the SessionDescription Protocol (SDP) precondition framework. A connectivity precondition can be used to delay session establishment or modification until media stream connectivity has been successfully verified. The method of verification may vary depending on the type of transport used for the media. For unreliable datagram transports such as UDP, verification involves probing the stream with data or control packets. For reliable connection-oriented transports such asTCP, verification can be achieved simply by successful connection establishment or by probing the connection with data or control packets, depending on the situation.

RFC 5923 Connection Reuse in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
 
Authors:V. Gurbani, Ed., R. Mahy, B. Tate.
Date:June 2010
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5923
This document enables a pair of communicating proxies to reuse a congestion-controlled connection between themselves for sending requests in the forwards and backwards direction. Because the connection is essentially aliased for requests going in the backwards direction, reuse is predicated upon both the communicating endpoints authenticating themselves using X.509 certificates through TransportLayer Security (TLS). For this reason, we only consider connection reuse for TLS over TCP and TLS over Stream Control TransmissionProtocol (SCTP). This document also provides guidelines on connection reuse and virtual SIP servers and the interaction of connection reuse and DNS SRV lookups in SIP.
 
RFC 5925 The TCP Authentication Option

Date:June 2010
Formats:txt html json
Obsoletes:RFC 2385
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5925
This document specifies the TCP Authentication Option (TCP-AO), which obsoletes the TCP MD5 Signature option of RFC 2385 (TCP MD5). TCP-AO specifies the use of stronger Message Authentication Codes (MACs), protects against replays even for long-lived TCP connections, and provides more details on the association of security with TCP connections than TCP MD5. TCP-AO is compatible with either a staticMaster Key Tuple (MKT) configuration or an external, out-of-band MKT management mechanism; in either case, TCP-AO also protects connections when using the same MKT across repeated instances of a connection, using traffic keys derived from the MKT, and coordinatesMKT changes between endpoints. The result is intended to support current infrastructure uses of TCP MD5, such as to protect long-lived connections (as used, e.g., in BGP and LDP), and to support a larger set of MACs with minimal other system and operational changes. TCP-AO uses a different option identifier than TCP MD5, even though TCP-AO and TCP MD5 are never permitted to be used simultaneously. TCP-AO supports IPv6, and is fully compatible with the proposed requirements for the replacement of TCP MD5.

The standard means within the Domain Name System protocol for maintaining coherence among a zone's authoritative name servers consists of three mechanisms. Authoritative Transfer (AXFR) is one of the mechanisms and is defined in RFC 1034 and RFC 1035.

The definition of AXFR has proven insufficient in detail, thereby forcing implementations intended to be compliant to make assumptions, impeding interoperability. Yet today we have a satisfactory set of implementations that do interoperate. This document is a new definition of AXFR -- new in the sense that it records an accurate definition of an interoperable AXFR mechanism.

RFC 5939 Session Description Protocol (SDP) Capability Negotiation
 
Authors:F. Andreasen.
Date:September 2010
Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 6871
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5939
The Session Description Protocol (SDP) was intended to describe multimedia sessions for the purposes of session announcement, session invitation, and other forms of multimedia session initiation. SDP was not intended to provide capability indication or capability negotiation; however, over the years, SDP has seen widespread adoption and as a result it has been gradually extended to provide limited support for these, notably in the form of the offer/answer model defined in RFC 3264. SDP does not define how to negotiate one or more alternative transport protocols (e.g., RTP profiles) or attributes. This makes it difficult to deploy new RTP profiles such as Secure RTP or RTP with RTCP-based feedback, negotiate use of different security keying mechanisms, etc. It also presents problems for some forms of media negotiation.

The purpose of this document is to address these shortcomings by extending SDP with capability negotiation parameters and associated offer/answer procedures to use those parameters in a backwards compatible manner.

The document defines a general SDP Capability Negotiation framework.It also specifies how to provide attributes and transport protocols as capabilities and negotiate them using the framework. Extensions for other types of capabilities (e.g., media types and media formats) may be provided in other documents.

RFC 5944 IP Mobility Support for IPv4, Revised
 
Authors:C. Perkins, Ed..
Date:November 2010
Formats:txt json html
Obsoletes:RFC 3344
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5944
This document specifies protocol enhancements that allow transparent routing of IP datagrams to mobile nodes in the Internet. Each mobile node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While situated away from its home, a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which provides information about its current point of attachment to the Internet. The protocol provides for registering the care-of address with a home agent. The home agent sends datagrams destined for the mobile node through a tunnel to the care- of address. After arriving at the end of the tunnel, each datagram is then delivered to the mobile node.
 
RFC 5946 Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) Extensions for Path-Triggered RSVP Receiver Proxy
 
Authors:F. Le Faucheur, J. Manner, A. Narayanan, A. Guillou, H. Malik.
Date:October 2010
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 2205
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5946
Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) signaling can be used to make end-to-end resource reservations in an IP network in order to guarantee the Quality of Service (QoS) required by certain flows.With conventional RSVP, both the data sender and receiver of a given flow take part in RSVP signaling. Yet, there are many use cases where resource reservation is required, but the receiver, the sender, or both, is not RSVP-capable. Where the receiver is not RSVP- capable, an RSVP router may behave as an RSVP Receiver Proxy, thereby performing RSVP signaling on behalf of the receiver. This allows resource reservations to be established on the segment of the end-to- end path from the sender to the RSVP Receiver Proxy. However, as discussed in the companion document "RSVP Proxy Approaches", RSVP extensions are needed to facilitate operations with an RSVP ReceiverProxy whose signaling is triggered by receipt of RSVP Path messages from the sender. This document specifies these extensions.
 
RFC 5948 Transmission of IPv4 Packets over the IP Convergence Sublayer of IEEE 802.16
 
Authors:S. Madanapalli, S. Park, S. Chakrabarti, G. Montenegro.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 5948
IEEE 802.16 is an air interface specification for wireless broadband access. IEEE 802.16 has specified multiple service-specificConvergence Sublayers for transmitting upper-layer protocols. ThePacket CS (Packet Convergence Sublayer) is used for the transport of all packet-based protocols such as the Internet Protocol (IP) andIEEE 802.3 (Ethernet). The IP-specific part of the Packet CS enables the transport of IPv4 packets directly over the IEEE 802.16 MediaAccess Control (MAC) layer.

This document specifies the frame format, the Maximum TransmissionUnit (MTU), and the address assignment procedures for transmittingIPv4 packets over the IP-specific part of the Packet ConvergenceSublayer of IEEE 802.16.

 
RFC 5949 Fast Handovers for Proxy Mobile IPv6
 
Authors:H. Yokota, K. Chowdhury, R. Koodli, B. Patil, F. Xia.
Date:September 2010
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5949
Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6; RFC 3775) provides a mobile node with IP mobility when it performs a handover from one access router to another, and fast handovers for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) are specified to enhance the handover performance in terms of latency and packet loss. WhileMIPv6 (and FMIPv6 as well) requires the participation of the mobile node in the mobility-related signaling, Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6;RFC 5213) provides IP mobility to nodes that either have or do not have MIPv6 functionality without such involvement. Nevertheless, the basic performance of PMIPv6 in terms of handover latency and packet loss is considered no different from that of MIPv6.

When the fast handover is considered in such an environment, several modifications are needed to FMIPv6 to adapt to the network-based mobility management. This document specifies the usage of fast handovers for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6; RFC 5568) when Proxy Mobile IPv6 is used as the mobility management protocol. Necessary extensions are specified for FMIPv6 to support the scenario when the mobile node does not have IP mobility functionality and hence is not involved with either MIPv6 or FMIPv6 operations.

RFC 5952 A Recommendation for IPv6 Address Text Representation
 
Authors:S. Kawamura, M. Kawashima.
Date:August 2010
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 4291
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5952
As IPv6 deployment increases, there will be a dramatic increase in the need to use IPv6 addresses in text. While the IPv6 address architecture in Section 2.2 of RFC 4291 describes a flexible model for text representation of an IPv6 address, this flexibility has been causing problems for operators, system engineers, and users. This document defines a canonical textual representation format. It does not define a format for internal storage, such as within an application or database. It is expected that the canonical format will be followed by humans and systems when representing IPv6 addresses as text, but all implementations must accept and be able to handle any legitimate RFC 4291 format.
 
RFC 5953 Transport Layer Security (TLS) Transport Model for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
 
Authors:W. Hardaker.
Date:August 2010
Formats:txt html json
Obsoleted by:RFC 6353
Updated by:RFC 8996
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5953
This document describes a Transport Model for the Simple NetworkManagement Protocol (SNMP), that uses either the Transport LayerSecurity protocol or the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol. The TLS and DTLS protocols provide authentication and privacy services for SNMP applications. This document describes how the TLS Transport Model (TLSTM) implements the needed features of aSNMP Transport Subsystem to make this protection possible in an interoperable way.

This Transport Model is designed to meet the security and operational needs of network administrators. It supports the sending of SNMP messages over TLS/TCP and DTLS/UDP. The TLS mode can make use ofTCP's improved support for larger packet sizes and the DTLS mode provides potentially superior operation in environments where a connectionless (e.g., UDP) transport is preferred. Both TLS and DTLS integrate well into existing public keying infrastructures.

This document also defines a portion of the Management InformationBase (MIB) for use with network management protocols. In particular, it defines objects for managing the TLS Transport Model for SNMP.

RFC 5961 Improving TCP's Robustness to Blind In-Window Attacks
 
Authors:A. Ramaiah, R. Stewart, M. Dalal.
Date:August 2010
Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 9293
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5961
TCP has historically been considered to be protected against spoofed off-path packet injection attacks by relying on the fact that it is difficult to guess the 4-tuple (the source and destination IP addresses and the source and destination ports) in combination with the 32-bit sequence number(s). A combination of increasing window sizes and applications using longer-term connections (e.g., H-323 orBorder Gateway Protocol (BGP) [RFC4271]) have left modern TCP implementations more vulnerable to these types of spoofed packet injection attacks.

Many of these long-term TCP applications tend to have predictable IP addresses and ports that makes it far easier for the 4-tuple (4-tuple is the same as the socket pair mentioned in RFC 793) to be guessed.Having guessed the 4-tuple correctly, an attacker can inject a TCP segment with the RST bit set, the SYN bit set or data into a TCP connection by systematically guessing the sequence number of the spoofed segment to be in the current receive window. This can cause the connection to abort or cause data corruption. This document specifies small modifications to the way TCP handles inbound segments that can reduce the chances of a successful attack.

RFC 5995 Using POST to Add Members to Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) Collections
 
Authors:J. Reschke.
Date:September 2010
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5995
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Extensions for the WebDistributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) do not define the behavior for the "POST" method when applied to collections, as the base specification (HTTP) leaves implementers lots of freedom for the semantics of "POST".

This has led to a situation where many WebDAV servers do not implement POST for collections at all, although it is well suited to be used for the purpose of adding new members to a collection, where the server remains in control of the newly assigned URL. In fact, the Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) uses POST exactly for that purpose. On the other hand, WebDAV-based protocols, such as theCalendaring Extensions to WebDAV (CalDAV), frequently require clients to pick a unique URL, although the server could easily perform that task.

This specification defines a discovery mechanism through which servers can advertise support for POST requests with the aforementioned "add collection member" semantics.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6015
This document defines a new RTP payload format for the Forward ErrorCorrection (FEC) that is generated by the 1-D interleaved parity code from a source media encapsulated in RTP. The 1-D interleaved parity code is a systematic code, where a number of repair symbols are generated from a set of source symbols and sent in a repair flow separate from the source flow that carries the source symbols. The1-D interleaved parity code offers a good protection against bursty packet losses at a cost of reasonable complexity. The new payload format defined in this document should only be used (with some exceptions) as a part of the Digital Video Broadcasting-IPTV (DVB-IPTV) Application-layer FEC specification.

RFC 4364 and RFC 4659 define an approach to building provider- provisioned Layer 3 VPNs (L3VPNs) for IPv4 and IPv6. It may be desirable to use Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) to perform admission control on the links between Customer Edge (CE) routers andProvider Edge (PE) routers. This document specifies procedures by which RSVP messages traveling from CE to CE across an L3VPN may be appropriately handled by PE routers so that admission control can be performed on PE-CE links. Optionally, admission control across the provider's backbone may also be supported.

RFC 6040 Tunnelling of Explicit Congestion Notification
 
Authors:B. Briscoe.
Date:November 2010
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 3168, RFC 4301, RFC 4774
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6040
This document redefines how the explicit congestion notification(ECN) field of the IP header should be constructed on entry to and exit from any IP-in-IP tunnel. On encapsulation, it updates RFC 3168 to bring all IP-in-IP tunnels (v4 or v6) into line with RFC 4301IPsec ECN processing. On decapsulation, it updates both RFC 3168 andRFC 4301 to add new behaviours for previously unused combinations of inner and outer headers. The new rules ensure the ECN field is correctly propagated across a tunnel whether it is used to signal one or two severity levels of congestion; whereas before, only one severity level was supported. Tunnel endpoints can be updated in any order without affecting pre-existing uses of the ECN field, thus ensuring backward compatibility. Nonetheless, operators wanting to support two severity levels (e.g., for pre-congestion notification --PCN) can require compliance with this new specification. A thorough analysis of the reasoning for these changes and the implications is included. In the unlikely event that the new rules do not meet a specific need, RFC 4774 gives guidance on designing alternate ECN semantics, and this document extends that to include tunnelling issues.

RFC 6051 Rapid Synchronisation of RTP Flows
 
Authors:C. Perkins, T. Schierl.
Date:November 2010
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 3550
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6051
This memo outlines how RTP sessions are synchronised, and discusses how rapidly such synchronisation can occur. We show that most RTP sessions can be synchronised immediately, but that the use of video switching multipoint conference units (MCUs) or large source-specific multicast (SSM) groups can greatly increase the synchronisation delay. This increase in delay can be unacceptable to some applications that use layered and/or multi-description codecs.

This memo introduces three mechanisms to reduce the synchronisation delay for such sessions. First, it updates the RTP Control Protocol(RTCP) timing rules to reduce the initial synchronisation delay forSSM sessions. Second, a new feedback packet is defined for use with the extended RTP profile for RTCP-based feedback (RTP/AVPF), allowing video switching MCUs to rapidly request resynchronisation. Finally, new RTP header extensions are defined to allow rapid synchronisation of late joiners, and guarantee correct timestamp-based decoding order recovery for layered codecs in the presence of clock skew.

In particular, it prevents users from running general-purpose servers from ports obtained from theTURN server.
 
RFC 6063 Dynamic Symmetric Key Provisioning Protocol (DSKPP)
 
Authors:A. Doherty, M. Pei, S. Machani, M. Nystrom.
Date:December 2010
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6063
The Dynamic Symmetric Key Provisioning Protocol (DSKPP) is a client- server protocol for initialization (and configuration) of symmetric keys to locally and remotely accessible cryptographic modules. The protocol can be run with or without private key capabilities in the cryptographic modules and with or without an established public key infrastructure.

Two variations of the protocol support multiple usage scenarios.With the four-pass variant, keys are mutually generated by the provisioning server and cryptographic module; provisioned keys are not transferred over-the-wire or over-the-air. The two-pass variant enables secure and efficient download and installation of pre- generated symmetric keys to a cryptographic module.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6074
Provider Provisioned Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks (L2VPNs) may have different "provisioning models", i.e., models for what information needs to be configured in what entities. Once configured, the provisioning information is distributed by a"discovery process". When the discovery process is complete, a signaling protocol is automatically invoked to set up the mesh of pseudowires (PWs) that form the (virtual) backbone of the L2VPN.This document specifies a number of L2VPN provisioning models, and further specifies the semantic structure of the endpoint identifiers required by each model. It discusses the distribution of these identifiers by the discovery process, especially when discovery is based on the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). It then specifies how the endpoint identifiers are carried in the two signaling protocols that are used to set up PWs, the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), and the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol version 3 (L2TPv3).

The following DSDL schema languages are addressed by the mapping: Regular Language for XML Next Generation (RELAX NG),Schematron, and Schematron and Document Schema Renaming Language(DSRL). The mapping takes one or more YANG modules and produces a set of DSDL schemas for a selected target document type -- datastore content, Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) messages, etc.Procedures for schema-based validation of such documents are also discussed.

RFC 6113 A Generalized Framework for Kerberos Pre-Authentication
 
Authors:S. Hartman, L. Zhu.
Date:April 2011
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 4120
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6113
Kerberos is a protocol for verifying the identity of principals(e.g., a workstation user or a network server) on an open network.The Kerberos protocol provides a facility called pre-authentication.Pre-authentication mechanisms can use this facility to extend theKerberos protocol and prove the identity of a principal.

This document describes a more formal model for this facility. The model describes what state in the Kerberos request a pre- authentication mechanism is likely to change. It also describes how multiple pre-authentication mechanisms used in the same request will interact.

This document also provides common tools needed by multiple pre- authentication mechanisms. One of these tools is a secure channel between the client and the key distribution center with a reply key strengthening mechanism; this secure channel can be used to protect the authentication exchange and thus eliminate offline dictionary attacks. With these tools, it is relatively straightforward to chain multiple authentication mechanisms, utilize a different key management system, or support a new key agreement algorithm.

RFC 6128 RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Port for Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) Sessions
 
Authors:A. Begen.
Date:February 2011
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 5760
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6128
The Session Description Protocol (SDP) has an attribute that allowsRTP applications to specify an address and a port associated with theRTP Control Protocol (RTCP) traffic. In RTP-based source-specific multicast (SSM) sessions, the same attribute is used to designate the address and the RTCP port of the Feedback Target in the SDP description. However, the RTCP port associated with the SSM session itself cannot be specified by the same attribute to avoid ambiguity, and thus, is required to be derived from the "m=" line of the media description. Deriving the RTCP port from the "m=" line imposes an unnecessary restriction. This document removes this restriction by introducing a new SDP attribute.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6134
The Sieve email filtering language can be used to implement email whitelisting, blacklisting, personal distribution lists, and other sorts of list matching. Currently, this requires that all members of such lists be hard-coded in the script itself. Whenever a member of a list is added or deleted, the script needs to be updated and possibly uploaded to a mail server.

This document defines a Sieve extension for accessing externally stored lists -- lists whose members are stored externally to the script, such as using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol(LDAP), the Application Configuration Access Protocol (ACAP), vCardExtensions to WebDAV (CardDAV), or relational databases.

RFC 6140 Registration for Multiple Phone Numbers in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
 
Authors:A.B. Roach.
Date:March 2011
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 3680
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6140
This document defines a mechanism by which a Session InitiationProtocol (SIP) server acting as a traditional Private Branch Exchange(PBX) can register with a SIP Service Provider (SSP) to receive phone calls for SIP User Agents (UAs). In order to function properly, this mechanism requires that each of the Addresses of Record (AORs) registered in bulk map to a unique set of contacts. This requirement is satisfied by AORs representing phone numbers regardless of the domain, since phone numbers are fully qualified and globally unique.This document therefore focuses on this use case.

RFC 6148 DHCPv4 Lease Query by Relay Agent Remote ID
 
Authors:P. Kurapati, R. Desetti, B. Joshi.
Date:February 2011
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 4388
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6148
Some relay agents extract lease information from the DHCP messages exchanged between the client and DHCP server. This lease information is used by relay agents for various purposes like antispoofing and prevention of flooding. RFC 4388 defines a mechanism for relay agents to retrieve the lease information from the DHCP server when this information is lost. The existing lease query mechanism is data-driven, which means that a relay agent can initiate the lease query only when it starts receiving data to and from the clients. In certain scenarios, this model is not scalable. This document first looks at issues in the existing mechanism and then proposes a new query type, query by Remote ID, to address these issues.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 6154
Some IMAP message stores include special-use mailboxes, such as those used to hold draft messages or sent messages. Many mail clients allow users to specify where draft or sent messages should be put, but configuring them requires that the user know which mailboxes the server has set aside for these purposes. This extension adds new optional mailbox attributes that a server may include in IMAP LIST command responses to identify special-use mailboxes to the client, easing configuration.
 
RFC 6155 Use of Device Identity in HTTP-Enabled Location Delivery (HELD)
 
Authors:J. Winterbottom, M. Thomson, H. Tschofenig, R. Barnes.
Date:March 2011
Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 6915
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6155
When a Location Information Server receives a request for location information (using the locationRequest message), described in the base HTTP-Enabled Location Delivery (HELD) specification, it uses the source IP address of the arriving message as a pointer to the location determination process. This is sufficient in environments where the location of a Device can be determined based on its IP address.

Two additional use cases are addressed by this document. In the first, location configuration requires additional or alternative identifiers from the source IP address provided in the request. In the second, an entity other than the Device requests the location of the Device.

This document extends the HELD protocol to allow the location request message to carry Device identifiers. Privacy and security considerations describe the conditions where requests containing identifiers are permitted.

Updates:RFC 3031
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6178
This document specifies how Label Edge Routers (LERs) should behave when determining whether to MPLS encapsulate an IPv4 packet with header options. Lack of a formal standard has resulted in differentLER forwarding behaviors for IPv4 packets with header options despite being associated with a prefix-based Forwarding Equivalence Class(FEC). IPv4 option packets that belong to a prefix-based FEC, yet are forwarded into an IPv4/MPLS network without being MPLS- encapsulated, present a security risk against the MPLS infrastructure. Further, LERs that are unable to MPLS encapsulateIPv4 packets with header options cannot operate in certain MPLS environments. While this newly defined LER behavior is mandatory to implement, it is optional to invoke.

Authors:S. Wenger, Y.-K. Wang, T. Schierl, A. Eleftheriadis.
Date:May 2011
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6190
This memo describes an RTP payload format for Scalable Video Coding(SVC) as defined in Annex G of ITU-T Recommendation H.264, which is technically identical to Amendment 3 of ISO/IEC InternationalStandard 14496-10. The RTP payload format allows for packetization of one or more Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) units in each RTP packet payload, as well as fragmentation of a NAL unit in multipleRTP packets. Furthermore, it supports transmission of an SVC stream over a single as well as multiple RTP sessions. The payload format defines a new media subtype name "H264-SVC", but is still backward compatible to RFC 6184 since the base layer, when encapsulated in its own RTP stream, must use the H.264 media subtype name ("H264") and the packetization method specified in RFC 6184. The payload format has wide applicability in videoconferencing, Internet video streaming, and high-bitrate entertainment-quality video, among others.

RFC 6205 Generalized Labels for Lambda-Switch-Capable (LSC) Label Switching Routers
 
Authors:T. Otani, Ed., D. Li, Ed..
Date:March 2011
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 3471
Updated by:RFC 7699, RFC 8359
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6205
Technology in the optical domain is constantly evolving, and, as a consequence, new equipment providing lambda switching capability has been developed and is currently being deployed.

Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) is a family of protocols that can be used to operate networks built from a range of technologies including wavelength (or lambda) switching. For this purpose, GMPLS defined a wavelength label as only having significance between two neighbors.Global wavelength semantics are not considered.

In order to facilitate interoperability in a network composed of next generation lambda-switch-capable equipment, this document defines a standard lambda label format that is compliant with the DenseWavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) and Coarse WavelengthDivision Multiplexing (CWDM) grids defined by the InternationalTelecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector.The label format defined in this document can be used in GMPLS signaling and routing protocols.

 
RFC 6206 The Trickle Algorithm
 
Authors:P. Levis, T. Clausen, J. Hui, O. Gnawali, J. Ko.
Date:March 2011
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6206
The Trickle algorithm allows nodes in a lossy shared medium (e.g., low-power and lossy networks) to exchange information in a highly robust, energy efficient, simple, and scalable manner. Dynamically adjusting transmission windows allows Trickle to spread new information on the scale of link-layer transmission times while sending only a few messages per hour when information does not change. A simple suppression mechanism and transmission point selection allow Trickle's communication rate to scale logarithmically with density. This document describes the Trickle algorithm and considerations in its use.
 
RFC 6211 Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) Algorithm Identifier Protection Attribute
 
Authors:J. Schaad.
Date:April 2011
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6211
The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS), unlike X.509/PKIX certificates, is vulnerable to algorithm substitution attacks. In an algorithm substitution attack, the attacker changes either the algorithm being used or the parameters of the algorithm in order to change the result of a signature verification process. In X.509 certificates, the signature algorithm is protected because it is duplicated in the TBSCertificate.signature field with the proviso that the validator is to compare both fields as part of the signature validation process. This document defines a new attribute that contains a copy of the relevant algorithm identifiers so that they are protected by the signature or authentication process.

RFC 6222 Guidelines for Choosing RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Canonical Names (CNAMEs)
 
Authors:A. Begen, C. Perkins, D. Wing.

Obsoleted by:RFC 7022
Updates:RFC 3550
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6222
The RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Canonical Name (CNAME) is a persistent transport-level identifier for an RTP endpoint. While theSynchronization Source (SSRC) identifier of an RTP endpoint may change if a collision is detected or when the RTP application is restarted, its RTCP CNAME is meant to stay unchanged, so that RTP endpoints can be uniquely identified and associated with their RTP media streams. For proper functionality, RTCP CNAMEs should be unique within the participants of an RTP session. However, the existing guidelines for choosing the RTCP CNAME provided in the RTP standard are insufficient to achieve this uniqueness. This memo updates those guidelines to allow endpoints to choose unique RTCPCNAMEs.

Each Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) router in a PIM domain that supports Any Source Multicast (ASM) maintainsGroup-to-RP mappings that are used to identify a Rendezvous Point(RP) for a specific multicast group. PIM-SM has defined an algorithm to choose a RP from the Group-to-RP mappings learned using various mechanisms. This algorithm does not consider the PIM mode and the mechanism through which a Group-to-RP mapping was learned.

This document defines a standard algorithm to deterministically choose between several Group-to-RP mappings for a specific group.This document first explains the requirements to extend the Group-to-RP mapping algorithm and then proposes the new algorithm.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6230
This document describes a framework and protocol for application deployment where the application programming logic and media processing are distributed. This implies that application programming logic can seamlessly gain access to appropriate resources that are not co-located on the same physical network entity. The framework uses the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to establish an application-level control mechanism between application servers and associated external servers such as media servers.

The motivation for the creation of this framework is to provide an interface suitable to meet the requirements of a centralized conference system, where the conference system can be distributed, as defined by the XCON working group in the IETF. It is not, however, limited to this scope.

RFC 6243 With-defaults Capability for NETCONF
 
Authors:A. Bierman, B. Lengyel.
Date:June 2011
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6243
The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) defines ways to read and edit configuration data from a NETCONF server. In some cases, part of this data may not be set by the NETCONF client, but rather a default value known to the server is used instead. In many situations the NETCONF client has a priori knowledge about default data, so the NETCONF server does not need to save it in a NETCONF configuration datastore or send it to the client in a retrieval operation reply. In other situations the NETCONF client will need this data from the server. Not all server implementations treat this default data the same way. This document defines a capability-based extension to the NETCONF protocol that allows the NETCONF client to identify how defaults are processed by the server, and also defines new mechanisms for client control of server processing of default data.
 
RFC 6245 Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) Key Extension for Mobile IPv4

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6245
The Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) specification contains a Key field, which MAY contain a value that is used to identify a particular GRE data stream. This specification defines a new MobileIP extension that is used to exchange the value to be used in the GREKey field. This extension further allows the Mobility Agents to set up the necessary protocol interfaces prior to receiving the mobile node traffic. The new extension allows a Foreign Agent to requestGRE tunneling without disturbing the Home Agent behavior specified for Mobile IPv4. GRE tunneling with the Key field allows the operators to have home networks that consist of multiple VirtualPrivate Networks (VPNs), which may have overlapping home addresses.When the tuple <Care of Address, Home Address, and Home AgentAddress&rt; is the same across multiple subscriber sessions, GRE tunneling will provide a means for the Foreign Agent and Home Agent to identify data streams for the individual sessions based on the GRE key. In the absence of this key identifier, the data streams cannot be distinguished from each other -- a significant drawback when usingIP-in-IP tunneling.

Formats:txt html json
Obsoletes:RFC 3775
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6275
This document specifies Mobile IPv6, a protocol that allows nodes to remain reachable while moving around in the IPv6 Internet. Each mobile node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While situated away from its home, a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which provides information about the mobile node's current location. IPv6 packets addressed to a mobile node's home address are transparently routed to its care-of address. The protocol enablesIPv6 nodes to cache the binding of a mobile node's home address with its care-of address, and to then send any packets destined for the mobile node directly to it at this care-of address. To support this operation, Mobile IPv6 defines a new IPv6 protocol and a new destination option. All IPv6 nodes, whether mobile or stationary, can communicate with mobile nodes. This document obsoletes RFC 3775.

RFC 6285 Unicast-Based Rapid Acquisition of Multicast RTP Sessions

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6285
When an RTP receiver joins a multicast session, it may need to acquire and parse certain Reference Information before it can process any data sent in the multicast session. Depending on the join time, length of the Reference Information repetition (or appearance) interval, size of the Reference Information, and the application and transport properties, the time lag before an RTP receiver can usefully consume the multicast data, which we refer to as theAcquisition Delay, varies and can be large. This is an undesirable phenomenon for receivers that frequently switch among different multicast sessions, such as video broadcasts.

In this document, we describe a method using the existing RTP and RTPControl Protocol (RTCP) machinery that reduces the acquisition delay.In this method, an auxiliary unicast RTP session carrying theReference Information to the receiver precedes or accompanies the multicast stream. This unicast RTP flow can be transmitted at a faster than natural bitrate to further accelerate the acquisition.The motivating use case for this capability is multicast applications that carry real-time compressed audio and video. However, this method can also be used in other types of multicast applications where the acquisition delay is long enough to be a problem.

This document describes an extension to the Internet Key ExchangeProtocol version 2 (IKEv2) that allows for faster detection ofSecurity Association (SA) desynchronization using a saved token.

When an IPsec tunnel between two IKEv2 peers is disconnected due to a restart of one peer, it can take as much as several minutes for the other peer to discover that the reboot has occurred, thus delaying recovery. In this text, we propose an extension to the protocol that allows for recovery immediately following the restart.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 6295
This memo describes a Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) payload format for the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) command language. The format encodes all commands that may legally appear on a MIDI 1.0 DIN cable. The format is suitable for interactive applications (such as network musical performance) and content- delivery applications (such as file streaming). The format may be used over unicast and multicast UDP and TCP, and it defines tools for graceful recovery from packet loss. Stream behavior, including theMIDI rendering method, may be customized during session setup.

RFC 6311 Protocol Support for High Availability of IKEv2/IPsec
 
Authors:R. Singh, Ed., G. Kalyani, Y. Nir, Y. Sheffer, D. Zhang.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6311
The IPsec protocol suite is widely used for business-critical network traffic. In order to make IPsec deployments highly available, more scalable, and failure-resistant, they are often implemented as IPsecHigh Availability (HA) clusters. However, there are many issues inIPsec HA clustering, and in particular in Internet Key ExchangeProtocol version 2 (IKEv2) clustering. An earlier document, "IPsecCluster Problem Statement", enumerates the issues encountered in theIKEv2/IPsec HA cluster environment. This document resolves these issues with the least possible change to the protocol.

This document defines an extension to the IKEv2 protocol to solve the main issues of "IPsec Cluster Problem Statement" in the commonly deployed hot standby cluster, and provides implementation advice for other issues. The main issues solved are the synchronization ofIKEv2 Message ID counters, and of IPsec replay counters.

Date:October 2011
Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 7256
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6320
This document describes the Access Node Control Protocol (ANCP).ANCP operates between a Network Access Server (NAS) and an AccessNode (e.g., a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM)) in a multi-service reference architecture in order to perform operations related to Quality of Service, service, and subscribers. Use cases for ANCP are documented in RFC 5851. As well as describing the baseANCP protocol, this document specifies capabilities for DigitalSubscriber Line (DSL) topology discovery, line configuration, and remote line connectivity testing. The design of ANCP allows for protocol extensions in other documents if they are needed to support other use cases and other access technologies.

ANCP is based on the General Switch Management Protocol version 3(GSMPv3) described in RFC 3292, but with many modifications and extensions, to the point that the two protocols are not interoperable. For this reason, ANCP was assigned a separate version number to distinguish it.

Updates:RFC 4342, RFC 5622
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6323
This document specifies an update to the round-trip time (RTT) estimation algorithm used for TFRC (TCP-Friendly Rate Control) congestion control by the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol(DCCP). It updates specifications for the CCID-3 and CCID-4Congestion Control IDs of DCCP.

The update addresses parameter-estimation problems occurring withTFRC-based DCCP congestion control. It uses a recommendation made in the original TFRC specification to avoid the inherent problems of receiver-based RTT sampling, by utilising higher-accuracy RTT samples already available at the sender.

It is integrated into the feature set of DCCP as an end-to-end negotiable extension.

 
RFC 6325 Routing Bridges (RBridges): Base Protocol Specification

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6325
Routing Bridges (RBridges) provide optimal pair-wise forwarding without configuration, safe forwarding even during periods of temporary loops, and support for multipathing of both unicast and multicast traffic. They achieve these goals using IS-IS routing and encapsulation of traffic with a header that includes a hop count.

RBridges are compatible with previous IEEE 802.1 customer bridges as well as IPv4 and IPv6 routers and end nodes. They are as invisible to current IP routers as bridges are and, like routers, they terminate the bridge spanning tree protocol.

The design supports VLANs and the optimization of the distribution of multi-destination frames based on VLAN ID and based on IP-derived multicast groups. It also allows unicast forwarding tables at transit RBridges to be sized according to the number of RBridges(rather than the number of end nodes), which allows their forwarding tables to be substantially smaller than in conventional customer bridges.

Updated by:RFC 7180
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6327
The IETF TRILL (TRansparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) protocol provides optimal pair-wise data forwarding without configuration, safe forwarding even during periods of temporary loops, and support for multipathing of both unicast and multicast traffic. TRILL accomplishes this by using IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System) link state routing and by encapsulating traffic using a header that includes a hop count. Devices that implement TRILL are called Routing Bridges (RBridges).

TRILL supports multi-access LAN (Local Area Network) links that can have multiple end stations and RBridges attached. This document describes four aspects of the TRILL LAN Hello protocol used on such links, particularly adjacency, designated RBridge selection, and MTU(Maximum Transmission Unit) and pseudonode procedures, with state machines. There is no change for IS-IS point-to-point Hellos used on links configured as point-to-point in TRILL.

 
RFC 6329 IS-IS Extensions Supporting IEEE 802.1aq Shortest Path Bridging

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6329
802.1aq Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) has been standardized by theIEEE as the next step in the evolution of the various spanning tree and registration protocols. 802.1aq allows for true shortest path forwarding in a mesh Ethernet network context utilizing multiple equal cost paths. This permits it to support much larger Layer 2 topologies, with faster convergence, and vastly improved use of the mesh topology. Combined with this is single point provisioning for logical connectivity membership, which includes point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint variations. This memo documents the IS-IS changes required to support this IEEE protocol and provides some context and examples.
 
RFC 6330 RaptorQ Forward Error Correction Scheme for Object Delivery
 
Authors:M. Luby, A. Shokrollahi, M. Watson, T. Stockhammer, L. Minder.
Date:August 2011
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6330
This document describes a Fully-Specified Forward Error Correction(FEC) scheme, corresponding to FEC Encoding ID 6, for the RaptorQ FEC code and its application to reliable delivery of data objects.

RaptorQ codes are a new family of codes that provide superior flexibility, support for larger source block sizes, and better coding efficiency than Raptor codes in RFC 5053. RaptorQ is also a fountain code, i.e., as many encoding symbols as needed can be generated on the fly by the encoder from the source symbols of a source block of data. The decoder is able to recover the source block from almost any set of encoding symbols of sufficient cardinality -- in most cases, a set of cardinality equal to the number of source symbols is sufficient; in rare cases, a set of cardinality slightly more than the number of source symbols is required.

The RaptorQ code described here is a systematic code, meaning that all the source symbols are among the encoding symbols that can be generated.

 
RFC 6332 Multicast Acquisition Report Block Type for RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Extended Reports (XRs)
 
Authors:A. Begen, E. Friedrich.
Date:July 2011
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6332
In most RTP-based multicast applications, the RTP source sends inter- related data. Due to this interdependency, randomly joining RTP receivers usually cannot start consuming the multicast data right after they join the session. Thus, they often experience a random acquisition delay. An RTP receiver can use one or more different approaches to achieve rapid acquisition. Yet, due to various factors, performance of the rapid acquisition methods usually varies.Furthermore, in some cases, the RTP receiver can do a simple multicast join (in other cases, it is compelled to do so). For quality reporting, monitoring, and diagnostic purposes, it is important to collect detailed information from the RTP receivers about their acquisition and presentation experiences. This document addresses this issue by defining a new report block type, called theMulticast Acquisition (MA) report block, within the framework of RTPControl Protocol (RTCP) Extended Reports (XRs) (RFC 3611). This document also defines the necessary signaling of the new MA report block type in the Session Description Protocol (SDP).

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6363
This document describes a framework for using Forward ErrorCorrection (FEC) codes with applications in public and private IP networks to provide protection against packet loss. The framework supports applying FEC to arbitrary packet flows over unreliable transport and is primarily intended for real-time, or streaming, media. This framework can be used to define Content DeliveryProtocols that provide FEC for streaming media delivery or other packet flows. Content Delivery Protocols defined using this framework can support any FEC scheme (and associated FEC codes) that is compliant with various requirements defined in this document.Thus, Content Delivery Protocols can be defined that are not specific to a particular FEC scheme, and FEC schemes can be defined that are not specific to a particular Content Delivery Protocol.

RFC 6381 The 'Codecs' and 'Profiles' Parameters for "Bucket" Media Types

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6381
Several MIME type/subtype combinations exist that can contain different media formats. A receiving agent thus needs to examine the details of such media content to determine if the specific elements can be rendered given an available set of codecs. Especially when the end system has limited resources, or the connection to the end system has limited bandwidth, it is helpful to know from the Content-Type alone if the content can be rendered.

This document specifies two parameters, 'codecs' and 'profiles', that are used with various MIME types or type/subtype combinations to allow for unambiguous specification of the codecs employed by the media formats contained within, or the profile(s) of the overall container format. This document obsoletes RFC 4281; RFC 4281 defines the 'codecs' parameter, which this document retains in a backwards compatible manner with minor clarifications; the 'profiles' parameter is added by this document.

By labeling content with the specific codecs indicated to render the contained media, receiving systems can determine if the codecs are supported by the end system, and if not, can take appropriate action(such as rejecting the content, sending notification of the situation, transcoding the content to a supported type, fetching and installing the required codecs, further inspection to determine if it will be sufficient to support a subset of the indicated codecs, etc.).

Similarly, the profiles can provide an overall indication, to the receiver, of the specifications with which the content complies.This is an indication of the compatibility of the container format and its contents to some specification. The receiver may be able to work out the extent to which it can handle and render the content by examining to see which of the declared profiles it supports, and what they mean.

 
RFC 6384 An FTP Application Layer Gateway (ALG) for IPv6-to-IPv4 Translation
 
Authors:I. van Beijnum.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6384
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) has a very long history, and despite the fact that today other options exist to perform file transfers,FTP is still in common use. As such, in situations where some client computers only have IPv6 connectivity while many servers are stillIPv4-only and IPv6-to-IPv4 translators are used to bridge that gap, it is important that FTP is made to work through these translators to the best possible extent.

FTP has an active and a passive mode, both as original commands that are IPv4-specific and as extended, IP version agnostic commands. The only FTP mode that works without changes through an IPv6-to-IPv4 translator is extended passive. However, many existing FTP servers do not support this mode, and some clients do not ask for it. This document specifies a middlebox that may solve this mismatch.

RFC 6388 Label Distribution Protocol Extensions for Point-to-Multipoint and Multipoint-to-Multipoint Label Switched Paths
 
Authors:IJ. Wijnands, Ed., I. Minei, Ed., K. Kompella, B. Thomas.
Date:November 2011
Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 7358
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6388
This document describes extensions to the Label Distribution Protocol(LDP) for the setup of point-to-multipoint (P2MP) and multipoint-to- multipoint (MP2MP) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) in MPLS networks.These extensions are also referred to as multipoint LDP. MultipointLDP constructs the P2MP or MP2MP LSPs without interacting with or relying upon any other multicast tree construction protocol.Protocol elements and procedures for this solution are described for building such LSPs in a receiver-initiated manner. There can be various applications for multipoint LSPs, for example IP multicast or support for multicast in BGP/MPLS Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks(L3VPNs). Specification of how such applications can use an LDP signaled multipoint LSP is outside the scope of this document.

RFC 6391 Flow-Aware Transport of Pseudowires over an MPLS Packet Switched Network
 
Authors:S. Bryant, Ed., C. Filsfils, U. Drafz, V. Kompella, J. Regan, S. Amante.
Date:November 2011
Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 7274
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6391
Where the payload of a pseudowire comprises a number of distinct flows, it can be desirable to carry those flows over the Equal CostMultiple Paths (ECMPs) that exist in the packet switched network.Most forwarding engines are able to generate a hash of the MPLS label stack and use this mechanism to balance MPLS flows over ECMPs.

This document describes a method of identifying the flows, or flow groups, within pseudowires such that Label Switching Routers can balance flows at a finer granularity than individual pseudowires.The mechanism uses an additional label in the MPLS label stack.

RFC 6401 RSVP Extensions for Admission Priority
 
Authors:F. Le Faucheur, J. Polk, K. Carlberg.
Date:October 2011
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6401
Some applications require the ability to provide an elevated probability of session establishment to specific sessions in times of network congestion. When supported over the Internet Protocol suite, this may be facilitated through a network-layer admission control solution that supports prioritized access to resources (e.g., bandwidth). These resources may be explicitly set aside for prioritized sessions, or may be shared with other sessions. This document specifies extensions to the Resource reSerVation Protocol(RSVP) that can be used to support such an admission priority capability at the network layer.

Based on current security concerns, these extensions are intended for use in a single administrative domain.

Updates:RFC 3588
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6408
The Diameter base protocol specifies mechanisms whereby a given realm may advertise Diameter nodes and the supported transport protocol.However, these mechanisms do not reveal the Diameter applications that each node supports. A peer outside the realm would have to perform a Diameter capability exchange with every node until it discovers one that supports the required application. This document updates RFC 3588, "Diameter Base Protocol", and describes an improvement using an extended format for the Straightforward-NamingAuthority Pointer (S-NAPTR) application service tag that allows for discovery of the supported applications without doing Diameter capability exchange beforehand.

Obsoletes:RFC 3016
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6416
This document describes Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) payload formats for carrying each of MPEG-4 Audio and MPEG-4 Visual bitstreams without using MPEG-4 Systems. This document obsoletes RFC3016. It contains a summary of changes from RFC 3016 and discusses backward compatibility to RFC 3016. It is a necessary revision ofRFC 3016 in order to correct misalignments with the 3GPP Packet- switched Streaming Service (PSS) specification regarding the RTP payload format for MPEG-4 Audio.

For the purpose of directly mapping MPEG-4 Audio/Visual bitstreams onto RTP packets, this document provides specifications for the use of RTP header fields and also specifies fragmentation rules. It also provides specifications for Media Type registration and the use of the Session Description Protocol (SDP). The audio payload format described in this document has some limitations related to the signaling of audio codec parameters for the required multiplexing format. Therefore, new system designs should utilize RFC 3640, which does not have these restrictions. Nevertheless, this revision of RFC3016 is provided to update and complete the specification and to enable interoperable implementations.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 6425
Recent proposals have extended the scope of Multiprotocol LabelSwitching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) to encompass point-to- multipoint (P2MP) LSPs.

The requirement for a simple and efficient mechanism that can be used to detect data-plane failures in point-to-point (P2P) MPLS LSPs has been recognized and has led to the development of techniques for fault detection and isolation commonly referred to as "LSP ping".

The scope of this document is fault detection and isolation for P2MPMPLS LSPs. This documents does not replace any of the mechanisms ofLSP ping, but clarifies their applicability to MPLS P2MP LSPs, and extends the techniques and mechanisms of LSP ping to the MPLS P2MP environment.

Updates:RFC 6371
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6435
Two useful Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) functions in a transport network are "lock" and "loopback". The lock function enables an operator to lock a transport path such that it does not carry client traffic, but can continue to carry OAM messages and may carry test traffic. The loopback function allows an operator to set a specific node on the transport path into loopback mode such that it returns all received data.

This document specifies the lock function for MPLS networks and describes how the loopback function operates in MPLS networks.

This document updates Sections 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 of RFC 6371.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6439
The IETF TRILL (TRansparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) protocol provides least cost pair-wise data forwarding without configuration in multi-hop networks with arbitrary topology, safe forwarding even during periods of temporary loops, and support for multipathing of both unicast and multicast traffic. TRILL accomplishes this by using IS-IS (Intermediate System to IntermediateSystem) link state routing and by encapsulating traffic using a header that includes a hop count. Devices that implement TRILL are called "RBridges" (Routing Bridges).

TRILL supports multi-access LAN (Local Area Network) links that can have multiple end stations and RBridges attached. Where multipleRBridges are attached to a link, native traffic to and from end stations on that link is handled by a subset of those RBridges called"Appointed Forwarders", with the intent that native traffic in eachVLAN (Virtual LAN) be handled by at most one RBridge. The purpose of this document is to improve the documentation of the AppointedForwarder mechanism; thus, it updates RFC 6325.

Updated by:RFC 7936, RFC 8307, RFC 8441
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6455
The WebSocket Protocol enables two-way communication between a client running untrusted code in a controlled environment to a remote host that has opted-in to communications from that code. The security model used for this is the origin-based security model commonly used by web browsers. The protocol consists of an opening handshake followed by basic message framing, layered over TCP. The goal of this technology is to provide a mechanism for browser-based applications that need two-way communication with servers that does not rely on opening multiple HTTP connections (e.g., usingXMLHttpRequest or <iframe&rt;s and long polling).

Obsoleted by:RFC 9286
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6486
This document defines a "manifest" for use in the Resource Public KeyInfrastructure (RPKI). A manifest is a signed object (file) that contains a listing of all the signed objects (files) in the repository publication point (directory) associated with an authority responsible for publishing in the repository. For each certificate,Certificate Revocation List (CRL), or other type of signed objects issued by the authority that are published at this repository publication point, the manifest contains both the name of the file containing the object and a hash of the file content. Manifests are intended to enable a relying party (RP) to detect certain forms of attacks against a repository. Specifically, if an RP checks a manifest's contents against the signed objects retrieved from a repository publication point, then the RP can detect "stale" (valid) data and deletion of signed objects.

Obsoleted by:RFC 7166
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6506
Currently, OSPF for IPv6 (OSPFv3) uses IPsec as the only mechanism for authenticating protocol packets. This behavior is different from authentication mechanisms present in other routing protocols (OSPFv2,Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), RIP, and RoutingInformation Protocol Next Generation (RIPng)). In some environments, it has been found that IPsec is difficult to configure and maintain and thus cannot be used. This document defines an alternative mechanism to authenticate OSPFv3 protocol packets so that OSPFv3 does not only depend upon IPsec for authentication.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6512
The control protocol used for constructing Point-to-Multipoint andMultipoint-to-Multipoint Label Switched Paths ("MP LSPs") contains a field that identifies the address of a "root node". Intermediate nodes are expected to be able to look up that address in their routing tables. However, this is not possible if the route to the root node is a BGP route and the intermediate nodes are part of aBGP-free core. This document specifies procedures that enable an MPLSP to be constructed through a BGP-free core. In these procedures, the root node address is temporarily replaced by an address that is known to the intermediate nodes and is on the path to the true root node.

Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 6514
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6515
To provide Multicast VPN (MVPN) service, Provider Edge routers originate BGP Update messages that carry Multicast-VPN ("MCAST-VPN")BGP routes; they also originate unicast VPN routes that carry MVPN- specific attributes. These routes encode addresses from the customer's address space, as well as addresses from the provider's address space. These two address spaces are independent, and the address family (IPv4 or IPv6) of the two spaces may or may not be the same. These routes always contain an "address family" field that specifies whether the customer addresses are IPv4 addresses or whether they are IPv6 addresses. However, there is no field that explicitly specifies the address family of the provider addresses.To ensure interoperability, this document specifies that providerIPv4 addresses are always encoded in these update messages as 4-octet addresses, and that the distinction between IPv4 and IPv6 is signaled solely by the length of the address field. Specific cases are explained in detail. This document updates RFC 6514.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6519
Dual-Stack Lite is a solution to offer both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity to customers that are addressed only with an IPv6 prefix. Dual-Stack Lite requires pre-configuration of the Dual-StackLite Address Family Transition Router (AFTR) tunnel information on the Basic Bridging BroadBand (B4) element. In many networks, the customer profile information may be stored in Authentication,Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) servers, while client configurations are mainly provided through the Dynamic HostConfiguration Protocol (DHCP). This document specifies a new RemoteAuthentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) attribute to carry theDual-Stack Lite AFTR tunnel name; the RADIUS attribute is defined based on the equivalent DHCPv6 OPTION_AFTR_NAME option. This RADIUS attribute is meant to be used between the RADIUS server and theNetwork Access Server (NAS); it is not intended to be used directly between the B4 element and the RADIUS server.

RFC 6525 Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) Stream Reconfiguration
 
Authors:R. Stewart, M. Tuexen, P. Lei.
Date:February 2012
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6525
Many applications that use the Stream Control Transmission Protocol(SCTP) want the ability to "reset" a stream. The intention of resetting a stream is to set the numbering sequence of the stream back to 'zero' with a corresponding notification to the application layer that the reset has been performed. Applications requiring this feature want it so that they can "reuse" streams for different purposes but still utilize the stream sequence number so that the application can track the message flows. Thus, without this feature, a new use of an old stream would result in message numbers greater than expected, unless there is a protocol mechanism to "reset the streams back to zero". This document also includes methods for resetting the transmission sequence numbers, adding additional streams, and resetting all stream sequence numbers.

This document specifies an extension to the specifications in RFC5101, IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX), when using the PartialReliability extension of SCTP (PR-SCTP, Partial Reliability StreamControl Transmission Protocol).

When implemented at both the Exporting Process and CollectingProcess, this method offers several advantages, such as the ability to calculate Data Record losses for PR-SCTP per Template, immediate export of Template Withdrawal Messages, immediate reuse of TemplateIDs within an SCTP stream, reduced likelihood of Data Record loss, and reduced demands on the Collecting Process. When implemented in only the Collecting Process or Exporting Process, then normal IPFIX behavior will be seen without all of the additional benefits.

Full use of electronic mail throughout the world requires that(subject to other constraints) people be able to use close variations on their own names (written correctly in their own languages and scripts) as mailbox names in email addresses. This document introduces a series of specifications that define mechanisms and protocol extensions needed to fully support internationalized email addresses. These changes include an SMTP extension and extension of email header syntax to accommodate UTF-8 data. The document set also includes discussion of key assumptions and issues in deploying fully internationalized email. This document is a replacement for RFC4952; it reflects additional issues identified since that document was published.

Obsoletes:RFC 5335
Updates:RFC 2045
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6532
Internet mail was originally limited to 7-bit ASCII. MIME added support for the use of 8-bit character sets in body parts, and also defined an encoded-word construct so other character sets could be used in certain header field values. However, full internationalization of electronic mail requires additional enhancements to allow the use of Unicode, including characters outside the ASCII repertoire, in mail addresses as well as direct use of Unicode in header fields like "From:", "To:", and "Subject:", without requiring the use of complex encoded-word constructs. This document specifies an enhancement to the Internet Message Format and to MIME that allows use of Unicode in mail addresses and most header field content.

This specification updates Section 6.4 of RFC 2045 to eliminate the restriction prohibiting the use of non-identity content-transfer- encodings on subtypes of "message/".

Delivery status notifications (DSNs) are critical to the correct operation of an email system. However, the existing Draft Standards(RFC 3461, RFC 3464, RFC 6522) are presently limited to ASCII text in the machine-readable portions of the protocol. This specification adds a new address type for international email addresses so an original recipient address with non-ASCII characters can be correctly preserved even after downgrading. This also provides updated content return media types for delivery status notifications and message disposition notifications to support use of the new address type.

This document extends RFC 3461, RFC 3464, RFC 3798, and RFC 6522.

The IETF has developed a one-way packet loss metric that measures the loss rate on a Poisson and Periodic probe streams between two hosts.However, the impact of packet loss on applications is, in general, sensitive not just to the average loss rate but also to the way in which packet losses are distributed in loss episodes (i.e., maximal sets of consecutively lost probe packets). This document defines one-way packet loss episode metrics, specifically, the frequency and average duration of loss episodes and a probing methodology under which the loss episode metrics are to be measured.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6535
Bump-in-the-Host (BIH) is a host-based IPv4 to IPv6 protocol translation mechanism that allows a class of IPv4-only applications that work through NATs to communicate with IPv6-only peers. The host on which applications are running may be connected to IPv6-only or dual-stack access networks. BIH hides IPv6 and makes the IPv4-only applications think they are talking with IPv4 peers by local synthesis of IPv4 addresses. This document obsoletes RFC 2767 andRFC 3338.

RFC 6543 Reserved IPv6 Interface Identifier for Proxy Mobile IPv6
 
Authors:S. Gundavelli.
Date:May 2012
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 5213
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6543
Proxy Mobile IPv6 (RFC 5213) requires that all mobile access gateways use a fixed link-local address and a fixed link-layer address on any of their access links that they share with mobile nodes. This requirement was intended to ensure that a mobile node does not detect any change with respect to its Layer 3 attachment, even after it roams from one mobile access gateway to another. In the absence of any reserved addresses for this use, coordination across vendors and manual configuration of these addresses on all of the mobility elements in a Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain are required. This document attempts to simplify this operational requirement by making a reservation for special addresses that can be used for this purpose.This document also updates RFC 5213.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 6544
Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) defines a mechanism forNAT traversal for multimedia communication protocols based on the offer/answer model of session negotiation. ICE works by providing a set of candidate transport addresses for each media stream, which are then validated with peer-to-peer connectivity checks based on SessionTraversal Utilities for NAT (STUN). ICE provides a general framework for describing candidates but only defines UDP-based media streams.This specification extends ICE to TCP-based media, including the ability to offer a mix of TCP and UDP-based candidates for a single stream.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6545
Security incidents, such as system compromises, worms, viruses, phishing incidents, and denial of service, typically result in the loss of service, data, and resources both human and system. Service providers and Computer Security Incident Response Teams need to be equipped and ready to assist in communicating and tracing security incidents with tools and procedures in place before the occurrence of an attack. Real-time Inter-network Defense (RID) outlines a proactive inter-network communication method to facilitate sharing incident-handling data while integrating existing detection, tracing, source identification, and mitigation mechanisms for a complete incident-handling solution. Combining these capabilities in a communication system provides a way to achieve higher security levels on networks. Policy guidelines for handling incidents are recommended and can be agreed upon by a consortium using the security recommendations and considerations. This document obsoletes RFC6045.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6550
Low-Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) are a class of network in which both the routers and their interconnect are constrained. LLN routers typically operate with constraints on processing power, memory, and energy (battery power). Their interconnects are characterized by high loss rates, low data rates, and instability. LLNs are comprised of anything from a few dozen to thousands of routers. Supported traffic flows include point-to-point (between devices inside theLLN), point-to-multipoint (from a central control point to a subset of devices inside the LLN), and multipoint-to-point (from devices inside the LLN towards a central control point). This document specifies the IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks(RPL), which provides a mechanism whereby multipoint-to-point traffic from devices inside the LLN towards a central control point as well as point-to-multipoint traffic from the central control point to the devices inside the LLN are supported. Support for point-to-point traffic is also available.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 6552
The Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) specification defines a generic Distance Vector protocol that is adapted to a variety of network types by the application of specificObjective Functions (OFs). An OF states the outcome of the process used by a RPL node to select and optimize routes within a RPLInstance based on the Information Objects available; an OF is not an algorithm.

This document specifies a basic Objective Function that relies only on the objects that are defined in the RPL and does not use any protocol extensions.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6554
In Low-Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs), memory constraints on routers may limit them to maintaining, at most, a few routes. In some configurations, it is necessary to use these memory-constrained routers to deliver datagrams to nodes within the LLN. The RoutingProtocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) can be used in some deployments to store most, if not all, routes on one (e.g., theDirected Acyclic Graph (DAG) root) or a few routers and forward theIPv6 datagram using a source routing technique to avoid large routing tables on memory-constrained routers. This document specifies a newIPv6 Routing header type for delivering datagrams within a RPL routing domain.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 6565
Many Service Providers (SPs) offer Virtual Private Network (VPN) services to their customers using a technique in which Customer Edge(CE) routers are routing peers of Provider Edge (PE) routers. TheBorder Gateway Protocol (BGP) is used to distribute the customer's routes across the provider's IP backbone network, and MultiprotocolLabel Switching (MPLS) is used to tunnel customer packets across the provider's backbone. Support currently exists for both IPv4 and IPv6VPNs; however, only Open Shortest Path First version 2 (OSPFv2) asPE-CE protocol is specified. This document extends those specifications to support OSPF version 3 (OSPFv3) as a PE-CE routing protocol. The OSPFv3 PE-CE functionality is identical to that ofOSPFv2 except for the differences described in this document.

This document defines new attributes to facilitate Proxy Mobile IPv6 operations using the RADIUS infrastructure. The protocol defined in this document uses RADIUS-based interfaces of the mobile access gateway and the local mobility anchor with the AAA server for authentication, authorization, and policy functions. The RADIUS interactions between the mobile access gateway and the RADIUS-basedAAA server take place when the mobile node (MN) attaches, authenticates, and authorizes to a Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain.Furthermore, this document defines the RADIUS-based interface between the local mobility anchor and the AAA RADIUS server for authorizing received Proxy Binding Update messages for the mobile node's mobility session. In addition to the interactions related to mobility session setup, this document defines the baseline for the mobile access gateway and the local mobility anchor generated accounting.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 6575
The Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS), detailed in RFC 4664, provides point-to-point connections between pairs of Customer Edge(CE) devices. It does so by binding two Attachment Circuits (each connecting a CE device with a Provider Edge (PE) device) to a pseudowire (connecting the two PEs). In general, the AttachmentCircuits must be of the same technology (e.g., both Ethernet or bothATM), and the pseudowire must carry the frames of that technology.However, if it is known that the frames' payload consists solely ofIP datagrams, it is possible to provide a point-to-point connection in which the pseudowire connects Attachment Circuits of different technologies. This requires the PEs to perform a function known as"Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Mediation". ARP Mediation refers to the process of resolving Layer 2 addresses when different resolution protocols are used on either Attachment Circuit. The methods described in this document are applicable even when the CEs run a routing protocol between them, as long as the routing protocol runs over IP.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 6602
For extending the lifetime of a mobility session, the Proxy MobileIPv6 specification requires the mobile access gateway to send a ProxyBinding Update message to the local mobility anchor on a per-session basis. In the absence of signaling semantics for performing operations with group-specific scope, this results in a significant amount of signaling traffic on a periodic basis between a given mobile access gateway and a local mobility anchor. This document defines optimizations to the binding update and revocation operations in Proxy Mobile IPv6 for performing operations with group-specific scope with the use of a group identifier.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6625
In Multicast Virtual Private Networks (MVPNs), customer multicast flows are carried in "tunnels" through a service provider's network.The base specifications for MVPN define BGP multicast VPN "auto- discovery routes" and specify how to use an auto-discovery route to advertise the fact that an individual customer multicast flow is being carried in a particular tunnel. However, those specifications do not provide a way to specify, in a single such route, that multiple customer flows are being carried in a single tunnel. Those specifications also do not provide a way to advertise that a particular tunnel is to be used by default to carry all customer flows, except in the case where that tunnel is joined by all the provider edge routers of the MVPN. This document eliminates these restrictions by specifying the use of "wildcard" elements in the customer flow identifiers. With wildcard elements, a single auto- discovery route can refer to multiple customer flows or even to all customer flows.

RFC 6642 RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Extension for a Third-Party Loss Report
 
Authors:Q. Wu, Ed., F. Xia, R. Even.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6642
In a large RTP session using the RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) feedback mechanism defined in RFC 4585, a feedback target may experience transient overload if some event causes a large number of receivers to send feedback at once. This overload is usually avoided by ensuring that feedback reports are forwarded to all receivers, allowing them to avoid sending duplicate feedback reports. However, there are cases where it is not recommended to forward feedback reports, and this may allow feedback implosion. This memo discusses these cases and defines a new RTCP Third-Party Loss Report that can be used to inform receivers that the feedback target is aware of some loss event, allowing them to suppress feedback. Associated SessionDescription Protocol (SDP) signaling is also defined.

RFC 6660 Encoding Three Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) States in the IP Header Using a Single Diffserv Codepoint (DSCP)

Date:July 2012
Formats:txt html json
Obsoletes:RFC 5696
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6660
The objective of Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) is to protect the quality of service (QoS) of inelastic flows within a Diffserv domain.The overall rate of PCN-traffic is metered on every link in the PCN- domain, and PCN-packets are appropriately marked when certain configured rates are exceeded. Egress nodes pass information about these PCN-marks to Decision Points that then decide whether to admit or block new flow requests or to terminate some already admitted flows during serious pre-congestion.

This document specifies how PCN-marks are to be encoded into the IP header by reusing the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) codepoints within a PCN-domain. The PCN wire protocol for non-IP protocol headers will need to be defined elsewhere. Nonetheless, this document clarifies the PCN encoding for MPLS in an informational appendix. The encoding for IP provides for up to three different PCN marking states using a single Diffserv codepoint (DSCP): not-marked(NM), threshold-marked (ThM), and excess-traffic-marked (ETM).Hence, it is called the 3-in-1 PCN encoding. This document obsoletesRFC 5696.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6681
This document describes Fully-Specified Forward Error Correction(FEC) Schemes for the Raptor and RaptorQ codes and their application to reliable delivery of media streams in the context of the FECFramework. The Raptor and RaptorQ codes are systematic codes, where a number of repair symbols are generated from a set of source symbols and sent in one or more repair flows in addition to the source symbols that are sent to the receiver(s) within a source flow. TheRaptor and RaptorQ codes offer close to optimal protection against arbitrary packet losses at a low computational complexity. Six FECSchemes are defined: two for the protection of arbitrary packet flows, two that are optimized for small source blocks, and two for the protection of a single flow that already contains a sequence number. Repair data may be sent over arbitrary datagram transport(e.g., UDP) or using RTP.

Date:July 2012
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 5663
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6688
Parallel NFS (pNFS) extends the Network File System version 4 (NFSv4) to enable direct client access to file data on storage devices and bypass the NFSv4 server. This can increase both performance and parallelism, but it requires additional client functionality, some of which depends upon the type of storage used. The pNFS specification for block storage (RFC 5663) describes how clients can identify the volumes used for pNFS, but this mechanism requires communication with the NFSv4 server. This document updates RFC 5663 to add a mechanism that enables identification of block storage devices used by pNFS file systems without communicating with the server. This enables clients to control access to pNFS block devices when the client initially boots, as opposed to waiting until the client can communicate with the NFSv4 server.

RFC 6705 Localized Routing for Proxy Mobile IPv6
 
Authors:S. Krishnan, R. Koodli, P. Loureiro, Q. Wu, A. Dutta.
Date:September 2012
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6705
Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is a network based mobility management protocol that enables IP mobility for a host without requiring its participation in any mobility-related signaling. PMIPv6 requires all communications to go through the local mobility anchor. As this can be suboptimal, Localized Routing (LR) allows Mobile Nodes (MNs) attached to the same or different Mobile Access Gateways (MAGs) to route traffic by using localized forwarding or a direct tunnel between the gateways. This document proposes initiation, utilization, and termination mechanisms for localized routing between mobile access gateways within a proxy mobile IPv6 domain. It defines two new signaling messages, Localized Routing Initiation (LRI) andLocal Routing Acknowledgment (LRA), that are used to realize this mechanism.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6719
The Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) constructs routes by using Objective Functions that optimize or constrain the routes it selects and uses. This specification describes the Minimum Rank with Hysteresis Objective Function(MRHOF), an Objective Function that selects routes that minimize a metric, while using hysteresis to reduce churn in response to small metric changes. MRHOF works with additive metrics along a route, and the metrics it uses are determined by the metrics that the RPLDestination Information Object (DIO) messages advertise.

RFC 6724 Default Address Selection for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)
 
Authors:D. Thaler, Ed., R. Draves, A. Matsumoto, T. Chown.
Date:September 2012
Formats:txt html json
Obsoletes:RFC 3484
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6724
This document describes two algorithms, one for source address selection and one for destination address selection. The algorithms specify default behavior for all Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) implementations. They do not override choices made by applications or upper-layer protocols, nor do they preclude the development of more advanced mechanisms for address selection. The two algorithms share a common context, including an optional mechanism for allowing administrators to provide policy that can override the default behavior. In dual-stack implementations, the destination address selection algorithm can consider both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses -- depending on the available source addresses, the algorithm might prefer IPv6 addresses over IPv4 addresses, or vice versa.

Default address selection as defined in this specification applies to all IPv6 nodes, including both hosts and routers. This document obsoletes RFC 3484.

Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 8736, RFC 9436
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6754
A Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) router uses the Reverse PathForwarding (RPF) procedure to select an upstream interface and router in order to build forwarding state. When there are equal-cost multipaths (ECMPs), existing implementations often use hash algorithms to select a path. Such algorithms do not allow the spread of traffic among the ECMPs according to administrative metrics. This usually leads to inefficient or ineffective use of network resources.This document introduces the ECMP Redirect, a mechanism to improve the RPF procedure over ECMPs. It allows ECMP selection to be based on administratively selected metrics, such as data transmission delays, path preferences, and routing metrics.

RFC 6762 Multicast DNS
 
Authors:S. Cheshire, M. Krochmal.
Date:February 2013
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6762
As networked devices become smaller, more portable, and more ubiquitous, the ability to operate with less configured infrastructure is increasingly important. In particular, the ability to look up DNS resource record data types (including, but not limited to, host names) in the absence of a conventional managed DNS server is useful.

Multicast DNS (mDNS) provides the ability to perform DNS-like operations on the local link in the absence of any conventionalUnicast DNS server. In addition, Multicast DNS designates a portion of the DNS namespace to be free for local use, without the need to pay any annual fee, and without the need to set up delegations or otherwise configure a conventional DNS server to answer for those names.

The primary benefits of Multicast DNS names are that (i) they require little or no administration or configuration to set them up, (ii) they work when no infrastructure is present, and (iii) they work during infrastructure failures.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6775
The IETF work in IPv6 over Low-power Wireless Personal Area Network(6LoWPAN) defines 6LoWPANs such as IEEE 802.15.4. This and other similar link technologies have limited or no usage of multicast signaling due to energy conservation. In addition, the wireless network may not strictly follow the traditional concept of IP subnets and IP links. IPv6 Neighbor Discovery was not designed for non- transitive wireless links, as its reliance on the traditional IPv6 link concept and its heavy use of multicast make it inefficient and sometimes impractical in a low-power and lossy network. This document describes simple optimizations to IPv6 Neighbor Discovery, its addressing mechanisms, and duplicate address detection for Low- power Wireless Personal Area Networks and similar networks. The document thus updates RFC 4944 to specify the use of the optimizations defined here.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6777
When setting up a Label Switched Path (LSP) in Generalized MPLS(GMPLS) and MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) networks, the completion of the signaling process does not necessarily mean that the cross-connection along the LSP has been programmed accordingly and in a timely manner. Meanwhile, the completion of the signaling process may be used by LSP users or applications that control their use as an indication that the data path has become usable. The existence of the inconsistency between the signaling messages and cross-connection programming, and the possible failure of cross- connection programming, if not properly treated, will result in data loss or even application failure. Characterization of this performance can thus help designers to improve the way in which LSPs are used and to make applications or tools that depend on and useLSPs more robust. This document defines a series of performance metrics to evaluate the connectivity of the data path in the signaling process.

RFC 6787 Media Resource Control Protocol Version 2 (MRCPv2)
 
Authors:D. Burnett, S. Shanmugham.
Date:November 2012
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6787
The Media Resource Control Protocol Version 2 (MRCPv2) allows client hosts to control media service resources such as speech synthesizers, recognizers, verifiers, and identifiers residing in servers on the network. MRCPv2 is not a "stand-alone" protocol -- it relies on other protocols, such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), to coordinate MRCPv2 clients and servers and manage sessions between them, and the Session Description Protocol (SDP) to describe, discover, and exchange capabilities. It also depends on SIP and SDP to establish the media sessions and associated parameters between the media source or sink and the media server. Once this is done, theMRCPv2 exchange operates over the control session established above, allowing the client to control the media processing resources on the speech resource server.

RFC 6816 Simple Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) Staircase Forward Error Correction (FEC) Scheme for FECFRAME
 
Authors:V. Roca, M. Cunche, J. Lacan.
Date:December 2012
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6816
This document describes a fully specified simple Forward ErrorCorrection (FEC) scheme for Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) Staircase codes that can be used to protect media streams along the lines defined by FECFRAME. These codes have many interesting properties: they are systematic codes, they perform close to ideal codes in many use-cases, and they also feature very high encoding and decoding throughputs. LDPC-Staircase codes are therefore a good solution to protect a single high bitrate source flow or to protect globally several mid-rate flows within a single FECFRAME instance. They are also a good solution whenever the processing load of a software encoder or decoder must be kept to a minimum.

Updated by:RFC 7438
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6826
Consider an IP multicast tree, constructed by Protocol IndependentMulticast (PIM), that needs to pass through an MPLS domain in whichMultipoint LDP (mLDP) point-to-multipoint and/or multipoint-to- multipoint Labels Switched Paths (LSPs) can be created. The part of the IP multicast tree that traverses the MPLS domain can be instantiated as a multipoint LSP. When a PIM Join message is received at the border of the MPLS domain, information from that message is encoded into mLDP messages. When the mLDP messages reach the border of the next IP domain, the encoded information is used to generate PIM messages that can be sent through the IP domain. The result is an IP multicast tree consisting of a set of IP multicast sub-trees that are spliced together with a multipoint LSP. This document describes procedures regarding how IP multicast trees are spliced together with multipoint LSPs.

Updates:RFC 2328, RFC 5340
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6845
This document describes a mechanism to model a broadcast network as a hybrid of broadcast and point-to-multipoint networks for purposes ofOSPF operation. Neighbor discovery and maintenance as well as LinkState Advertisement (LSA) database synchronization are performed using the broadcast model, but the network is represented using the point-to-multipoint model in the router-LSAs of the routers connected to it. This allows an accurate representation of the cost of communication between different routers on the network, while maintaining the network efficiency of broadcast operation. This approach is relatively simple and requires minimal changes to OSPF.

This document updates both OSPFv2 (RFC 2328) and OSPFv3 (RFC 5340).

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6849
The wide deployment of Voice over IP (VoIP), real-time text, andVideo over IP services has introduced new challenges in managing and maintaining real-time voice/text/video quality, reliability, and overall performance. In particular, media delivery is an area that needs attention. One method of meeting these challenges is monitoring the media delivery performance by looping media back to the transmitter. This is typically referred to as "active monitoring" of services. Media loopback is especially popular in ensuring the quality of transport to the edge of a given VoIP, real- time text, or Video over IP service. Today, in networks that deliver real-time media, short of running 'ping' and 'traceroute' to the edge, administrators are left without the necessary tools to actively monitor, manage, and diagnose quality issues with their service. The extension defined herein adds new Session Description Protocol (SDP) media types and attributes that enable establishment of media sessions where the media is looped back to the transmitter. Such media sessions will serve as monitoring and troubleshooting tools by providing the means for measurement of more advanced VoIP, real-time text, and Video over IP performance metrics.

RFC 6857 Post-Delivery Message Downgrading for Internationalized Email Messages
 
Authors:K. Fujiwara.
Date:March 2013
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6857
The Email Address Internationalization (SMTPUTF8) extension to SMTP allows Unicode characters encoded in UTF-8 and outside the ASCII repertoire in mail header fields. Upgraded POP and IMAP servers support internationalized messages. If a POP or IMAP client does not support Email Address Internationalization, a POP or IMAP server cannot deliver internationalized messages to the client and cannot remove the message. To avoid that situation, this document describes a mechanism for converting internationalized messages into the traditional message format. As part of the conversion process, message elements that require internationalized treatment are recoded or removed, and receivers are able to recognize that they received messages containing such elements, even if they cannot process the internationalized elements.

RFC 6860 Hiding Transit-Only Networks in OSPF
 
Authors:Y. Yang, A. Retana, A. Roy.
Date:January 2013
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 2328, RFC 5340
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6860
A transit-only network is defined as a network connecting routers only. In OSPF, transit-only networks are usually configured with routable IP addresses, which are advertised in Link StateAdvertisements (LSAs) but are not needed for data traffic. In addition, remote attacks can be launched against routers by sending packets to these transit-only networks. This document presents a mechanism to hide transit-only networks to speed up network convergence and reduce vulnerability to remote attacks.

In the context of this document, 'hiding' implies that the prefixes are not installed in the routing tables on OSPF routers. In some cases, IP addresses may still be visible when using OSPFv2.

This document updates RFCs 2328 and 5340.

 
RFC 6864 Updated Specification of the IPv4 ID Field
 
Authors:J. Touch.
Date:February 2013
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 0791, RFC 1122, RFC 2003
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6864
The IPv4 Identification (ID) field enables fragmentation and reassembly and, as currently specified, is required to be unique within the maximum lifetime for all datagrams with a given source address/destination address/protocol tuple. If enforced, this uniqueness requirement would limit all connections to 6.4 Mbps for typical datagram sizes. Because individual connections commonly exceed this speed, it is clear that existing systems violate the current specification. This document updates the specification of the IPv4 ID field in RFCs 791, 1122, and 2003 to more closely reflect current practice and to more closely match IPv6 so that the field's value is defined only when a datagram is actually fragmented. It also discusses the impact of these changes on how datagrams are used.
 
RFC 6865 Simple Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (FEC) Scheme for FECFRAME
 
Authors:V. Roca, M. Cunche, J. Lacan, A. Bouabdallah, K. Matsuzono.
Date:February 2013
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6865
This document describes a fully-specified simple Forward ErrorCorrection (FEC) scheme for Reed-Solomon codes over the finite field(also known as the Galois Field) GF(2^^m), with 2 <= m <= 16, that can be used to protect arbitrary media streams along the lines defined by FECFRAME. The Reed-Solomon codes considered have attractive properties, since they offer optimal protection against packet erasures and the source symbols are part of the encoding symbols, which can greatly simplify decoding. However, the price to pay is a limit on the maximum source block size, on the maximum number of encoding symbols, and a computational complexity higher than that of the Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes, for instance.

Date:February 2013
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 4447
Updated by:RFC 7771
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6870
This document describes a mechanism for signaling the active and standby status of redundant Pseudowires (PWs) between their termination points. A set of Redundant PWs is configured betweenProvider Edge (PE) nodes in single-segment pseudowire (SS-PW) applications or between Terminating Provider Edge (T-PE) nodes inMulti-Segment Pseudowire (MS-PW) applications.

In order for the PE/T-PE nodes to indicate the preferred PW to use for forwarding PW packets to one another, a new status bit is defined. This bit indicates a Preferential Forwarding status with a value of active or standby for each PW in a redundant set.

In addition, a second status bit is defined to allow peer PE nodes to coordinate a switchover operation of the PW.

Finally, this document updates RFC 4447 by adding details to the handling of the PW status code bits in the PW Status TLV.

RFC 6872 The Common Log Format (CLF) for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP): Framework and Information Model
 
Authors:V. Gurbani, Ed., E. Burger, Ed., T. Anjali, H. Abdelnur, O. Festor.
Date:February 2013
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6872
Well-known web servers such as Apache and web proxies like Squid support event logging using a common log format. The logs produced using these de facto standard formats are invaluable to system administrators for troubleshooting a server and tool writers to craft tools that mine the log files and produce reports and trends.Furthermore, these log files can also be used to train anomaly detection systems and feed events into a security event management system. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) does not have a common log format, and, as a result, each server supports a distinct log format that makes it unnecessarily complex to produce tools to do trend analysis and security detection. This document describes a framework, including requirements and analysis of existing approaches, and specifies an information model for development of aSIP common log file format that can be used uniformly by user agents, proxies, registrars, and redirect servers as well as back-to-back user agents.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 6873
The SIPCLF working group has defined a Common Log Format (CLF) framework for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) servers. This CLF mimics the successful event logging format found in well-known web servers like Apache and web proxies like Squid. This document proposes an indexed text encoding format for the SIP CLF that retains the key advantages of a text-based format while significantly increasing processing performance over a purely text-based implementation. This file format adheres to the SIP CLF information model and provides an effective encoding scheme for all mandatory and optional fields that appear in a SIP CLF record.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6910
The "completion of calls" feature defined in this specification allows the caller of a failed call to be notified when the callee becomes available to receive a call.

For the realization of a basic solution without queuing, this document references the usage of the dialog event package (RFC 4235) that is described as 'Automatic Redial' in "Session InitiationProtocol Service Examples" (RFC 5359).

For the realization of a more comprehensive solution with queuing, this document introduces an architecture for implementing these features in the Session Initiation Protocol where "completion of calls" implementations associated with the caller's and callee's endpoints cooperate to place the caller's request for completion of calls into a queue at the callee's endpoint; when a caller's request is ready to be serviced, re-attempt of the original, failed call is then made.

The architecture is designed to interoperate well with existing completion of calls solutions in other networks.

Authors:C. Boulton, L. Miniero, G. Munson.
Date:April 2013
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6917
The MediaCtrl working group in the IETF has proposed an architecture for controlling media services. The Session Initiation Protocol(SIP) is used as the signaling protocol that provides many inherent capabilities for message routing. In addition to such signaling properties, a need exists for intelligent, application-level media service selection based on non-static signaling properties. This is especially true when considered in conjunction with deployment architectures that include 1:M and M:N combinations of ApplicationServers and Media Servers. This document introduces a Media ResourceBroker (MRB) entity, which manages the availability of Media Servers and the media resource demands of Application Servers. The document includes potential deployment options for an MRB and appropriate interfaces to Application Servers and Media Servers.

RFC 6935 IPv6 and UDP Checksums for Tunneled Packets
 
Authors:M. Eubanks, P. Chimento, M. Westerlund.
Date:April 2013
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 2460
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6935
This document updates the IPv6 specification (RFC 2460) to improve performance when a tunnel protocol uses UDP with IPv6 to tunnel packets. The performance improvement is obtained by relaxing theIPv6 UDP checksum requirement for tunnel protocols whose header information is protected on the "inner" packet being carried.Relaxing this requirement removes the overhead associated with the computation of UDP checksums on IPv6 packets that carry the tunnel protocol packets. This specification describes how the IPv6 UDP checksum requirement can be relaxed when the encapsulated packet itself contains a checksum. It also describes the limitations and risks of this approach and discusses the restrictions on the use of this method.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6940
This specification defines REsource LOcation And Discovery (RELOAD), a peer-to-peer (P2P) signaling protocol for use on the Internet. AP2P signaling protocol provides its clients with an abstract storage and messaging service between a set of cooperating peers that form the overlay network. RELOAD is designed to support a P2P SessionInitiation Protocol (P2PSIP) network, but can be utilized by other applications with similar requirements by defining new usages that specify the Kinds of data that need to be stored for a particular application. RELOAD defines a security model based on a certificate enrollment service that provides unique identities. NAT traversal is a fundamental service of the protocol. RELOAD also allows access from "client" nodes that do not need to route traffic or store data for others.

RFC 6946 Processing of IPv6 "Atomic" Fragments
 
Authors:F. Gont.
Date:May 2013
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 2460, RFC 5722
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6946
The IPv6 specification allows packets to contain a Fragment Header without the packet being actually fragmented into multiple pieces (we refer to these packets as "atomic fragments"). Such packets are typically sent by hosts that have received an ICMPv6 "Packet Too Big" error message that advertises a Next-Hop MTU smaller than 1280 bytes, and are currently processed by some implementations as normal"fragmented traffic" (i.e., they are "reassembled" with any other queued fragments that supposedly correspond to the same original packet). Thus, an attacker can cause hosts to employ atomic fragments by forging ICMPv6 "Packet Too Big" error messages, and then launch any fragmentation-based attacks against such traffic. This document discusses the generation of the aforementioned atomic fragments and the corresponding security implications. Additionally, this document formally updates RFC 2460 and RFC 5722, such that IPv6 atomic fragments are processed independently of any other fragments, thus completely eliminating the aforementioned attack vector.
 
RFC 6951 UDP Encapsulation of Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) Packets for End-Host to End-Host Communication
 
Authors:M. Tuexen, R. Stewart.
Date:May 2013
Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 8899
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6951
This document describes a simple method of encapsulating StreamControl Transmission Protocol (SCTP) packets into UDP packets and its limitations. This allows the usage of SCTP in networks with legacyNATs that do not support SCTP. It can also be used to implement SCTP on hosts without directly accessing the IP layer, for example, implementing it as part of the application without requiring special privileges.

Please note that this document only describes the functionality required within an SCTP stack to add on UDP encapsulation, providing only those mechanisms for two end-hosts to communicate with each other over UDP ports. In particular, it does not provide mechanisms to determine whether UDP encapsulation is being used by the peer, nor the mechanisms for determining which remote UDP port number can be used. These functions are out of scope for this document.

This document covers only end-hosts and not tunneling (egress or ingress) endpoints.

Date:June 2013
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 6957
The document describes a proxy-based mechanism allowing the use ofDuplicate Address Detection (DAD) by IPv6 nodes in a point-to- multipoint architecture with a "split-horizon" forwarding scheme, primarily deployed for Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and Fiber access architectures. Based on the DAD signaling, the first-hop router stores in a Binding Table all known IPv6 addresses used on a point- to-multipoint domain (e.g., VLAN). When a node performs DAD for an address already used by another node, the first-hop router defends the address rather than the device using the address.

Obsoletes:RFC 6222
Updates:RFC 3550
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7022
The RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Canonical Name (CNAME) is a persistent transport-level identifier for an RTP endpoint. While theSynchronization Source (SSRC) identifier of an RTP endpoint may change if a collision is detected or when the RTP application is restarted, its RTCP CNAME is meant to stay unchanged, so that RTP endpoints can be uniquely identified and associated with their RTP media streams.

For proper functionality, RTCP CNAMEs should be unique within the participants of an RTP session. However, the existing guidelines for choosing the RTCP CNAME provided in the RTP standard (RFC 3550) are insufficient to achieve this uniqueness. RFC 6222 was published to update those guidelines to allow endpoints to choose unique RTCPCNAMEs. Unfortunately, later investigations showed that some parts of the new algorithms were unnecessarily complicated and/or ineffective. This document addresses these concerns and replaces RFC6222.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 7024
With BGP/MPLS Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), providing any-to-any connectivity among sites of a given VPN would require each ProviderEdge (PE) router connected to one or more of these sites to hold all the routes of that VPN. The approach described in this document allows the VPN service provider to reduce the number of PE routers that have to maintain all these routes by requiring only a subset of these routers to maintain all these routes.

Furthermore, when PE routers use ingress replication to carry the multicast traffic of VPN customers, the approach described in this document may, under certain circumstances, reduce bandwidth inefficiency associated with ingress replication and redistribute the replication load among PE routers.

 
RFC 7026 Retiring TLVs from the Associated Channel Header of the MPLS Generic Associated Channel

Updates:RFC 5586
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7026
The MPLS Generic Associated Channel (G-ACh) is a generalization of the applicability of the pseudowire (PW) Associated Channel Header(ACH). RFC 5586 defines the concept of TLV constructs that can be carried in messages on the G-ACh by placing them in the ACH between the fixed header fields and the G-ACh message. These TLVs are calledACH TLVs

No Associated Channel Type yet defined uses an ACH TLV. Furthermore, it is believed that handling TLVs in hardware introduces significant problems to the fast path, and since G-ACh messages are intended to be processed substantially in hardware, the use of ACH TLVs is undesirable.

This document updates RFC 5586 by retiring ACH TLVs and removing the associated registry.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 7037
The DHCPv6 RADIUS option provides a mechanism to exchange authorization and identification information between the DHCPv6 relay agent and DHCPv6 server. This architecture assumes that the NetworkAccess Server (NAS) acts as both a DHCPv6 relay agent and RADIUS client. When receiving messages from the DHCPv6 clients, the NAS consults the RADIUS server and adds the RADIUS response when forwarding the DHCPv6 client's messages to the DHCPv6 server. TheDHCPv6 server then uses that additional information to generate an appropriate response to the DHCPv6 client's requests.

It also specifies how extension headers should be registered by IANA, with a corresponding minor update to RFC 2780.
 
RFC 7048 Neighbor Unreachability Detection Is Too Impatient
 
Authors:E. Nordmark, I. Gashinsky.
Date:January 2014
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 4861
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7048
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery includes Neighbor Unreachability Detection.That function is very useful when a host has an alternative neighbor-- for instance, when there are multiple default routers -- since it allows the host to switch to the alternative neighbor in a short time. By default, this time is 3 seconds after the node starts probing. However, if there are no alternative neighbors, this timeout behavior is far too impatient. This document specifies relaxed rules for Neighbor Discovery retransmissions that allow an implementation to choose different timeout behavior based on whether or not there are alternative neighbors. This document updates RFC4861.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7049
The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a data format whose design goals include the possibility of extremely small code size, fairly small message size, and extensibility without the need for version negotiation. These design goals make it different from earlier binary serializations such as ASN.1 and MessagePack.
 
RFC 7050 Discovery of the IPv6 Prefix Used for IPv6 Address Synthesis
 
Authors:T. Savolainen, J. Korhonen, D. Wing.
Date:November 2013
Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 8880
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7050
This document describes a method for detecting the presence of DNS64 and for learning the IPv6 prefix used for protocol translation on an access network. The method depends on the existence of a well-knownIPv4-only fully qualified domain name "ipv4only.arpa.". The information learned enables nodes to perform local IPv6 address synthesis and to potentially avoid NAT64 on dual-stack and multi- interface deployments.
 
RFC 7053 SACK-IMMEDIATELY Extension for the Stream Control Transmission Protocol
 
Authors:M. Tuexen, I. Ruengeler, R. Stewart.
Date:November 2013
Formats:txt json html
Obsoleted by:RFC 9260
Updates:RFC 4960
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7053
This document updates RFC 4960 by defining a method for the sender of a DATA chunk to indicate that the corresponding SelectiveAcknowledgment (SACK) chunk should be sent back immediately and should not be delayed. It is done by specifying a bit in the DATA chunk header, called the (I)mmediate bit, which can get set by either the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation or the application using an SCTP stack. Since unknown flags in chunk headers are ignored by SCTP implementations, this extension does not introduce any interoperability problems.

RFC 7060 Using LDP Multipoint Extensions on Targeted LDP Sessions
 
Authors:M. Napierala, E. Rosen, IJ. Wijnands.
Date:November 2013
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7060
Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) can be used to set up Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) and Multipoint-to-Multipoint (MP2MP) Label SwitchedPaths. However, the specification for the Multipoint Extensions toLDP presupposes that the two endpoints of an LDP session are directly connected. The LDP base specification allows for the case where the two endpoints of an LDP session are not directly connected; such a session is known as a "Targeted LDP" session. This document provides the specification for using the LDP Multipoint Extensions over aTargeted LDP session.

RFC 7074 Revised Definition of the GMPLS Switching Capability and Type Fields
 
Authors:L. Berger, J. Meuric.
Date:November 2013
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 3471, RFC 4202, RFC 4203, RFC 5307
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7074
GMPLS provides control for multiple switching technologies and for hierarchical switching within a technology. GMPLS routing and signaling use common values to indicate the type of switching technology. These values are carried in routing protocols via theSwitching Capability field, and in signaling protocols via theSwitching Type field. While the values used in these fields are the primary indicators of the technology and hierarchy level being controlled, the values are not consistently defined and used across the different technologies supported by GMPLS. This document is intended to resolve the inconsistent definition and use of theSwitching Capability and Type fields by narrowly scoping the meaning and use of the fields. This document updates all documents that use the GMPLS Switching Capability and Types fields, in particular RFCs3471, 4202, 4203, and 5307.
 
RFC 7075 Realm-Based Redirection In Diameter

Date:November 2013
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 6733
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7075
The Diameter protocol includes a capability for message redirection, controlled by an application-independent "redirect agent". In some circumstances, an operator may wish to redirect messages to an alternate domain without specifying individual hosts. This document specifies an application-specific mechanism by which a Diameter server or proxy (node) can perform such a redirection when theStraightforward-Naming Authority Pointer (S-NAPTR) is not used for dynamic peer discovery. A node performing this new function is referred to as a "Realm-based Redirect Server".

This memo updates Sections 6.13 and 6.14 of RFC 6733 with respect to the usage of the Redirect-Host-Usage and Redirect-Max-Cache-TimeAttribute-Value Pairs (AVPs).

RFC 7090 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Callback
 
Authors:H. Schulzrinne, H. Tschofenig, C. Holmberg, M. Patel.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7090
After an emergency call is completed (terminated either prematurely by the emergency caller or normally by the call taker), the call taker may feel the need for further communication. For example, the call may have been dropped by accident without the call taker having sufficient information about the current state of an accident victim.A call taker may trigger a callback to the emergency caller using the contact information provided with the initial emergency call. This callback could, under certain circumstances, be treated like any other call and, as a consequence, it may get blocked by authorization policies or may get forwarded to an answering machine.

The IETF emergency services architecture specification already offers a solution approach for allowing Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) callbacks to bypass authorization policies in order to reach the caller without unnecessary delays. Unfortunately, the specified mechanism only supports limited scenarios. This document discusses shortcomings of the current mechanisms and illustrates additional scenarios where better-than-normal call treatment behavior would be desirable. We describe a solution based on a new header field value for the SIP Priority header field, called "psap-callback", to markPSAP callbacks.

RFC 7104 Duplication Grouping Semantics in the Session Description Protocol
 
Authors:A. Begen, Y. Cai, H. Ou.
Date:January 2014
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7104
Packet loss is undesirable for real-time multimedia sessions, but it can occur due to congestion or other unplanned network outages. This is especially true for IP multicast networks, where packet loss patterns can vary greatly between receivers. One technique that can be used to recover from packet loss without incurring unbounded delay for all the receivers is to duplicate the packets and send them in separate redundant streams. This document defines the semantics for grouping redundant streams in the Session Description Protocol (SDP).The semantics defined in this document are to be used with the SDPGrouping Framework. Grouping semantics at the Synchronization Source(SSRC) level are also defined in this document for RTP streams usingSSRC multiplexing.
 
RFC 7105 Using Device-Provided Location-Related Measurements in Location Configuration Protocols

Date:January 2014
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7105
This document describes a protocol for a Device to provide location- related measurement data to a Location Information Server (LIS) within a request for location information. Location-related measurement information provides observations concerning properties related to the position of a Device; this information could be data about network attachment or about the physical environment. A LIS is able to use the location-related measurement data to improve the accuracy of the location estimate it provides to the Device. A basic set of location-related measurements are defined, including common modes of network attachment as well as assisted Global NavigationSatellite System (GNSS) parameters.

RFC 7112 Implications of Oversized IPv6 Header Chains
 
Authors:F. Gont, V. Manral, R. Bonica.
Date:January 2014
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 2460
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7112
The IPv6 specification allows IPv6 Header Chains of an arbitrary size. The specification also allows options that can, in turn, extend each of the headers. In those scenarios in which the IPv6Header Chain or options are unusually long and packets are fragmented, or scenarios in which the fragment size is very small, the First Fragment of a packet may fail to include the entire IPv6Header Chain. This document discusses the interoperability and security problems of such traffic, and updates RFC 2460 such that theFirst Fragment of a packet is required to contain the entire IPv6Header Chain.

RFC 7117 Multicast in Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS)
 
Authors:R. Aggarwal, Ed., Y. Kamite, L. Fang, Y. Rekhter, C. Kodeboniya.
Date:February 2014
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7117
RFCs 4761 and 4762 describe a solution for Virtual Private LANService (VPLS) multicast that relies on the use of point-to-point or multipoint-to-point unicast Label Switched Paths (LSPs) for carrying multicast traffic. This solution has certain limitations for certainVPLS multicast traffic profiles. For example, it may result in highly non-optimal bandwidth utilization when a large amount of multicast traffic is to be transported.

This document describes solutions for overcoming a subset of the limitations of the existing VPLS multicast solution. It describes procedures for VPLS multicast that utilize multicast trees in the service provider (SP) network. The solution described in this document allows sharing of one such multicast tree among multipleVPLS instances. Furthermore, the solution described in this document allows a single multicast tree in the SP network to carry traffic belonging only to a specified set of one or more IP multicast streams from one or more VPLS instances.

The IPv6 addressing architecture includes a unicast interface identifier that is used in the creation of many IPv6 addresses.Interface identifiers are formed by a variety of methods. This document clarifies that the bits in an interface identifier have no meaning and that the entire identifier should be treated as an opaque value. In particular, RFC 4291 defines a method by which theUniversal and Group bits of an IEEE link-layer address are mapped into an IPv6 unicast interface identifier. This document clarifies that those two bits are significant only in the process of deriving interface identifiers from an IEEE link-layer address, and it updatesRFC 4291 accordingly.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7140
This document introduces a hub and spoke multipoint (HSMP) LabelSwitched Path (LSP), which allows traffic from root to leaf through point-to-multipoint (P2MP) LSPs and also leaf to root along the reverse path. That means traffic entering the HSMP LSP from the application/customer at the root node travels downstream to each leaf node, exactly as if it were traveling downstream along a P2MP LSP to each leaf node. Upstream traffic entering the HSMP LSP at any leaf node travels upstream along the tree to the root, as if it were unicast to the root. Direct communication among the leaf nodes is not allowed.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7143
This document describes a transport protocol for SCSI that works on top of TCP. The iSCSI protocol aims to be fully compliant with the standardized SCSI Architecture Model (SAM-2). RFC 3720 defined the original iSCSI protocol. RFC 3721 discusses iSCSI naming examples and discovery techniques. Subsequently, RFC 3980 added an additional naming format to the iSCSI protocol. RFC 4850 followed up by adding a new public extension key to iSCSI. RFC 5048 offered a number of clarifications as well as a few improvements and corrections to the original iSCSI protocol.

This document obsoletes RFCs 3720, 3980, 4850, and 5048 by consolidating them into a single document and making additional updates to the consolidated specification. This document also updates RFC 3721. The text in this document thus supersedes the text in all the noted RFCs wherever there is a difference in semantics.

Date:March 2014
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7148
This specification defines extensions to the Proxy Mobile IPv6 protocol for allowing a mobile router in a Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain to obtain IP prefixes for its attached mobile networks using DHCPv6 prefix delegation. Network-based mobility management support is provided for those delegated IP prefixes just as it is provided for the mobile node's home address. Even if the mobile router performs a handoff and changes its network point of attachment, mobility support is ensured for all the delegated IP prefixes and for all the IP nodes in the mobile network that use IP address configuration from those delegated IP prefixes.

Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 4360, RFC 5701
Updated by:RFC 9184
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7153
This document reorganizes the IANA registries for the type values and sub-type values of the BGP Extended Communities attribute and the BGPIPv6-Address-Specific Extended Communities attribute. This is done in order to remove interdependencies among the registries, thus making it easier for IANA to determine which codepoints are available for assignment in which registries. This document also clarifies the information that must be provided to IANA when requesting an allocation from one or more of these registries. These changes are compatible with the existing allocations and thus do not affect protocol implementations. The changes will, however, impact the"IANA Considerations" sections of future protocol specifications.This document updates RFC 4360 and RFC 5701.

RFC 7156 Diameter Support for Proxy Mobile IPv6 Localized Routing
 
Authors:G. Zorn, Q. Wu, J. Korhonen.
Date:April 2014
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7156
In Proxy Mobile IPv6, packets received from a Mobile Node (MN) by theMobile Access Gateway (MAG) to which it is attached are typically tunneled to a Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) for routing. The term"localized routing" refers to a method by which packets are routed directly between an MN's MAG and the MAG of its Correspondent Node(CN) without involving any LMA. In a Proxy Mobile IPv6 deployment, it may be desirable to control the establishment of localized routing sessions between two MAGs in a Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain by requiring that the session be authorized. This document specifies how to accomplish this using the Diameter protocol.

Formats:txt html json
Obsoletes:RFC 4551, RFC 5162
Updates:RFC 2683
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7162
Often, multiple IMAP (RFC 3501) clients need to coordinate changes to a common IMAP mailbox. Examples include different clients working on behalf of the same user and multiple users accessing shared mailboxes. These clients need a mechanism to efficiently synchronize state changes for messages within the mailbox.

Initially defined in RFC 4551, the Conditional Store facility provides a protected update mechanism for message state information and a mechanism for requesting only changes to the message state.This memo updates that mechanism and obsoletes RFC 4551, based on operational experience.

This document additionally updates another IMAP extension, QuickResynchronization, which builds on the Conditional STORE extension to provide an IMAP client the ability to fully resynchronize a mailbox as part of the SELECT/EXAMINE command, without the need for additional server-side state or client round trips. Hence, this memo obsoletes RFC 5162.

Finally, this document also updates the line-length recommendation inSection 3.2.1.5 of RFC 2683.

Formats:txt html json
Obsoletes:RFC 6506
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7166
Currently, OSPF for IPv6 (OSPFv3) uses IPsec as the only mechanism for authenticating protocol packets. This behavior is different from authentication mechanisms present in other routing protocols (OSPFv2,Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), RIP, and RoutingInformation Protocol Next Generation (RIPng)). In some environments, it has been found that IPsec is difficult to configure and maintain and thus cannot be used. This document defines an alternative mechanism to authenticate OSPFv3 protocol packets so that OSPFv3 does not depend only upon IPsec for authentication.

The OSPFv3 Authentication Trailer was originally defined in RFC 6506.This document obsoletes RFC 6506 by providing a revised definition, including clarifications and refinements of the procedures.

Date:May 2014
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 6325
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7172
The IETF has standardized Transparent Interconnection of Lots ofLinks (TRILL), a protocol for least-cost transparent frame routing in multi-hop networks with arbitrary topologies and link technologies, using link-state routing and a hop count. The TRILL base protocol standard supports the labeling of TRILL Data packets with up to 4KIDs. However, there are applications that require a larger number of labels providing configurable isolation of data. This document updates RFC 6325 by specifying optional extensions to the TRILL base protocol to safely accomplish this. These extensions, called fine- grained labeling, are primarily intended for use in large data centers, that is, those with more than 4K users requiring configurable data isolation from each other.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7196
Route Flap Damping (RFD) was first proposed to reduce BGP churn in routers. Unfortunately, RFD was found to severely penalize sites for being well connected because topological richness amplifies the number of update messages exchanged. Many operators have turned RFD off. Based on experimental measurement, this document recommends adjusting a few RFD algorithmic constants and limits in order to reduce the high risks with RFD. The result is damping a non-trivial amount of long-term churn without penalizing well-behaved prefixes' normal convergence process.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 7197
A straightforward approach to provide protection against packet losses due to network outages with a longest duration of T time units is to duplicate the original packets and send each copy separated in time by at least T time units. This approach is commonly referred to as "time-shifted redundancy", "temporal redundancy", or simply"delayed duplication". This document defines an attribute to indicate the presence of temporally redundant media streams and the duplication delay in the Session Description Protocol.
 
RFC 7198 Duplicating RTP Streams
 
Authors:A. Begen, C. Perkins.
Date:April 2014
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7198
Packet loss is undesirable for real-time multimedia sessions but can occur due to a variety of reasons including unplanned network outages. In unicast transmissions, recovering from such an outage can be difficult depending on the outage duration, due to the potentially large number of missing packets. In multicast transmissions, recovery is even more challenging as many receivers could be impacted by the outage. For this challenge, one solution that does not incur unbounded delay is to duplicate the packets and send them in separate redundant streams, provided that the underlying network satisfies certain requirements. This document explains howReal-time Transport Protocol (RTP) streams can be duplicated without breaking RTP or RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) rules.

Updated by:RFC 7438
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7246
An IP Multicast Distribution Tree (MDT) may traverse both label switching (i.e., Multiprotocol Label Switching, or MPLS) and non- label switching regions of a network. Typically, the MDT begins and ends in non-MPLS regions, but travels through an MPLS region. In such cases, it can be useful to begin building the MDT as a pure IPMDT, then convert it to an MPLS Multipoint Label Switched Path(MP-LSP) when it enters an MPLS-enabled region, and then convert it back to a pure IP MDT when it enters a non-MPLS-enabled region.Other documents specify the procedures for building such a hybridMDT, using Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) in the non-MPLS region of the network, and using Multipoint Label DistributionProtocol (mLDP) in the MPLS region. This document extends those procedures to handle the case where the link connecting the two regions is a Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) table link, as defined in the "BGP IP/MPLS VPN" specification. However, this document is primarily aimed at particular use cases where VRFs are used to support multicast applications other than multicast VPN.

Updated by:RFC 7959, RFC 8613, RFC 8974, RFC 9175
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7252
The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is a specialized web transfer protocol for use with constrained nodes and constrained(e.g., low-power, lossy) networks. The nodes often have 8-bit microcontrollers with small amounts of ROM and RAM, while constrained networks such as IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks(6LoWPANs) often have high packet error rates and a typical throughput of 10s of kbit/s. The protocol is designed for machine- to-machine (M2M) applications such as smart energy and building automation.

CoAP provides a request/response interaction model between application endpoints, supports built-in discovery of services and resources, and includes key concepts of the Web such as URIs andInternet media types. CoAP is designed to easily interface with HTTP for integration with the Web while meeting specialized requirements such as multicast support, very low overhead, and simplicity for constrained environments.

Using theRTCP XR IDMS Report Block defined in this document, media playout information from participants in a synchronization group can be collected. Based on the collected information, an RTCP IDMS SettingsPacket can then be sent to distribute a common target playout point to which all the distributed receivers, sharing a media experience, can synchronize.

Typical use cases in which IDMS is useful are social TV, shared service control (i.e., applications where two or more geographically separated users are watching a media stream together), distance learning, networked video walls, networked loudspeakers, etc.

Some MPLS labels have been allocated for specific purposes. A block of labels (0-15) has been set aside to this end; these labels are commonly called "reserved labels". They will be called "special- purpose labels" in this document.

As there are only 16 of these special-purpose labels, caution is needed in the allocation of new special-purpose labels; yet, at the same time, forward progress should be allowed when one is called for.

This memo defines new procedures for the allocation and retirement of special-purpose labels, as well as a method to extend the special- purpose label space and a description of how to handle extended special-purpose labels in the data plane. Finally, this memo renames the IANA registry for special-purpose labels to "Special-Purpose MPLSLabel Values" and creates a new registry called the "ExtendedSpecial-Purpose MPLS Label Values" registry.

This document updates a number of previous RFCs that use the term"reserved label". Specifically, this document updates RFCs 3032,3038, 3209, 3811, 4182, 4928, 5331, 5586, 5921, 5960, 6391, 6478, and6790.

Applications using the Internet already have access to some topology information of Internet Service Provider (ISP) networks. For example, views to Internet routing tables at Looking Glass servers are available and can be practically downloaded to many network application clients. What is missing is knowledge of the underlying network topologies from the point of view of ISPs. In other words, what an ISP prefers in terms of traffic optimization -- and a way to distribute it.

The Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) services defined in this document provide network information (e.g., basic network location structure and preferences of network paths) with the goal of modifying network resource consumption patterns while maintaining or improving application performance. The basic information of ALTO is based on abstract maps of a network. These maps provide a simplified view, yet enough information about a network for applications to effectively utilize them. Additional services are built on top of the maps.

This document describes a protocol implementing the ALTO services.Although the ALTO services would primarily be provided by ISPs, other entities, such as content service providers, could also provide ALTO services. Applications that could use the ALTO services are those that have a choice to which end points to connect. Examples of such applications are peer-to-peer (P2P) and content delivery networks.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 7286
The goal of Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) is to provide guidance to applications that have to select one or several hosts from a set of candidates capable of providing a desired resource. ALTO is realized by a client-server protocol. Before anALTO client can ask for guidance, it needs to discover one or moreALTO servers.

This document specifies a procedure for resource-consumer-initiatedALTO server discovery, which can be used if the ALTO client is embedded in the resource consumer.

RFC 7293 The Require-Recipient-Valid-Since Header Field and SMTP Service Extension
 
Authors:W. Mills, M. Kucherawy.
Date:July 2014
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7293
This document defines an extension for the Simple Mail TransferProtocol (SMTP) called "RRVS" to provide a method for senders to indicate to receivers a point in time when the ownership of the target mailbox was known to the sender. This can be used to detect changes of mailbox ownership and thus prevent mail from being delivered to the wrong party. This document also defines a header field called "Require-Recipient-Valid-Since" that can be used to tunnel the request through servers that do not support the extension.

The intended use of these facilities is on automatically generated messages, such as account statements or password change instructions, that might contain sensitive information, though it may also be useful in other applications.

RFC 7311 The Accumulated IGP Metric Attribute for BGP
 
Authors:P. Mohapatra, R. Fernando, E. Rosen, J. Uttaro.
Date:August 2014
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7311
Routing protocols that have been designed to run within a single administrative domain (IGPs) generally do so by assigning a metric to each link and then choosing, as the installed path between two nodes, the path for which the total distance (sum of the metric of each link along the path) is minimized. BGP, designed to provide routing over a large number of independent administrative domains (autonomous systems), does not make its path-selection decisions through the use of a metric. It is generally recognized that any attempt to do so would incur significant scalability problems as well as inter- administration coordination problems. However, there are deployments in which a single administration runs several contiguous BGP networks. In such cases, it can be desirable, within that single administrative domain, for BGP to select paths based on a metric, just as an IGP would do. The purpose of this document is to provide a specification for doing so.

This document updates the Cryptographic Algorithm ImplementationRequirements for the Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) andAuthentication Header (AH). It also adds usage guidance to help in the selection of these algorithms.

ESP and AH protocols make use of various cryptographic algorithms to provide confidentiality and/or data origin authentication to protected data communications in the IP Security (IPsec) architecture. To ensure interoperability between disparate implementations, the IPsec standard specifies a set of mandatory-to- implement algorithms. This document specifies the current set of mandatory-to-implement algorithms for ESP and AH, specifies algorithms that should be implemented because they may be promoted to mandatory at some future time, and also recommends against the implementation of some obsolete algorithms. Usage guidance is also provided to help the user of ESP and AH best achieve their security goals through appropriate choices of cryptographic algorithms.

This document obsoletes RFC 4835.

Updated by:RFC 9374
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7343
This document specifies an updated Overlay Routable CryptographicHash Identifiers (ORCHID) format that obsoletes that in RFC 4843.These identifiers are intended to be used as endpoint identifiers at applications and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and not as identifiers for network location at the IP layer, i.e., locators.They are designed to appear as application-layer entities and at the existing IPv6 APIs, but they should not appear in actual IPv6 headers. To make them more like regular IPv6 addresses, they are expected to be routable at an overlay level. Consequently, while they are considered non-routable addresses from the IPv6-layer perspective, all existing IPv6 applications are expected to be able to use them in a manner compatible with current IPv6 addresses.

The Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash Identifiers originally defined in RFC 4843 lacked a mechanism for cryptographic algorithm agility. The updated ORCHID format specified in this document removes this limitation by encoding, in the identifier itself, an index to the suite of cryptographic algorithms in use.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 7358
The label advertising behavior of an LDP speaker for a givenForwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) is governed by the FEC type and not necessarily by the LDP session's negotiated label advertisement mode. This document updates RFC 5036 to make that fact clear. It also updates RFCs 3212, 4447, 5918, 6388, and 7140 by specifying the label advertisement mode for all currently defined LDP FEC types.
 
RFC 7361 LDP Extensions for Optimized MAC Address Withdrawal in a Hierarchical Virtual Private LAN Service (H-VPLS)
 
Authors:P. Dutta, F. Balus, O. Stokes, G. Calvignac, D. Fedyk.
Date:September 2014
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7361
RFC 4762 describes a mechanism to remove or unlearn Media AccessControl (MAC) addresses that have been dynamically learned in aVirtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) instance for faster convergence on topology changes. The procedure also removes MAC addresses in theVPLS that do not require relearning due to such topology changes.This document defines an enhancement to the MAC address withdraw procedure with an empty MAC list (RFC 4762); this enhancement enables a Provider Edge (PE) device to remove only the MAC addresses that need to be relearned. Additional extensions to RFC 4762 MAC withdraw procedures are specified to provide an optimized MAC flushing for theProvider Backbone Bridging (PBB) VPLS specified in RFC 7041.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7369
The work related to GMPLS Ethernet Label Switching (GELS) extendedGMPLS RSVP-TE to support the establishment of Ethernet LabelSwitching Paths (LSPs). IEEE Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management(CFM) specifies an adjunct Operations, Administration, andMaintenance (OAM) flow to check connectivity in Ethernet networks.CFM can also be used with Ethernet LSPs for fault detection and triggering recovery mechanisms. The ITU-T Y.1731 specification builds on CFM and specifies additional OAM mechanisms, includingPerformance Monitoring, for Ethernet networks. This document specifies extensions of the GMPLS RSVP-TE protocol to support the setup of the associated Ethernet OAM entities of Ethernet LSPs and defines the Ethernet technology-specific TLVs based on the GMPLS OAMConfiguration Framework. This document supports, but does not modify, the IEEE and ITU-T OAM mechanisms.

Obsoletes:RFC 6237
Updates:RFC 4466
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7377
The IMAP4 specification allows the searching of only the selected mailbox. A user often wants to search multiple mailboxes, and a client that wishes to support this must issue a series of SELECT andSEARCH commands, waiting for each to complete before moving on to the next. This extension allows a client to search multiple mailboxes with one command, limiting the delays caused by many round trips and not requiring disruption of the currently selected mailbox. This extension also uses MAILBOX, UIDVALIDITY, and TAG fields in ESEARCH responses, allowing a client to pipeline the searches if it chooses.This document updates RFC 4466 and obsoletes RFC 6237.

RFC 7389 Separation of Control and User Plane for Proxy Mobile IPv6
 
Authors:R. Wakikawa, R. Pazhyannur, S. Gundavelli, C. Perkins.
Date:October 2014
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7389
This document specifies a method to split the control plane (CP) and user plane (UP) for a network infrastructure based on Proxy MobileIPv6 (PMIPv6). Existing specifications allow a mobile access gateway(MAG) to separate its control and user plane using the AlternateCare-of Address mobility option for IPv6 or Alternate IPv4 Care-ofAddress option for IPv4. However, the current specification does not provide any mechanism allowing the local mobility anchor (LMA) to perform an analogous functional split. To remedy that shortcoming, this document specifies a mobility option enabling an LMA to provide an alternate LMA address to be used for the bidirectional user-plane traffic between the MAG and LMA. With this new option, an LMA will be able to use an IP address for its user plane that is different than the IP address used for the control plane.

Formats:txt json html
Obsoletes:RFC 5201
Updated by:RFC 8002, RFC 9374
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7401
This document specifies the details of the Host Identity Protocol(HIP). HIP allows consenting hosts to securely establish and maintain shared IP-layer state, allowing separation of the identifier and locator roles of IP addresses, thereby enabling continuity of communications across IP address changes. HIP is based on a Diffie-Hellman key exchange, using public key identifiers from a new HostIdentity namespace for mutual peer authentication. The protocol is designed to be resistant to denial-of-service (DoS) and man-in-the- middle (MitM) attacks. When used together with another suitable security protocol, such as the Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP), it provides integrity protection and optional encryption for upper- layer protocols, such as TCP and UDP.

This document obsoletes RFC 5201 and addresses the concerns raised by the IESG, particularly that of crypto agility. It also incorporates lessons learned from the implementations of RFC 5201.

RFC 7403 A Media-Based Traceroute Function for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
 
Authors:H. Kaplan.
Date:November 2014
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7403
SIP already provides the ability to perform hop-by-hop traceroute forSIP messages using the Max-Forwards header field to determine the reachability path of requests to a target. A mechanism for media- loopback calls has also been defined separately, which enables test calls to be generated that result in media being looped back to the originator. This document describes a means of performing hop-by-hop traceroute-style test calls using the media-loopback mechanism to test the media path when SIP sessions go through media-relaying back- to-back user agents (B2BUAs).

Authors:E. Noel, P. Williams.
Date:February 2015
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7415
The prevalent use of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) in NextGeneration Networks necessitates that SIP networks provide adequate control mechanisms to maintain transaction throughput by preventing congestion collapse during traffic overloads. A loss-based solution to remedy known vulnerabilities of the SIP 503 (Service Unavailable) overload control mechanism has already been proposed. Using the same signaling, this document proposes a rate-based control scheme to complement the loss-based control scheme.

RFC 7433 A Mechanism for Transporting User-to-User Call Control Information in SIP
 
Authors:A. Johnston, J. Rafferty.
Date:January 2015
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7433
There is a class of applications that benefit from using SIP to exchange User-to-User Information (UUI) data during session establishment. This information, known as call control UUI data, is a small piece of data inserted by an application initiating the session and utilized by an application accepting the session. The syntax and semantics for the UUI data used by a specific application are defined by a UUI package. This UUI data is opaque to SIP and its function is unrelated to any basic SIP function. This document defines a new SIP header field, User-to-User, to transport UUI data, along with an extension mechanism.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7434
The motivation and use cases for interworking and transporting User- to-User Information (UUI) from the ITU-T Digital SubscriberSignalling System No. 1 (DSS1) User-user information element withinSIP are described in RFC 6567. As networks move to SIP, it is important that applications requiring this data can continue to function in SIP networks as well as have the ability to interwork with this ISDN service for end-to-end transparency. This document defines a usage (a new package called the ISDN UUI package) of theUser-to-User header field to enable interworking with this ISDN service.

This document covers interworking with both public ISDN and privateISDN capabilities, so the potential interworking with QSIG will also be addressed.

The package is identified by the new value "isdn-uui" of the"purpose" header field parameter.

 
RFC 7438 Multipoint LDP (mLDP) In-Band Signaling with Wildcards

Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 6826, RFC 7246
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7438
There are scenarios in which an IP multicast tree traverses an MPLS domain. In these scenarios, it can be desirable to convert the IP multicast tree "seamlessly" into an MPLS Multipoint Label SwitchedPath (MP-LSP) when it enters the MPLS domain, and then to convert it back to an IP multicast tree when it exits the MPLS domain. Previous documents specify procedures that allow certain kinds of IP multicast trees (either Source-Specific Multicast trees or BidirectionalMulticast trees) to be attached to an MPLS Multipoint Label SwitchedPath (MP-LSP). However, the previous documents do not specify procedures for attaching IP Any-Source Multicast trees to MP-LSPs, nor do they specify procedures for aggregating multiple IP multicast trees onto a single MP-LSP. This document specifies the procedures to support these functions. It does so by defining "wildcard" encodings that make it possible to specify, when setting up an MP-LSP, that a set of IP multicast trees, or a shared IP multicast tree, should be attached to that MP-LSP. Support for non-bidirectional IPAny-Source Multicast trees is subject to certain applicability restrictions that are discussed in this document. This document updates RFCs 6826 and 7246.
 
RFC 7440 TFTP Windowsize Option

Date:January 2015
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7440
The "Trivial File Transfer Protocol" (RFC 1350) is a simple, lockstep, file transfer protocol that allows a client to get or put a file onto a remote host. One of its primary uses is in the early stages of nodes booting from a Local Area Network (LAN). TFTP has been used for this application because it is very simple to implement. The employment of a lockstep scheme limits throughput when used on a LAN.

This document describes a TFTP option that allows the client and server to negotiate a window size of consecutive blocks to send as an alternative for replacing the single-block lockstep schema. The TFTP option mechanism employed is described in "TFTP Option Extension"(RFC 2347).

Updates:RFC 6514
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7441
Many service providers offer "BGP/MPLS IP VPN" service to their customers. Existing IETF standards specify the procedures and protocols that a service provider uses in order to offer this service to customers who have IP unicast and IP multicast traffic in theirVPNs. It is also desirable to be able to support customers who haveMPLS multicast traffic in their VPNs. This document specifies the procedures and protocol extensions that are needed to support customers who use the Multipoint LDP (mLDP) as the control protocol for their MPLS multicast traffic. Existing standards do provide some support for customers who use mLDP, but only under a restrictive set of circumstances. This document generalizes the existing support to include all cases where the customer uses mLDP, without any restrictions. This document updates RFC 6514.

RFC 7462 URNs for the Alert-Info Header Field of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
 
Authors:L. Liess, Ed., R. Jesske, A. Johnston, D. Worley, P. Kyzivat.
Date:March 2015
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 3261
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7462
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) supports the capability to provide a reference to a specific rendering to be used by the UserAgent (UA) as an alerting signal (e.g., a ring tone or ringback tone) when the user is alerted. This is done using the Alert-Info header field. However, the reference (typically a URL) addresses only a specific network resource with specific rendering properties. There is currently no support for standard identifiers for describing the semantics of the alerting situation or the characteristics of the alerting signal, without being tied to a particular rendering. To overcome these limitations and support new applications, a new family of URNs for use in Alert-Info header fields (and situations with similar requirements) is defined in this specification.

This document normatively updates RFC 3261, which defines the SessionInitiation Protocol (SIP). It changes the usage of the Alert-Info header field defined in RFC 3261 by additionally allowing its use in any non-100 provisional response to INVITE. This document also permits proxies to add or remove an Alert-Info header field and to add or remove Alert-Info header field values.

 
RFC 7463 Shared Appearances of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Address of Record (AOR)

Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 3261, RFC 4235
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7463
This document describes the requirements and implementation of a group telephony feature commonly known as Bridged Line Appearance(BLA) or Multiple Line Appearance (MLA), or Shared Call/LineAppearance (SCA). When implemented using the Session InitiationProtocol (SIP), it is referred to as shared appearances of an Address of Record (AOR) since SIP does not have the concept of lines. This feature is commonly offered in IP Centrex services and IP PrivateBranch Exchange (IPBX) offerings and is likely to be implemented onSIP IP telephones and SIP feature servers used in a business environment. This feature allows several user agents (UAs) to share a common AOR, learn about calls placed and received by other UAs in the group, and pick up or join calls within the group. This document discusses use cases, lists requirements, and defines extensions to implement this feature. This specification updates RFCs 3261 and4235.

RFC 7466 An Optimization for the Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Neighborhood Discovery Protocol (NHDP)
 
Authors:C. Dearlove, T. Clausen.
Date:March 2015
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 6130, RFC 7181
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7466
The link quality mechanism of the Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET)Neighborhood Discovery Protocol (NHDP) enables "ignoring" some 1-hop neighbors if the measured link quality from that 1-hop neighbor is below an acceptable threshold while still retaining the corresponding link information as acquired from the HELLO message exchange. This allows immediate reinstatement of the 1-hop neighbor if the link quality later improves sufficiently.

NHDP also collects information about symmetric 2-hop neighbors.However, it specifies that if a link from a symmetric 1-hop neighbor ceases being symmetric, including while "ignored" (as described above), then corresponding symmetric 2-hop neighbors are removed.This may lead to symmetric 2-hop neighborhood information being permanently removed (until further HELLO messages are received) if the link quality of a symmetric 1-hop neighbor drops below the acceptable threshold, even if only for a moment.

This specification updates RFC 6130 "Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET)Neighborhood Discovery Protocol (NHDP)" and RFC 7181 "The OptimizedLink State Routing Protocol Version 2 (OLSRv2)" to permit, as an option, retaining, but ignoring, symmetric 2-hop information when the link quality from the corresponding 1-hop neighbor drops below the acceptable threshold. This allows immediate reinstatement of the symmetric 2-hop neighbor if the link quality later improves sufficiently, thus making the symmetric 2-hop neighborhood more"robust".

RFC 7469 Public Key Pinning Extension for HTTP
 
Authors:C. Evans, C. Palmer, R. Sleevi.
Date:April 2015
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7469
This document defines a new HTTP header that allows web host operators to instruct user agents to remember ("pin") the hosts' cryptographic identities over a period of time. During that time, user agents (UAs) will require that the host presents a certificate chain including at least one Subject Public Key Info structure whose fingerprint matches one of the pinned fingerprints for that host. By effectively reducing the number of trusted authorities who can authenticate the domain during the lifetime of the pin, pinning may reduce the incidence of man-in-the-middle attacks due to compromisedCertification Authorities.
 
RFC 7470 Conveying Vendor-Specific Constraints in the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol

Date:March 2015
Formats:txt html json
Obsoletes:RFC 7150
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7470
The Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) is used to convey path computation requests and responses both between PathComputation Clients (PCCs) and Path Computation Elements (PCEs) and between cooperating PCEs. In PCEP, the path computation requests carry details of the constraints and objective functions that the PCC wishes the PCE to apply in its computation.

This document defines a facility to carry vendor-specific information in PCEP using a dedicated object and a new Type-Length-Value (TLV) that can be carried in any PCEP object that supports TLVs.

This document obsoletes RFC 7150. The only changes from that document are a clarification of the use of the new Type-Length-Value and the allocation of a different code point for the VENDOR-INFORMATION object.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 7471
In certain networks, such as, but not limited to, financial information networks (e.g., stock market data providers), network performance information (e.g., link propagation delay) is becoming critical to data path selection.

This document describes common extensions to RFC 3630 "TrafficEngineering (TE) Extensions to OSPF Version 2" and RFC 5329 "TrafficEngineering Extensions to OSPF Version 3" to enable network performance information to be distributed in a scalable fashion. The information distributed using OSPF TE Metric Extensions can then be used to make path selection decisions based on network performance.

Note that this document only covers the mechanisms by which network performance information is distributed. The mechanisms for measuring network performance information or using that information, once distributed, are outside the scope of this document.

Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 8223
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7473
There is no capability negotiation done for Label DistributionProtocol (LDP) applications that set up Label Switched Paths (LSPs) for IP prefixes or that signal point-to-point (P2P) Pseudowires (PWs) for Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks (L2VPNs). When an LDP session comes up, an LDP speaker may unnecessarily advertise its local state for such LDP applications even when the peer session is established for some other applications like Multipoint LDP (mLDP) or the Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol (ICCP). This document defines a solution by which an LDP speaker announces to its peer its disinterest in such non-negotiated applications, thus disabling the unnecessary advertisement of corresponding application state, which would have otherwise been advertised over the established LDP session.
 
RFC 7474 Security Extension for OSPFv2 When Using Manual Key Management
 
Authors:M. Bhatia, S. Hartman, D. Zhang, A. Lindem, Ed..
Date:April 2015
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 2328, RFC 5709
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7474
The current OSPFv2 cryptographic authentication mechanism as defined in RFCs 2328 and 5709 is vulnerable to both inter-session and intra- session replay attacks when using manual keying. Additionally, the existing cryptographic authentication mechanism does not cover the IP header. This omission can be exploited to carry out various types of attacks.

This document defines changes to the authentication sequence number mechanism that will protect OSPFv2 from both inter-session and intra- session replay attacks when using manual keys for securing OSPFv2 protocol packets. Additionally, we also describe some changes in the cryptographic hash computation that will eliminate attacks resulting from OSPFv2 not protecting the IP header.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7494
The Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) protocol binding for IEEE 802.11 defines two Medium Access Control(MAC) modes for IEEE 802.11 Wireless Transmission Points (WTPs):Split and Local MAC. In the Split MAC mode, the partitioning of encryption/decryption functions is not clearly defined. In the SplitMAC mode description, IEEE 802.11 encryption is specified as located in either the Access Controller (AC) or the WTP, with no clear way for the AC to inform the WTP of where the encryption functionality should be located. This leads to interoperability issues, especially when the AC and WTP come from different vendors. To prevent interoperability issues, this specification defines an IEEE 802.11MAC Profile message element in which each profile specifies an unambiguous division of encryption functionality between the WTP andAC.
 
RFC 7495 Enumeration Reference Format for the Incident Object Description Exchange Format (IODEF)
 
Authors:A. Montville, D. Black.
Date:March 2015
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7495
The Incident Object Description Exchange Format (IODEF) is an XML data representation framework for sharing information about computer security incidents. In IODEF, the Reference class provides references to externally specified information such as a vulnerability, Intrusion Detection System (IDS) alert, malware sample, advisory, or attack technique. In practice, these references are based on external enumeration specifications that define both the enumeration format and the specific enumeration values, but the IODEFReference class (as specified in IODEF v1 in RFC 5070) does not indicate how to include both of these important pieces of information.

This document establishes a stand-alone data format to include both the external specification and specific enumeration identification value, and establishes an IANA registry to manage external enumeration specifications. While this document does not updateIODEF v1, this enumeration reference format is used in IODEF v2 and is applicable to other formats that support this class of enumeration references.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7504
This memo defines two Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) reply codes, 521 and 556. The 521 code was originally described in anExperimental RFC in 1995 and is in wide use, but has not previously been formally incorporated into SMTP. The 556 code was created to support the new tests and actions specified in RFC 7505. These codes are used to indicate that an Internet host does not accept incoming mail at all. This specification is not applicable when the host sometimes accepts mail but may reject particular messages, or even all messages, under specific circumstances.
 
RFC 7505 A "Null MX" No Service Resource Record for Domains That Accept No Mail
 
Authors:J. Levine, M. Delany.
Date:June 2015
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7505
Internet mail determines the address of a receiving server through the DNS, first by looking for an MX record and then by looking for anA/AAAA record as a fallback. Unfortunately, this means that theA/AAAA record is taken to be mail server address even when that address does not accept mail. The No Service MX RR, informally called "null MX", formalizes the existing mechanism by which a domain announces that it accepts no mail, without having to provide a mail server; this permits significant operational efficiencies.
 
RFC 7506 IPv6 Router Alert Option for MPLS Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM)
 
Authors:K. Raza, N. Akiya, C. Pignataro.
Date:April 2015
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 4379
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7506
RFC 4379 defines the MPLS Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping/Traceroute mechanism in which the Router Alert Option (RAO) MUST be set in theIP header of the MPLS Echo Request messages and may conditionally be set in the IP header of the MPLS Echo Reply messages depending on theReply Mode used. While a generic "Router shall examine packet"Option Value is used for the IPv4 RAO, there is no generic RAO value defined for IPv6 that can be used. This document allocates a new, generic IPv6 RAO value that can be used by MPLS Operations,Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) tools, including the MPLS EchoRequest and MPLS Echo Reply messages for MPLS in IPv6 environments.Consequently, it updates RFC 4379.

The initial motivation to request an IPv6 RAO value for MPLS OAM comes from the MPLS LSP Ping/Traceroute. However, this value is applicable to all MPLS OAM and not limited to MPLS LSP Ping/Traceroute.

Date:April 2015
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7510
This document specifies an IP-based encapsulation for MPLS, calledMPLS-in-UDP for situations where UDP (User Datagram Protocol) encapsulation is preferred to direct use of MPLS, e.g., to enableUDP-based ECMP (Equal-Cost Multipath) or link aggregation. The MPLS- in-UDP encapsulation technology must only be deployed within a single network (with a single network operator) or networks of an adjacent set of cooperating network operators where traffic is managed to avoid congestion, rather than over the Internet where congestion control is required. Usage restrictions apply to MPLS-in-UDP usage for traffic that is not congestion controlled and to UDP zero checksum usage with IPv6.

Updated by:RFC 8534
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7524
This document describes procedures for building inter-area point-to- multipoint (P2MP) segmented service label switched paths (LSPs) by partitioning such LSPs into intra-area segments and using BGP as the inter-area routing and Label Distribution Protocol (LDP). Within each IGP area, the intra-area segments are either carried over intra- area P2MP LSPs, using P2MP LSP hierarchy, or instantiated using ingress replication. The intra-area P2MP LSPs may be signaled usingP2MP RSVP-TE or P2MP multipoint LDP (mLDP). If ingress replication is used within an IGP area, then (multipoint-to-point) LDP LSPs or(point-to-point) RSVP-TE LSPs may be used in the IGP area. The applications/services that use such inter-area service LSPs may beBGP Multicast VPN, Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) multicast, or global table multicast over MPLS.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7527
IPv6 Loopback Suppression and Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) are discussed in Appendix A of RFC 4862. That specification mentions a hardware-assisted mechanism to detect looped back DAD messages. If hardware cannot suppress looped back DAD messages, a software solution is required. Several service provider communities have expressed a need for automated detection of looped back NeighborDiscovery (ND) messages used by DAD. This document includes mitigation techniques and outlines the Enhanced DAD algorithm to automate the detection of looped back IPv6 ND messages used by DAD.For network loopback tests, the Enhanced DAD algorithm allows IPv6 to self-heal after a loopback is placed and removed. Further, for certain access networks, this document automates resolving a specific duplicate address conflict. This document updates RFCs 4429, 4861, and 4862.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7545
Portions of the radio spectrum that are allocated to licensees are available for non-interfering use. This available spectrum is called"white space". Allowing secondary users access to available spectrum"unlocks" existing spectrum to maximize its utilization and to provide opportunities for innovation, resulting in greater overall spectrum utilization.

One approach to managing spectrum sharing uses databases to report spectrum availability to devices. To achieve interoperability among multiple devices and databases, a standardized protocol must be defined and implemented. This document defines such a protocol, the"Protocol to Access White-Space (PAWS) Databases".

 
RFC 7549 3GPP SIP URI Inter-Operator Traffic Leg Parameter
 
Authors:C. Holmberg, J. Holm, R. Jesske, M. Dolly.
Date:May 2015
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7549
In 3GPP networks, the signaling path between a calling user and a called user can be partitioned into segments, referred to as traffic legs. Each traffic leg may span networks belonging to different operators and will have its own characteristics that can be different from other traffic legs in the same call. A traffic leg might be associated with multiple SIP dialogs, e.g., in case a Back-to-BackUser Agent (B2BUA) that modifies the SIP dialog identifier is located within the traffic leg.

This document defines a new SIP URI parameter, 'iotl' (an abbreviation for Inter-Operator Traffic Leg). The parameter can be used in a SIP URI to indicate that the entity associated with the address, or an entity responsible for the host part of the address, represents the end of a specific traffic leg (or multiple traffic legs).

The SIP URI 'iotl' parameter defined in this document has known uses in 3GPP networks. Usage in other networks is also possible.

Application protocols using Unicode characters in protocol strings need to properly handle such strings in order to enforce internationalization rules for strings placed in various protocol slots (such as addresses and identifiers) and to perform valid comparison operations (e.g., for purposes of authentication or authorization). This document defines a framework enabling application protocols to perform the preparation, enforcement, and comparison of internationalized strings ("PRECIS") in a way that depends on the properties of Unicode characters and thus is agile with respect to versions of Unicode. As a result, this framework provides a more sustainable approach to the handling of internationalized strings than the previous framework, known asStringprep (RFC 3454). This document obsoletes RFC 3454.

RFC 7569 Registry Specification for Mandatory Access Control (MAC) Security Label Formats
 
Authors:D. Quigley, J. Lu, T. Haynes.
Date:July 2015
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7569
In the past, Mandatory Access Control (MAC) systems have used very rigid policies that were implemented in particular protocols and platforms. As MAC systems become more widely deployed, additional flexibility in mechanism and policy will be required. While traditional trusted systems implemented Multi-Level Security (MLS) and integrity models, modern systems have expanded to include such technologies as type enforcement. Due to the wide range of policies and mechanisms that need to be accommodated, it is unlikely that the use of a single security label format and model will be viable.

To allow multiple MAC mechanisms and label formats to co-exist in a network, this document creates a registry of label format specifications. This registry contains label format identifiers and provides for the association of each such identifier with a corresponding extensive document outlining the exact syntax and use of the particular label format.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7574
The Peer-to-Peer Streaming Peer Protocol (PPSPP) is a protocol for disseminating the same content to a group of interested parties in a streaming fashion. PPSPP supports streaming of both prerecorded (on- demand) and live audio/video content. It is based on the peer-to- peer paradigm, where clients consuming the content are put on equal footing with the servers initially providing the content, to create a system where everyone can potentially provide upload bandwidth. It has been designed to provide short time-till-playback for the end user and to prevent disruption of the streams by malicious peers.PPSPP has also been designed to be flexible and extensible. It can use different mechanisms to optimize peer uploading, prevent freeriding, and work with different peer discovery schemes(centralized trackers or Distributed Hash Tables). It supports multiple methods for content integrity protection and chunk addressing. Designed as a generic protocol that can run on top of various transport protocols, it currently runs on top of UDP usingLow Extra Delay Background Transport (LEDBAT) for congestion control.

A Wavelength Switched Optical Network (WSON) requires certain key information fields be made available to facilitate path computation and the establishment of Label Switched Paths (LSPs). The information model described in "Routing and Wavelength AssignmentInformation Model for Wavelength Switched Optical Networks" (RFC7446) shows what information is required at specific points in theWSON. Part of the WSON information model contains aspects that may be of general applicability to other technologies, while other parts are specific to WSONs.

This document provides efficient, protocol-agnostic encodings for theWSON-specific information fields. It is intended that protocol- specific documents will reference this memo to describe how information is carried for specific uses. Such encodings can be used to extend GMPLS signaling and routing protocols. In addition, these encodings could be used by other mechanisms to convey this same information to a Path Computation Element (PCE).

 
RFC 7582 Multicast Virtual Private Network (MVPN): Using Bidirectional P-Tunnels
 
Authors:E. Rosen, IJ. Wijnands, Y. Cai, A. Boers.

Updates:RFC 6513, RFC 6514, RFC 6625
Updated by:RFC 8534
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7582
A set of prior RFCs specify procedures for supporting multicast inBGP/MPLS IP VPNs. These procedures allow customer multicast data to travel across a service provider's backbone network through a set of multicast tunnels. The tunnels are advertised in certain BGP multicast auto-discovery routes, by means of a BGP attribute known as the "Provider Multicast Service Interface (PMSI) Tunnel" attribute. Encodings have been defined that allow the PMSI Tunnel attribute to identify bidirectional (multipoint-to-multipoint) multicast distribution trees. However, the prior RFCs do not provide all the necessary procedures for using bidirectional tunnels to support multicast VPNs. This document updates RFCs 6513, 6514, and6625 by specifying those procedures. In particular, it specifies the procedures for assigning customer multicast flows (unidirectional or bidirectional) to specific bidirectional tunnels in the provider backbone, for advertising such assignments, and for determining which flows have been assigned to which tunnels.
 
RFC 7584 Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) Message Handling for SIP Back-to-Back User Agents (B2BUAs)
 
Authors:R. Ravindranath, T. Reddy, G. Salgueiro.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7584
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Back-to-Back User Agents (B2BUAs) are often designed to be on the media path rather than just intercepting signaling. This means that B2BUAs often act on the media path leading to separate media legs that the B2BUA correlates and bridges together. When acting on the media path, B2BUAs are likely to receive Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) packets as part of Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) processing.

This document defines behavior for a B2BUA performing ICE processing.The goal of this document is to ensure that B2BUAs properly handleSIP messages that carry ICE semantics in Session Description Protocol(SDP) and STUN messages received as part of the ICE procedures forNAT and Firewall traversal of multimedia sessions.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7596
Dual-Stack Lite (DS-Lite) (RFC 6333) describes an architecture for transporting IPv4 packets over an IPv6 network. This document specifies an extension to DS-Lite called "Lightweight 4over6", which moves the Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) function from the centralized DS-Lite tunnel concentrator to the tunnel client located in the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). This removes the requirement for a Carrier Grade NAT function in the tunnel concentrator and reduces the amount of centralized state that must be held to a per-subscriber level. In order to delegate the NAPT function and make IPv4 address sharing possible, port-restricted IPv4 addresses are allocated to the CPEs.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7611
Under certain conditions, it is desirable for a Border GatewayProtocol (BGP) route reflector to be able to modify the Route Target(RT) list of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) route that the route reflector distributes, enabling the route reflector to control how a route originated within one VPN Routing and Forwarding table (VRF) is imported into other VRFs. This technique works effectively as long as the VRF that exports the route is not on the same Provider Edge(PE) router as the VRF(s) that imports the route. However, due to the constraints of BGP, it does not work if the two are on the samePE. This document describes a modification to BGP allowing this technique to work when the VRFs are on the same PE and to be used in a standard manner throughout an autonomous system.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7618
This memo describes the dynamic allocation of shared IPv4 addresses to clients using DHCPv4. Address sharing allows a single IPv4 address to be allocated to multiple active clients simultaneously, with each client being differentiated by a unique set of transport- layer source port numbers. The necessary changes to existing DHCPv4 client and server behavior are described, and a new DHCPv4 option for provisioning clients with shared IPv4 addresses is included.

Due to the nature of IP address sharing, some limitations to its applicability are necessary. This memo describes these limitations and recommends suitable architectures and technologies where address sharing may be utilized.

The combined solution is referred to as PBB-EVPN.
 
RFC 7627 Transport Layer Security (TLS) Session Hash and Extended Master Secret Extension
 
Authors:K. Bhargavan, Ed., A. Delignat-Lavaud, A. Pironti, A. Langley, M. Ray.
Date:September 2015
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 5246
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7627
The Transport Layer Security (TLS) master secret is not cryptographically bound to important session parameters such as the server certificate. Consequently, it is possible for an active attacker to set up two sessions, one with a client and another with a server, such that the master secrets on the two sessions are the same. Thereafter, any mechanism that relies on the master secret for authentication, including session resumption, becomes vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack, where the attacker can simply forward messages back and forth between the client and server. This specification defines a TLS extension that contextually binds the master secret to a log of the full handshake that computes it, thus preventing such attacks.
 
RFC 7628 A Set of Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) Mechanisms for OAuth
 
Authors:W. Mills, T. Showalter, H. Tschofenig.
Date:August 2015
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7628
OAuth enables a third-party application to obtain limited access to a protected resource, either on behalf of a resource owner by orchestrating an approval interaction or by allowing the third-party application to obtain access on its own behalf.

This document defines how an application client uses credentials obtained via OAuth over the Simple Authentication and Security Layer(SASL) to access a protected resource at a resource server. Thereby, it enables schemes defined within the OAuth framework for non-HTTP- based application protocols.

Clients typically store the user's long-term credential. This does, however, lead to significant security vulnerabilities, for example, when such a credential leaks. A significant benefit of OAuth for usage in those clients is that the password is replaced by a shared secret with higher entropy, i.e., the token. Tokens typically provide limited access rights and can be managed and revoked separately from the user's long-term password.

RFC 7633 X.509v3 Transport Layer Security (TLS) Feature Extension
 
Authors:P. Hallam-Baker.
Date:October 2015
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7633
The purpose of the TLS feature extension is to prevent downgrade attacks that are not otherwise prevented by the TLS protocol. In particular, the TLS feature extension may be used to mandate support for revocation checking features in the TLS protocol such as OnlineCertificate Status Protocol (OCSP) stapling. Informing clients that an OCSP status response will always be stapled permits an immediate failure in the case that the response is not stapled. This in turn prevents a denial-of-service attack that might otherwise be possible.

The CoAP Usage provides the functionality to federate Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) in a peer-to-peer fashion. The CoAP Usage for RELOAD allowsCoAP nodes to store resources in a RELOAD peer-to-peer overlay, provides a lookup service, and enables the use of RELOAD overlay as a cache for sensor data. This functionality is implemented in theRELOAD overlay itself, without the use of centralized servers. TheRELOAD AppAttach method is used to establish a direct connection between nodes through which CoAP messages are exchanged.
 
RFC 7652 Port Control Protocol (PCP) Authentication Mechanism
 
Authors:M. Cullen, S. Hartman, D. Zhang, T. Reddy.
Date:September 2015
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 6887
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7652
An IPv4 or IPv6 host can use the Port Control Protocol (PCP) to flexibly manage the IP address-mapping and port-mapping information on Network Address Translators (NATs) or firewalls to facilitate communication with remote hosts. However, the uncontrolled generation or deletion of IP address mappings on such network devices may cause security risks and should be avoided. In some cases, the client may need to prove that it is authorized to modify, create, or delete PCP mappings. This document describes an in-band authentication mechanism for PCP that can be used in those cases.The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is used to perform authentication between PCP devices.

This document updates RFC 6887.

 
RFC 7653 DHCPv6 Active Leasequery

Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 5460
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7653
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) has been extended with a Leasequery capability that allows a requestor to request information about DHCPv6 bindings. That mechanism is limited to queries for DHCPv6 binding data updates prior to the time theDHCPv6 server receives the Leasequery request. Continuous update of an external requestor with Leasequery data is sometimes desired.This document expands on the DHCPv6 Leasequery protocol and allows for active transfer of real-time DHCPv6 binding information data viaTCP. This document also updates DHCPv6 Bulk Leasequery (RFC 5460) by adding new options.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7660
This document defines optional Diameter attributes that can be used to help manage networks that use Explicit Congestion Notification(ECN) or Diameter traffic filters. These new attributes allow for improved data traffic identification, support of ECN, and minimalDiameter filter administration.

RFC 5777 defines a Filter-Rule Attribute Value Pair (AVP) that accommodates extensions for classification, conditions, and actions.It, however, does not support traffic identification for packets using Explicit Congestion Notification as defined in RFC 3168 and does not provide specific actions when the flow(s) described by theFilter-Rule are congested.

Further, a Filter-Rule can describe multiple flows but not the exact number of flows. Flow count and other associated data (e.g., packets) are not captured by accounting applications, leaving administrators without useful information regarding the effectiveness or appropriateness of the filter definition.

The optional attributes defined in this document are forward and backwards compatible with RFC 5777.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7673
The DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) specification(RFC 6698) describes how to use TLSA resource records secured byDNSSEC (RFC 4033) to associate a server's connection endpoint with its Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate (thus enabling administrators of domain names to specify the keys used in that domain's TLS servers). However, application protocols that use SRV records (RFC 2782) to indirectly name the target server connection endpoints for a service domain name cannot apply the rules from RFC6698. Therefore, this document provides guidelines that enable such protocols to locate and use TLSA records.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7688
This document provides Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching(GMPLS) Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing enhancements to support signal compatibility constraints associated with WavelengthSwitched Optical Network (WSON) elements. These routing enhancements are applicable in common optical or hybrid electro-optical networks where not all the optical signals in the network are compatible with all network elements participating in the network.

This compatibility constraint model is applicable to common optical or hybrid electro-optical systems such as optical-electronic-optical(OEO) switches, regenerators, and wavelength converters, since such systems can be limited to processing only certain types of WSON signals.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 7710
In many environments offering short-term or temporary Internet access(such as coffee shops), it is common to start new connections in a captive-portal mode. This highly restricts what the customer can do until the customer has authenticated.

This document describes a DHCP option (and a Router Advertisement(RA) extension) to inform clients that they are behind some sort of captive-portal device and that they will need to authenticate to getInternet access. It is not a full solution to address all of the issues that clients may have with captive portals; it is designed to be used in larger solutions. The method of authenticating to and interacting with the captive portal is out of scope for this document.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7711
Experience has shown that it is difficult to deploy proper PKIX certificates for Transport Layer Security (TLS) in multi-tenanted environments. As a result, domains hosted in such environments often deploy applications using certificates that identify the hosting service, not the hosted domain. Such deployments force end users and peer services to accept a certificate with an improper identifier, resulting in degraded security. This document defines methods that make it easier to deploy certificates for proper server identity checking in non-HTTP application protocols. Although these methods were developed for use in the Extensible Messaging and PresenceProtocol (XMPP) as a Domain Name Association (DNA) prooftype, they might also be usable in other non-HTTP application protocols.

This document describes procedures to support node protection forPoint-to-Multipoint and Multipoint-to-Multipoint Label Switched Paths(P2MP and MP2MP LSPs) that have been built by the Multipoint LabelDistribution Protocol (mLDP). In order to protect a node N, thePoint of Local Repair (PLR) Label Switching Router (LSR) of N must learn the Merge Point (MPT) LSR(s) of node N such that traffic can be redirected to them in case node N fails. Redirecting the traffic around the failed node N depends on existing Point-to-Point (P2P)Label Switched Paths (LSPs). The pre-established LSPs originate from the PLR LSR and terminate on the MPT LSRs while bypassing LSR N.

RFCs 6513, 6514, and others describe protocols and procedures that aService Provider (SP) may deploy in order to offer Multicast VirtualPrivate Network (Multicast VPN or MVPN) service to its customers.Some of these procedures use BGP to distribute VPN-specific multicast routing information across a backbone network. With a small number of relatively minor modifications, the same BGP procedures can also be used to distribute multicast routing information that is not specific to any VPN. Multicast that is outside the context of a VPN is known as "Global Table Multicast", or sometimes simply as"Internet multicast". In this document, we describe the modifications that are needed to use the BGP-MVPN procedures forGlobal Table Multicast.

Date:December 2015
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 6926
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7724
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv4 (DHCPv4) has been extended with a Leasequery capability that allows a requestor to request information about DHCPv4 bindings (RFC 4388). That mechanism is limited to queries for individual bindings. In some situations, individual binding queries may not be efficient, or even possible.In addition, continuous update of an external requestor withLeasequery data is sometimes desired. This document expands on theDHCPv4 Leasequery protocol, and allows for active transfer of near real-time DHCPv4 binding information data via TCP. This document updates RFC 6926, "DHCPv4 Bulk Leasequery".

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7729
Deployment experience has demonstrated the value of using theForwarding and Control Element Separation (ForCES) architecture to manage resources other than packet forwarding. In that spirit, theForwarding Element Manager (FEM) is modeled by creating a LogicalFunctional Block (LFB) to represent its functionality. We refer to this LFB as the Subsidiary Mechanism (SM) LFB. A Control Element(CE) that controls a Forwarding Element's (FE) resources can also manage its configuration via the SM LFB. This document introduces the SM LFB class, an LFB class that specifies the configuration parameters of an FE. The configuration parameters include new LFB class loading and CE associations; they also provide manipulation of debug mechanisms along with a general purpose attribute definition to describe configuration information.

RFC 7731 Multicast Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (MPL)
 
Authors:J. Hui, R. Kelsey.
Date:February 2016
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7731
This document specifies the Multicast Protocol for Low-Power andLossy Networks (MPL), which provides IPv6 multicast forwarding in constrained networks. MPL avoids the need to construct or maintain any multicast forwarding topology, disseminating messages to all MPLForwarders in an MPL Domain.

MPL has two modes of operation. One mode uses the Trickle algorithm to manage control-plane and data-plane message transmissions and is applicable for deployments with few multicast sources. The other mode uses classic flooding. By providing both modes and parameterization of the Trickle algorithm, an MPL implementation can be used in a variety of multicast deployments and can trade between dissemination latency and transmission efficiency.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7743
In some inter-AS (Autonomous System) and inter-area deployment scenarios for RFC 4379 ("Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping andTraceroute"), a replying Label Switching Router (LSR) may not have the available route to an initiator, and the Echo Reply message sent to the initiator would be discarded, resulting in false negatives or a complete failure of operation of the LSP Ping and Traceroute. This document describes extensions to the LSP Ping mechanism to enable the replying LSR to have the capability to relay the Echo Response by a set of routable intermediate nodes to the initiator. This document updates RFC 4379.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7746
When certain RSVP-TE optimizations are implemented, ingress LabelSwitching Router (LSRs) can receive RSVP RESV messages before forwarding state has been installed on all downstream nodes.According to the RSVP-TE specification, the ingress LSR can forward traffic through a Label Switched Path (LSP) as soon as it receives aRESV message. However, if the ingress LSR forwards traffic through the LSP before forwarding state has been installed on all downstream nodes, traffic can be lost.

This document describes LSP Self-ping. When an ingress LSR receives an RESV message, it can invoke LSP Self-ping procedures to ensure that forwarding state has been installed on all downstream nodes.

LSP Self-ping is a new protocol. It is not an extension of LSP Ping.Although LSP Ping and LSP Self-ping are named similarly, each is designed for a unique purpose. Each protocol listens on its own UDP port and executes its own procedures.

LSP Self-ping is an extremely lightweight mechanism. It does not consume control-plane resources on transit or egress LSRs.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 7752
In a number of environments, a component external to a network is called upon to perform computations based on the network topology and current state of the connections within the network, includingTraffic Engineering (TE) information. This is information typically distributed by IGP routing protocols within the network.

This document describes a mechanism by which link-state and TE information can be collected from networks and shared with external components using the BGP routing protocol. This is achieved using a new BGP Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) encoding format. The mechanism is applicable to physical and virtual IGP links. The mechanism described is subject to policy control.

Applications of this technique include Application-Layer TrafficOptimization (ALTO) servers and Path Computation Elements (PCEs).

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7770
It is useful for routers in an OSPFv2 or OSPFv3 routing domain to know the capabilities of their neighbors and other routers in the routing domain. This document proposes extensions to OSPFv2 andOSPFv3 for advertising optional router capabilities. The RouterInformation (RI) Link State Advertisement (LSA) is defined for this purpose. In OSPFv2, the RI LSA will be implemented with an OpaqueLSA type ID. In OSPFv3, the RI LSA will be implemented with a uniqueLSA type function code. In both protocols, the RI LSA can be advertised at any of the defined flooding scopes (link, area, or autonomous system (AS)). This document obsoletes RFC 4970 by providing a revised specification that includes support for advertisement of multiple instances of the RI LSA and a TLV for functional capabilities.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 7771
In MPLS and MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) environments, statically provisioned Single-Segment Pseudowires (SS-PWs) are protected against tunnel failure via MPLS-level and MPLS-TP-level tunnel protection.With statically provisioned Multi-Segment Pseudowires (MS-PWs), each segment of the MS-PW is likewise protected from tunnel failures viaMPLS-level and MPLS-TP-level tunnel protection. However, static MS-PWs are not protected end-to-end against failure of one of theSwitching Provider Edge Routers (S-PEs) along the path of the MS-PW.This document describes how to achieve this protection via redundantMS-PWs by updating the existing procedures in RFC 6870. It also contains an optional approach based on MPLS-TP Linear Protection.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 7781
The IETF TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) protocol provides support for flow-level multipathing for both unicast and multi-destination traffic in networks with arbitrary topology. Active-active access at the TRILL edge is the extension of these characteristics to end stations that are multiply connected to a TRILL campus as discussed in RFC 7379. In this document, the edgeRBridge (Routing Bridge, or TRILL switch) group providing active- active access to such an end station is represented as a virtualRBridge. Based on the concept of the virtual RBridge, along with its pseudo-nickname, this document specifies a method for TRILL active- active access by such end stations.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 7782
TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) active-active service provides end stations with flow-level load balance and resilience against link failures at the edge of TRILL campuses, as described in RFC 7379.

This document specifies a method by which member RBridges (also referred to as Routing Bridges or TRILL switches) in an active-active edge RBridge group use their own nicknames as ingress RBridge nicknames to encapsulate frames from attached end systems. Thus, remote edge RBridges (who are not in the group) will see one hostMedia Access Control (MAC) address being associated with the multipleRBridges in the group. Such remote edge RBridges are required to maintain all those associations (i.e., MAC attachments) and to not flip-flop among them (as would occur prior to the implementation of this specification). The design goals of this specification are discussed herein.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7783
TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) facilitates loop-free connectivity to non-TRILL networks via a choice of anAppointed Forwarder for a set of VLANs. Appointed Forwarders provideVLAN-based load sharing with an active-standby model. High- performance applications require an active-active load-sharing model.The active-active load-sharing model can be accomplished by representing any given non-TRILL network with a single virtualRBridge (also referred to as a virtual Routing Bridge or virtualTRILL switch). Virtual representation of the non-TRILL network with a single RBridge poses serious challenges in multi-destination RPF(Reverse Path Forwarding) check calculations. This document specifies required enhancements to build Coordinated Multicast Trees(CMT) within the TRILL campus to solve related RPF issues. CMT, which only requires a software upgrade, provides flexibility toRBridges in selecting a desired path of association to a given TRILL multi-destination distribution tree. This document updates RFC 6325.

RFC 7796 Ethernet-Tree (E-Tree) Support in Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS)
 
Authors:Y. Jiang, Ed., L. Yong, M. Paul.
Date:March 2016
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7796
This document specifies a generic Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) solution, which uses VLANs to indicate root or leaf traffic to support Ethernet-Tree (E-Tree) services. A VPLS Provider Edge (PE) model is illustrated as an example for the solution. In the solution, E-Tree VPLS PEs are interconnected by Pseudowires (PWs), which carry the VLAN indicating the E-Tree attribute. The MAC address-based Ethernet forwarding engine and the PW work in the same way as specified in RFC 4762 and RFC 4448, respectively. A signaling mechanism is described to support E-Tree capability and VLAN mapping negotiation.
 
RFC 7797 JSON Web Signature (JWS) Unencoded Payload Option
 
Authors:M. Jones.
Date:February 2016
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 7519
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7797
JSON Web Signature (JWS) represents the payload of a JWS as a base64url-encoded value and uses this value in the JWS Signature computation. While this enables arbitrary payloads to be integrity protected, some have described use cases in which the base64url encoding is unnecessary and/or an impediment to adoption, especially when the payload is large and/or detached. This specification defines a means of accommodating these use cases by defining an option to change the JWS Signing Input computation to not base64url- encode the payload. This option is intended to broaden the set of use cases for which the use of JWS is a good fit.

This specification updates RFC 7519 by stating that JSON Web Tokens(JWTs) MUST NOT use the unencoded payload option defined by this specification.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7798
This memo describes an RTP payload format for the video coding standard ITU-T Recommendation H.265 and ISO/IEC InternationalStandard 23008-2, both also known as High Efficiency Video Coding(HEVC) and developed by the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding(JCT-VC). The RTP payload format allows for packetization of one or more Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) units in each RTP packet payload as well as fragmentation of a NAL unit into multiple RTP packets.Furthermore, it supports transmission of an HEVC bitstream over a single stream as well as multiple RTP streams. When multiple RTP streams are used, a single transport or multiple transports may be utilized. The payload format has wide applicability in videoconferencing, Internet video streaming, and high-bitrate entertainment-quality video, among others.

This protocol is intended to control multiple data delivery sessions; provide a means for choosing delivery channels such as UDP, multicast UDP, and TCP; and provide a means for choosing delivery mechanisms based upon RTP (RFC 3550).

 
RFC 7828 The edns-tcp-keepalive EDNS0 Option
 
Authors:P. Wouters, J. Abley, S. Dickinson, R. Bellis.
Date:April 2016
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7828
DNS messages between clients and servers may be received over eitherUDP or TCP. UDP transport involves keeping less state on a busy server, but can cause truncation and retries over TCP. Additionally,UDP can be exploited for reflection attacks. Using TCP would reduce retransmits and amplification. However, clients commonly use TCP only for retries and servers typically use idle timeouts on the order of seconds.

This document defines an EDNS0 option ("edns-tcp-keepalive") that allows DNS servers to signal a variable idle timeout. This signalling encourages the use of long-lived TCP connections by allowing the state associated with TCP transport to be managed effectively with minimal impact on the DNS transaction time.

 
RFC 7829 SCTP-PF: A Quick Failover Algorithm for the Stream Control Transmission Protocol

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7829
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) supports multihoming.However, when the failover operation specified in RFC 4960 is followed, there can be significant delay and performance degradation in the data transfer path failover. This document specifies a quick failover algorithm and introduces the SCTP Potentially Failed(SCTP-PF) destination state in SCTP Path Management.

This document also specifies a dormant state operation of SCTP that is required to be followed by an SCTP-PF implementation, but it may equally well be applied by a standard SCTP implementation, as described in RFC 4960.

Additionally, this document introduces an alternative switchback operation mode called "Primary Path Switchover" that will be beneficial in certain situations. This mode of operation applies to both a standard SCTP implementation and an SCTP-PF implementation.

The procedures defined in the document require only minimal modifications to the specification in RFC 4960. The procedures are sender-side only and do not impact the SCTP receiver.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7833
This document describes the use of the Security Assertion MarkupLanguage (SAML) with RADIUS in the context of the ApplicationBridging for Federated Access Beyond web (ABFAB) architecture. It defines two RADIUS attributes, a SAML binding, a SAML name identifier format, two SAML profiles, and two SAML confirmation methods. TheRADIUS attributes permit encapsulation of SAML Assertions and protocol messages within RADIUS, allowing SAML entities to communicate using the binding. The two profiles describe the application of this binding for ABFAB authentication and assertionQuery/Request, enabling a Relying Party to request authentication of, or assertions for, users or machines (clients). These clients may be named using a Network Access Identifier (NAI) name identifier format.Finally, the subject confirmation methods allow requests and queries to be issued for a previously authenticated user or machine without needing to explicitly identify them as the subject. The use of the artifacts defined in this document is not exclusive to ABFAB. They can be applied in any Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting(AAA) scenario, such as network access control.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7852
When an emergency call is sent to a Public Safety Answering Point(PSAP), the originating device, the access network provider to which the device is connected, and all service providers in the path of the call have information about the call, the caller, or the location, which is helpful for the PSAP to have in handling the emergency.This document describes data structures and mechanisms to convey such data to the PSAP. The intent is that every emergency call carry as much of the information described here as possible using the mechanisms described here.

The mechanisms permit the data to be conveyed by reference (as an external resource) or by value (within the body of a SIP message or a location object). This follows the tradition of prior emergency services standardization work where data can be conveyed by value within the call signaling (i.e., in the body of the SIP message) or by reference.

Date:May 2016
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 5213
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7864
Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) allows a mobile node to connect to the same PMIPv6 domain through different interfaces. This document describes extensions to the PMIPv6 protocol that are required to support network-based flow mobility over multiple physical interfaces.

This document updates RFC 5213. The extensions described in this document consist of the operations performed by the local mobility anchor and the mobile access gateway to manage the prefixes assigned to the different interfaces of the mobile node, as well as how the forwarding policies are handled by the network to ensure consistent flow mobility management.

Session recording is a critical requirement in many communications environments, such as call centers and financial trading organizations. In some of these environments, all calls must be recorded for regulatory, compliance, and consumer protection reasons.The recording of a session is typically performed by sending a copy of a media stream to a recording device. This document describes the metadata model as viewed by the Session Recording Server (SRS) and the recording metadata format.
 
RFC 7866 Session Recording Protocol
 
Authors:L. Portman, H. Lum, Ed., C. Eckel, A. Johnston, A. Hutton.
Date:May 2016
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7866
This document specifies the use of the Session Initiation Protocol(SIP), the Session Description Protocol (SDP), and the Real-timeTransport Protocol (RTP) for delivering real-time media and metadata from a Communication Session (CS) to a recording device. The SessionRecording Protocol specifies the use of SIP, SDP, and RTP to establish a Recording Session (RS) between the Session RecordingClient (SRC), which is on the path of the CS, and a Session RecordingServer (SRS) at the recording device. This document considers only active recording, where the SRC purposefully streams media to an SRS and all participating user agents (UAs) are notified of the recording. Passive recording, where a recording device detects media directly from the network (e.g., using port-mirroring techniques), is outside the scope of this document. In addition, lawful intercept is outside the scope of this document.

Date:August 2016
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7878
The Session Peering Provisioning Framework (SPPF) specifies the data model and the overall structure to provision Session EstablishmentData (SED) into Session Data Registries and SIP Service Provider data stores. To utilize this framework, one needs a substrate protocol.Given that the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is currently widely used for messaging between elements of such provisioning systems, this document specifies the usage of SOAP (via HTTPS) as the substrate protocol for SPPF. The benefits include leveraging prevalent expertise and a higher probability that existing provisioning systems will be able to easily migrate to using an SPPF- based protocol.

RFC 7888 IMAP4 Non-synchronizing Literals
 
Authors:A. Melnikov, Ed..
Date:May 2016
Formats:txt json html
Obsoletes:RFC 2088
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7888
The Internet Message Access Protocol (RFC 3501) contains the"literal" syntactic construct for communicating strings. When sending a literal from client to server, IMAP requires the client to wait for the server to send a command continuation request between sending the octet count and the string data. This document specifies an alternate form of literal that does not require this network round trip.

This document specifies 2 IMAP extensions: LITERAL+ and LITERAL-.LITERAL+ allows the alternate form of literals in all IMAP commands.LITERAL- is the same as LITERAL+, but it disallows the alternate form of literals unless they are 4096 bytes or less.

This document obsoletes RFC 2088.

RFC 7896 Update to the Include Route Object (IRO) Specification in the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP)
 
Authors:D. Dhody.
Date:June 2016
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 5440
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7896
The Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) enables communications between a Path Computation Client (PCC) and a PCE, or between two PCEs. RFC 5440 defines the Include Route Object (IRO) to specify network elements to be traversed in the computed path. The specification does not specify if the IRO contains an ordered or unordered list of subobjects. During recent discussions, it was determined that there was a need to define a standard representation to ensure interoperability. It was also noted that there is a benefit in the handling of an attribute of the IRO's subobject, the L bit.

This document updates RFC 5440 regarding the IRO specification.

Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 6514
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7902
The BGP-based control procedures for Multicast Virtual PrivateNetworks (MVPNs) make use of a BGP attribute known as the"P-Multicast Service Interface (PMSI) Tunnel" attribute. The attribute contains a one-octet "Flags" field. The purpose of this document is to establish an IANA registry for the assignment of the bits in this field. Since the "Flags" field contains only eight bits, this document also defines a new BGP Extended Community,"Additional PMSI Tunnel Attribute Flags", that can be used to carry additional flags for the "P-Multicast Service Interface (PMSI)Tunnel" attribute. This document updates RFC 6514.

Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 2246, RFC 4346, RFC 4492, RFC 5246
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7919
Traditional finite-field-based Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange during the Transport Layer Security (TLS) handshake suffers from a number of security, interoperability, and efficiency shortcomings.These shortcomings arise from lack of clarity about which DH group parameters TLS servers should offer and clients should accept. This document offers a solution to these shortcomings for compatible peers by using a section of the TLS "Supported Groups Registry" (renamed from "EC Named Curve Registry" by this document) to establish common finite field DH parameters with known structure and a mechanism for peers to negotiate support for these groups.

This document updates TLS versions 1.0 (RFC 2246), 1.1 (RFC 4346), and 1.2 (RFC 5246), as well as the TLS Elliptic Curve Cryptography(ECC) extensions (RFC 4492).

Date:July 2016
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7924
Transport Layer Security (TLS) handshakes often include fairly static information, such as the server certificate and a list of trusted certification authorities (CAs). This information can be of considerable size, particularly if the server certificate is bundled with a complete certificate chain (i.e., the certificates of intermediate CAs up to the root CA).

This document defines an extension that allows a TLS client to inform a server of cached information, thereby enabling the server to omit already available information.

Source Description (SDES) items are normally transported in the RTPControl Protocol (RTCP). In some cases, it can be beneficial to speed up the delivery of these items. The main case is when a new synchronization source (SSRC) joins an RTP session and the receivers need this source's identity, relation to other sources, or its synchronization context, all of which may be fully or partially identified using SDES items. To enable this optimization, this document specifies a new RTP header extension that can carry SDES items.
 
RFC 7944 Diameter Routing Message Priority
 
Authors:S. Donovan.
Date:August 2016
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7944
When making routing and resource allocation decisions, Diameter nodes currently have no generic mechanism to determine the relative priority of Diameter messages. This document addresses this by defining a mechanism to allow Diameter endpoints to indicate the relative priority of Diameter transactions. With this information,Diameter nodes can factor that priority into routing, resource allocation, and overload abatement decisions.

This document also defines extensions to the Calendaring Extensions to WebDAV (CalDAV) calendar access protocol (RFC 4791) and the associated scheduling protocol (RFC 6638) to specify how this new calendar component can be used when evaluating free-busy time.

 
RFC 7956 Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) Distributed Layer 3 Gateway
 
Authors:W. Hao, Y. Li, A. Qu, M. Durrani, P. Sivamurugan.
Date:September 2016
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7956
The base TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) protocol provides optimal pair-wise data frame forwarding for Layer 2 intra-subnet traffic but not for Layer 3 inter-subnet traffic. A centralized gateway solution is typically used for Layer 3 inter- subnet traffic forwarding but has the following issues:

1. Sub-optimum forwarding paths for inter-subnet traffic.

2. A centralized gateway that may need to support a very large number of gateway interfaces in a Data Center, one per tenant per DataLabel used by that tenant, to provide interconnect functionality for all the Layer 2 Virtual Networks in a TRILL campus.

3. A traffic bottleneck at the gateway.

This document specifies an optional TRILL distributed gateway solution that resolves these centralized gateway issues.

 
RFC 7959 Block-Wise Transfers in the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP)
 
Authors:C. Bormann, Z. Shelby, Ed..
Date:August 2016
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 7252
Updated by:RFC 8323
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7959
The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is a RESTful transfer protocol for constrained nodes and networks. Basic CoAP messages work well for small payloads from sensors and actuators; however, applications will need to transfer larger payloads occasionally -- for instance, for firmware updates. In contrast to HTTP, where TCP does the grunt work of segmenting and resequencing, CoAP is based on datagram transports such as UDP or Datagram Transport Layer Security(DTLS). These transports only offer fragmentation, which is even more problematic in constrained nodes and networks, limiting the maximum size of resource representations that can practically be transferred.

Instead of relying on IP fragmentation, this specification extends basic CoAP with a pair of "Block" options for transferring multiple blocks of information from a resource representation in multiple request-response pairs. In many important cases, the Block options enable a server to be truly stateless: the server can handle each block transfer separately, with no need for a connection setup or other server-side memory of previous block transfers. Essentially, the Block options provide a minimal way to transfer larger representations in a block-wise fashion.

A CoAP implementation that does not support these options generally is limited in the size of the representations that can be exchanged, so there is an expectation that the Block options will be widely used in CoAP implementations. Therefore, this specification updatesRFC 7252.

 
RFC 7961 Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL): Interface Addresses APPsub-TLV
 
Authors:D. Eastlake 3rd, L. Yizhou.
Date:August 2016
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7961
This document specifies a TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) IS-IS application sub-TLV that enables the reporting by aTRILL switch of sets of addresses. Each set of addresses reports all of the addresses that designate the same interface (port) and also reports the TRILL switch by which that interface is reachable. For example, a 48-bit MAC (Media Access Control) address, IPv4 address, and IPv6 address can be reported as all corresponding to the same interface reachable by a particular TRILL switch. Such information could be used in some cases to synthesize responses to, or bypass the need for, the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), the IPv6 NeighborDiscovery (ND) protocol, or the flooding of unknown MAC addresses.

RFC 7968 Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL): Using Data Labels for Tree Selection for Multi-Destination Data
 
Authors:Y. Li, D. Eastlake 3rd, W. Hao, H. Chen, S. Chatterjee.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7968
TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) uses distribution trees to deliver multi-destination frames. Multiple trees can be used by an ingress Routing Bridge (RBridge) for flows, regardless of the VLAN, Fine-Grained Label (FGL), and/or multicast group of the flow. Different ingress RBridges may choose different distribution trees for TRILL Data packets in the same VLAN, FGL, and/or multicast group. To avoid unnecessary link utilization, distribution trees should be pruned based on one or more of the following: VLAN, FGL, or multicast destination address. If any VLAN,FGL, or multicast group can be sent on any tree, for typical fast- path hardware, the amount of pruning information is multiplied by the number of trees, but there is limited hardware capacity for such pruning information.

This document specifies an optional facility to restrict the TRILLData packets sent on particular distribution trees by VLAN, FGL, and/or multicast groups, thus reducing the total amount of pruning information so that it can more easily be accommodated by fast-path hardware.

RFC 7988 Ingress Replication Tunnels in Multicast VPN
 
Authors:E. Rosen, Ed., K. Subramanian, Z. Zhang.

Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 6513, RFC 6514
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 7988
RFCs 6513, 6514, and other RFCs describe procedures by which aService Provider may offer Multicast VPN (MVPN) service to its customers. These procedures create point-to-multipoint (P2MP) or multipoint-to-multipoint (MP2MP) trees across the Service Provider's backbone. One type of P2MP tree that may be used is known as an"Ingress Replication (IR) tunnel". In an IR tunnel, a parent node need not be directly connected to its child nodes. When a parent node has to send a multicast data packet to its n child nodes, it does not use Layer 2 multicast, IP multicast, or MPLS multicast to do so. Rather, it makes n individual copies, and then unicasts each copy, through an IP or MPLS unicast tunnel, to exactly one child node. While the prior MVPN specifications allow the use of IR tunnels, those specifications are not always very clear or explicit about how the MVPN protocol elements and procedures are applied to IR tunnels. This document updates RFCs 6513 and 6514 by adding additional details that are specific to the use of IR tunnels.

Updates:RFC 6790
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8012
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Path (LSP) ping and traceroute are methods used to test Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP) paths. Ping is known as a connectivity-verification method and traceroute is known as a fault-isolation method, as described in RFC4379. When an LSP is signaled using the Entropy Label (EL) described in RFC 6790, the ability for LSP ping and traceroute operations to discover and exercise ECMP paths is lost for scenarios where LabelSwitching Routers (LSRs) apply different load-balancing techniques.One such scenario is when some LSRs apply EL-based load balancing while other LSRs apply load balancing that is not EL based (e.g.,IP). Another scenario is when an EL-based LSP is stitched with another LSP that can be EL based or not EL based.

This document extends the MPLS LSP ping and traceroute multipath mechanisms in RFC 6424 to allow the ability of exercising LSPs that make use of the EL. This document updates RFC 6790.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8016
It is desirable to minimize traffic disruption caused by changing IP address during a mobility event. One mechanism to minimize disruption is to expose a shorter network path to the mobility event so that only the local network elements are aware of the changed IP address and the remote peer is unaware of the changed IP address.

This document provides such an IP address mobility solution usingTraversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN). This is achieved by allowing a client to retain an allocation on the TURN server when theIP address of the client changes.

RFC 8022 A YANG Data Model for Routing Management
 
Authors:L. Lhotka, A. Lindem.
Date:November 2016
Formats:txt json html
Obsoleted by:RFC 8349
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8022
This document contains a specification of three YANG modules and one submodule. Together they form the core routing data model that serves as a framework for configuring and managing a routing subsystem. It is expected that these modules will be augmented by additional YANG modules defining data models for control-plane protocols, route filters, and other functions. The core routing data model provides common building blocks for such extensions -- routes,Routing Information Bases (RIBs), and control-plane protocols.
 
RFC 8024 Multi-Chassis Passive Optical Network (MC-PON) Protection in MPLS
 
Authors:Y. Jiang, Ed., Y. Luo, E. Mallette, Ed., Y. Shen, W. Cheng.
Date:November 2016
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8024
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is being extended to the edge of operator networks including the network access nodes. Separately, network access nodes such as Passive Optical Network (PON) OpticalLine Terminations (OLTs) have evolved to support first-mile access protection, where one or more physical OLTs provide first-mile diversity to the customer edge. Multihoming support is needed on theMPLS-enabled PON OLT to provide resiliency for provided services.This document describes the Multi-Chassis PON (MC-PON) protection architecture in MPLS and also specifies the Inter-ChassisCommunication Protocol (ICCP) extension to support it.

RFC 8026 Unified IPv4-in-IPv6 Softwire Customer Premises Equipment (CPE): A DHCPv6-Based Prioritization Mechanism
 
Authors:M. Boucadair, I. Farrer.
Date:November 2016
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8026
In IPv6-only provider networks, transporting IPv4 packets encapsulated in IPv6 is a common solution to the problem of IPv4 service continuity. A number of differing functional approaches have been developed for this, each having their own specific characteristics. As these approaches share a similar functional architecture and use the same data plane mechanisms, this memo specifies a DHCPv6 option, whereby a single instance of CustomerPremises Equipment (CPE) can interwork with all of the standardized and proposed approaches to providing encapsulated IPv4-in-IPv6 services by providing a prioritization mechanism.
 
RFC 8028 First-Hop Router Selection by Hosts in a Multi-Prefix Network
 
Authors:F. Baker, B. Carpenter.
Date:November 2016
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 4861
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8028
This document describes expected IPv6 host behavior in a scenario that has more than one prefix, each allocated by an upstream network that is assumed to implement BCP 38 ingress filtering, when the host has multiple routers to choose from. It also applies to other scenarios such as the usage of stateful firewalls that effectively act as address-based filters. Host behavior in choosing a first-hop router may interact with source address selection in a given implementation. However, the selection of the source address for a packet is done before the first-hop router for that packet is chosen.Given that the network or host is, or appears to be, multihomed with multiple provider-allocated addresses, that the host has elected to use a source address in a given prefix, and that some but not all neighboring routers are advertising that prefix in their RouterAdvertisement Prefix Information Options, this document specifies to which router a host should present its transmission. It updates RFC4861.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8044
RADIUS specifications have used data types for two decades without defining them as managed entities. During this time, RADIUS implementations have named the data types and have used them in attribute definitions. This document updates the specifications to better follow established practice. We do this by naming the data types defined in RFC 6158, which have been used since at least the publication of RFC 2865. We provide an IANA registry for the data types and update the "RADIUS Attribute Types" registry to include aData Type field for each attribute. Finally, we recommend that authors of RADIUS specifications use these types in preference to existing practice. This document updates RFCs 2865, 3162, 4072,6158, 6572, and 7268.

A newUSER-CHAIN-ACL access policy allows authorized peers to write aShared Resource without owning its corresponding certificate. This specification also adds mechanisms to store Resources with a variable name that is useful whenever peer-independent rendezvous processes are required.
 
RFC 8078 Managing DS Records from the Parent via CDS/CDNSKEY
 
Authors:O. Gudmundsson, P. Wouters.
Date:March 2017
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 7344
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8078
RFC 7344 specifies how DNS trust can be maintained across key rollovers in-band between parent and child. This document elevatesRFC 7344 from Informational to Standards Track. It also adds a method for initial trust setup and removal of a secure entry point.

Changing a domain's DNSSEC status can be a complicated matter involving multiple unrelated parties. Some of these parties, such as the DNS operator, might not even be known by all the organizations involved. The inability to disable DNSSEC via in-band signaling is seen as a problem or liability that prevents some DNSSEC adoption at a large scale. This document adds a method for in-band signaling of these DNSSEC status changes.

This document describes reasonable policies to ease deployment of the initial acceptance of new secure entry points (DS records).

It is preferable that operators collaborate on the transfer or move of a domain. The best method is to perform a Key Signing Key (KSK) plus Zone Signing Key (ZSK) rollover. If that is not possible, the method using an unsigned intermediate state described in this document can be used to move the domain between two parties. This leaves the domain temporarily unsigned and vulnerable to DNS spoofing, but that is preferred over the alternative of validation failures due to a mismatched DS and DNSKEY record.

 
RFC 8079 Guidelines for End-to-End Support of the RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) in Back-to-Back User Agents (B2BUAs)
 
Authors:L. Miniero, S. Garcia Murillo, V. Pascual.
Date:February 2017
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8079
SIP Back-to-Back User Agents (B2BUAs) are often designed to also be on the media path, rather than just to intercept signalling. This means that B2BUAs often implement an RTP or RTP Control Protocol(RTCP) stack as well, thus leading to separate multimedia sessions that the B2BUA correlates and bridges together. If not disciplined, this behaviour can severely impact the communication experience, especially when statistics and feedback information contained in RTCP messages get lost because of mismatches in the reported data.

This document defines the proper behaviour B2BUAs should follow when acting on both the signalling plane and media plane in order to preserve the end-to-end functionality of RTCP.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8082
This document updates RFC 5104 by fixing a shortcoming in the specification language of the Codec Control Message Full IntraRequest (FIR) description when using it with layered codecs. In particular, a decoder refresh point needs to be sent by a media sender when a FIR is received on any layer of the layered bitstream, regardless of whether those layers are being sent in a single or in multiple RTP flows.

Authors:C. Perkins, V. Singh.
Date:March 2017
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 3550
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8083
The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is widely used in telephony, video conferencing, and telepresence applications. Such applications are often run on best-effort UDP/IP networks. If congestion control is not implemented in these applications, then network congestion can lead to uncontrolled packet loss and a resulting deterioration of the user's multimedia experience. The congestion control algorithm acts as a safety measure by stopping RTP flows from using excessive resources and protecting the network from overload. At the time of this writing, however, while there are several proprietary solutions, there is no standard algorithm for congestion control of interactiveRTP flows.

This document does not propose a congestion control algorithm. It instead defines a minimal set of RTP circuit breakers: conditions under which an RTP sender needs to stop transmitting media data to protect the network from excessive congestion. It is expected that, in the absence of long-lived excessive congestion, RTP applications running on best-effort IP networks will be able to operate without triggering these circuit breakers. To avoid triggering the RTP circuit breaker, any Standards Track congestion control algorithms defined for RTP will need to operate within the envelope set by theseRTP circuit breaker algorithms.

 
RFC 8086 GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation
 
Authors:L. Yong, Ed., E. Crabbe, X. Xu, T. Herbert.
Date:March 2017
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8086
This document specifies a method of encapsulating network protocol packets within GRE and UDP headers. This GRE-in-UDP encapsulation allows the UDP source port field to be used as an entropy field.This may be used for load-balancing of GRE traffic in transit networks using existing Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP) mechanisms.There are two applicability scenarios for GRE-in-UDP with different requirements: (1) general Internet and (2) a traffic-managed controlled environment. The controlled environment has less restrictive requirements than the general Internet.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8102
The loop-free alternates (LFAs) computed following the current remote-LFA specification guarantees only link protection. The resulting remote-LFA next hops (also called "PQ-nodes") may not guarantee node protection for all destinations being protected by it.

This document describes an extension to the remote-loop-free-based IP fast reroute mechanisms that specifies procedures for determining whether or not a given PQ-node provides node protection for a specific destination. The document also shows how the same procedure can be utilized for the collection of complete characteristics for alternate paths. Knowledge about the characteristics of all alternate paths is a precursor to applying the operator-defined policy for eliminating paths not fitting the constraints.

Authors:Y. Shen, R. Aggarwal, W. Henderickx, Y. Jiang.
Date:March 2017
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8104
This document specifies a fast mechanism for protecting pseudowires(PWs) transported by IP/MPLS tunnels against egress endpoint failures, including egress attachment circuit (AC) failure, egress provider edge (PE) failure, multi-segment PW terminating PE failure, and multi-segment PW switching PE failure. Operating on the basis of multihomed customer edge (CE), redundant PWs, upstream label assignment, and context-specific label switching, the mechanism enables local repair to be performed by the router upstream adjacent to a failure. The router can restore a PW in the order of tens of milliseconds, by rerouting traffic around the failure to a protector through a pre-established bypass tunnel. Therefore, the mechanism can be used to reduce traffic loss before global repair reacts to the failure and the network converges on the topology changes due to the failure.
 
RFC 8105 Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) Ultra Low Energy (ULE)

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8105
Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) Ultra Low Energy(ULE) is a low-power air interface technology that is proposed by theDECT Forum and is defined and specified by ETSI.

The DECT air interface technology has been used worldwide in communication devices for more than 20 years. It has primarily been used to carry voice for cordless telephony but has also been deployed for data-centric services.

DECT ULE is a recent addition to the DECT interface primarily intended for low-bandwidth, low-power applications such as sensor devices, smart meters, home automation, etc. As the DECT ULE interface inherits many of the capabilities from DECT, it benefits from operation that is long-range and interference-free, worldwide- reserved frequency band, low silicon prices, and maturity. There is an added value in the ability to communicate with IPv6 over DECT ULE, such as for Internet of Things applications.

This document describes how IPv6 is transported over DECT ULE usingIPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) techniques.

This document describes how to use IP-based emergency services mechanisms to support the next generation of the Pan-European in- vehicle emergency call service defined under the eSafety initiative of the European Commission (generally referred to as "eCall"). eCall is a standardized and mandated system for a special form of emergency calls placed by vehicles, providing real-time communications and an integrated set of related data.

This document also registers MIME media types and an Emergency CallData Type for the eCall vehicle data and metadata/control data, and an INFO package to enable carrying this data in SIP INFO requests.

Although this specification is designed to meet the requirements of next-generation Pan-European eCall (NG-eCall), it is specified generically such that the technology can be reused or extended to suit requirements across jurisdictions.

 
RFC 8148 Next-Generation Vehicle-Initiated Emergency Calls
 
Authors:R. Gellens, B. Rosen, H. Tschofenig.
Date:May 2017
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8148
This document describes how to use IP-based emergency services mechanisms to support the next generation of emergency calls placed by vehicles (automatically in the event of a crash or serious incident, or manually invoked by a vehicle occupant) and conveying vehicle, sensor, and location data related to the crash or incident.Such calls are often referred to as "Automatic Crash Notification"(ACN), or "Advanced Automatic Crash Notification" (AACN), even in the case of manual trigger. The "Advanced" qualifier refers to the ability to carry a richer set of data.

This document also registers a MIME media type and Emergency CallData Type for the vehicle, sensor, and location data (often referred to as "crash data" even though there is not necessarily a crash) and an INFO package to enable carrying this and related data in SIP INFO requests. An external specification for the data format, contents, and structure is referenced in this document.

This document reuses the technical aspects of next-generation Pan-European eCall (a mandated and standardized system for emergency calls by in-vehicle systems (IVSs) within Europe and other regions).However, this document specifies use of a different set of vehicle(crash) data, specifically, the Vehicle Emergency Data Set (VEDS) rather than the eCall Minimum Set of Data (MSD). This document is an extension of the IETF eCall document, with the primary differences being that this document makes the MSD data set optional and VEDS mandatory, and it adds attribute values to the metadata/control object to permit greater functionality. This document registers a new INFO package (identical to that registered for eCall but with the addition of the VEDS MIME type). This document also describes legacy(circuit-switched) ACN systems and their migration to next-generation emergency calling, to provide background information and context.

 
RFC 8149 RSVP Extensions for Reoptimization of Loosely Routed Point-to-Multipoint Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths (LSPs)

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8149
The reoptimization of a Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) TrafficEngineering (TE) Label Switched Path (LSP) may be triggered based on the need to reoptimize an individual source-to-leaf (S2L) sub-LSP or a set of S2L sub-LSPs, both using the Sub-Group-based reoptimization method, or the entire P2MP-TE LSP tree using the Make-Before-Break(MBB) method. This document discusses the application of the existing mechanisms for path reoptimization of loosely routed Point- to-Point (P2P) TE LSPs to the P2MP-TE LSPs, identifies issues in doing so, and defines procedures to address them. When reoptimizing a large number of S2L sub-LSPs in a tree using the Sub-Group-based reoptimization method, the S2L sub-LSP descriptor list may need to be semantically fragmented. This document defines the notion of a fragment identifier to help recipient nodes unambiguously reconstruct the fragmented S2L sub-LSP descriptor list.

Updates:RFC 5766
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8155
Current Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN) server discovery mechanisms are relatively static and limited to explicit configuration. These are usually under the administrative control of the application or TURN service provider, and not the enterprise,ISP, or the network in which the client is located. Enterprises andISPs wishing to provide their own TURN servers need auto-discovery mechanisms that a TURN client could use with minimal or no configuration. This document describes three such mechanisms forTURN server discovery.

This document updates RFC 5766 to relax the requirement for mutual authentication in certain cases.

RFC 8158 IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) Information Elements for Logging NAT Events
 
Authors:S. Sivakumar, R. Penno.
Date:December 2017
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8158
Network operators require NAT devices to log events like creation and deletion of translations and information about the resources that theNAT device is managing. In many cases, the logs are essential to identify an attacker or a host that was used to launch malicious attacks and for various other purposes of accounting. Since there is no standard way of logging this information, different NAT devices use proprietary formats; hence, it is difficult to expect consistent behavior. This lack of standardization makes it difficult to write the Collector applications that would receive this data and process it to present useful information. This document describes the formats for logging NAT events.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8175
When routing devices rely on modems to effect communications over wireless links, they need timely and accurate knowledge of the characteristics of the link (speed, state, etc.) in order to make routing decisions. In mobile or other environments where these characteristics change frequently, manual configurations or the inference of state through routing or transport protocols does not allow the router to make the best decisions. This document introduces a new protocol called the Dynamic Link Exchange Protocol(DLEP), which provides a bidirectional, event-driven communication channel between the router and the modem to facilitate communication of changing link characteristics.

RFC 8177 YANG Data Model for Key Chains
 
Authors:A. Lindem, Ed., Y. Qu, D. Yeung, I. Chen, J. Zhang.
Date:June 2017
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8177
This document describes the key chain YANG data model. Key chains are commonly used for routing protocol authentication and other applications requiring symmetric keys. A key chain is a list containing one or more elements containing a Key ID, key string, send/accept lifetimes, and the associated authentication or encryption algorithm. By properly overlapping the send and accept lifetimes of multiple key chain elements, key strings and algorithms may be gracefully updated. By representing them in a YANG data model, key distribution can be automated.

In the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI), CertificateAuthorities (CAs) publish certificates, including end-entity certificates, Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs), and RPKI signed objects to repositories. Relying Parties retrieve the published information from those repositories. This document specifies a newRPKI Repository Delta Protocol (RRDP) for this purpose. RRDP was specifically designed for scaling. It relies on an UpdateNotification File which lists the current Snapshot and Delta Files that can be retrieved using HTTPS (HTTP over Transport Layer Security(TLS)), and it enables the use of Content Distribution Networks(CDNs) or other caching infrastructures for the retrieval of these files.
 
RFC 8183 An Out-of-Band Setup Protocol for Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) Production Services
 
Authors:R. Austein.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8183
This note describes a simple out-of-band protocol to ease setup of the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) provisioning and publication protocols between two parties. The protocol is encoded in a small number of XML messages, which can be passed back and forth by any mutually agreeable means which provides acceptable data integrity and authentication.

This setup protocol is not part of the provisioning or publication protocol; rather, it is intended to simplify configuration of these protocols by setting up relationships and exchanging keying material used to authenticate those relationships.

 
RFC 8185 Dual-Homing Coordination for MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Pseudowires Protection

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8185
In some scenarios, MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) pseudowires (PWs)(RFC 5921) may be statically configured when a dynamic control plane is not available. A fast protection mechanism for MPLS-TP PWs is needed to protect against the failure of an Attachment Circuit (AC), the failure of a Provider Edge (PE), or a failure in the PacketSwitched Network (PSN). The framework and typical scenarios of dual- homing PW local protection are described in RFC 8184. This document proposes a dual-homing coordination mechanism for MPLS-TP PWs that is used for state exchange and switchover coordination between the dual- homing PEs for dual-homing PW local protection.

In addition, it extends the constraints to further filter those maps by allowing an ALTO Client to specify a logical combination of tests on several cost metrics.

 
RFC 8191 Home Network Prefix Renumbering in Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6)
 
Authors:Z. Yan, J. Lee, X. Lee.
Date:August 2017
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8191
In the basic Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) specification, a Mobile Node(MN) is assigned with a Home Network Prefix (HNP) during its initial attachment, and the MN configures its Home Address (HoA) with theHNP. During the movement of the MN, the HNP remains unchanged to keep ongoing communications associated with the HoA. However, the current PMIPv6 specification does not specify related operations whenHNP renumbering has occurred (e.g., due to change of service provider or site topology, etc.). In this document, a solution to support HNP renumbering is proposed, as an optional extension of the PMIPv6 specification.

Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 4035
Updated by:RFC 9077
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8198
The DNS relies upon caching to scale; however, the cache lookup generally requires an exact match. This document specifies the use of NSEC/NSEC3 resource records to allow DNSSEC-validating resolvers to generate negative answers within a range and positive answers from wildcards. This increases performance, decreases latency, decreases resource utilization on both authoritative and recursive servers, and increases privacy. Also, it may help increase resilience to certainDoS attacks in some circumstances.

This document updates RFC 4035 by allowing validating resolvers to generate negative answers based upon NSEC/NSEC3 records and positive answers in the presence of wildcards.

Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 6487
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8209
This document defines a standard profile for X.509 certificates used to enable validation of Autonomous System (AS) paths in the BorderGateway Protocol (BGP), as part of an extension to that protocol known as BGPsec. BGP is the standard for inter-domain routing in theInternet; it is the "glue" that holds the Internet together. BGPsec is being developed as one component of a solution that addresses the requirement to provide security for BGP. The goal of BGPsec is to provide full AS path validation based on the use of strong cryptographic primitives. The end entity (EE) certificates specified by this profile are issued to routers within an AS. Each of these certificates is issued under a Resource Public Key Infrastructure(RPKI) Certification Authority (CA) certificate. These CA certificates and EE certificates both contain the AS Resource extension. An EE certificate of this type asserts that the router or routers holding the corresponding private key are authorized to emit secure route advertisements on behalf of the AS(es) specified in the certificate. This document also profiles the format of certification requests and specifies Relying Party (RP) certificate path validation procedures for these EE certificates. This document extends theRPKI; therefore, this document updates the RPKI Resource CertificatesProfile (RFC 6487).

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8213
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv4 (DHCPv4) has no guidance for how to secure messages exchanged between servers and relay agents. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6(DHCPv6) states that IPsec should be used to secure messages exchanged between servers and relay agents but does not require encryption. With recent concerns about pervasive monitoring and other attacks, it is appropriate to require securing relay-to-relay and relay-to-server communication for DHCPv6 and relay-to-server communication for DHCPv4.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8217
RFC 3261 constrained several SIP header fields whose grammar contains the "name-addr / addr-spec" alternative to use name-addr when certain characters appear. Unfortunately, it expressed the constraints with prose copied into each header field definition, and at least one header field was missed. Further, the constraint has not been copied into documents defining extension headers whose grammar contains the alternative.

This document updates RFC 3261 to state the constraint generically and clarifies that the constraint applies to all SIP header fields where there is a choice between using name-addr or addr-spec. It also updates the RFCs that define extension SIP header fields using the alternative to clarify that the constraint applies (RFCs 3325,3515, 3892, 4508, 5002, 5318, 5360, and 5502).

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8223
Recent Targeted Label Distribution Protocol (tLDP) applications, such as remote Loop-Free Alternates (LFAs) and BGP auto-discovered pseudowires, may automatically establish a tLDP session with anyLabel Switching Router (LSR) in a network. The initiating LSR has information about the targeted applications to administratively control initiation of the session. However, the responding LSR has no such information to control acceptance of this session. This document defines a mechanism to advertise and negotiate the TargetedApplication Capability (TAC) during LDP session initialization. As the responding LSR becomes aware of targeted applications, it may establish a limited number of tLDP sessions for certain applications.In addition, each targeted application is mapped to LDP ForwardingEquivalence Class (FEC) elements to advertise only necessary LDP FEC label bindings over the session. This document updates RFC 7473 for enabling advertisement of LDP FEC label bindings over the session.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8225
This document defines a method for creating and validating a token that cryptographically verifies an originating identity or, more generally, a URI or telephone number representing the originator of personal communications. The Personal Assertion Token, PASSporT, is cryptographically signed to protect the integrity of the identity of the originator and to verify the assertion of the identity information at the destination. The cryptographic signature is defined with the intention that it can confidently verify the originating persona even when the signature is sent to the destination party over an insecure channel. PASSporT is particularly useful for many personal-communications applications over IP networks and other multi-hop interconnection scenarios where the originating and destination parties may not have a direct trusted relationship.

RFC 8231 Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) Extensions for Stateful PCE
 
Authors:E. Crabbe, I. Minei, J. Medved, R. Varga.
Date:September 2017
Formats:txt html json
Updated by:RFC 8786, RFC 9353
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8231
The Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) provides mechanisms for Path Computation Elements (PCEs) to perform path computations in response to Path Computation Client (PCC) requests.

Although PCEP explicitly makes no assumptions regarding the information available to the PCE, it also makes no provisions for PCE control of timing and sequence of path computations within and acrossPCEP sessions. This document describes a set of extensions to PCEP to enable stateful control of MPLS-TE and GMPLS Label Switched Paths(LSPs) via PCEP.

 
RFC 8232 Optimizations of Label Switched Path State Synchronization Procedures for a Stateful PCE
 
Authors:E. Crabbe, I. Minei, J. Medved, R. Varga, X. Zhang, D. Dhody.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8232
A stateful Path Computation Element (PCE) has access to not only the information disseminated by the network's Interior Gateway Protocol(IGP) but also the set of active paths and their reserved resources for its computation. The additional Label Switched Path (LSP) state information allows the PCE to compute constrained paths while considering individual LSPs and their interactions. This requires aState Synchronization mechanism between the PCE and the network, thePCE and Path Computation Clients (PCCs), and cooperating PCEs. The basic mechanism for State Synchronization is part of the stateful PCE specification. This document presents motivations for optimizations to the base State Synchronization procedure and specifies the required Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) extensions.
 
RFC 8233 Extensions to the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) to Compute Service-Aware Label Switched Paths (LSPs)

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8233
In certain networks, such as, but not limited to, financial information networks (e.g., stock market data providers), network performance criteria (e.g., latency) are becoming as critical to data path selection as other metrics and constraints. These metrics are associated with the Service Level Agreement (SLA) between customers and service providers. The link bandwidth utilization (the total bandwidth of a link in actual use for the forwarding) is another important factor to consider during path computation.

IGP Traffic Engineering (TE) Metric Extensions describe mechanisms with which network performance information is distributed via OSPF and IS-IS, respectively. The Path Computation Element CommunicationProtocol (PCEP) provides mechanisms for Path Computation Elements(PCEs) to perform path computations in response to Path ComputationClient (PCC) requests. This document describes the extension to PCEP to carry latency, delay variation, packet loss, and link bandwidth utilization as constraints for end-to-end path computation.

RFC 8237 MPLS Label Switched Path (LSP) Pseudowire (PW) Status Refresh Reduction for Static PWs
 
Authors:L. Martini, G. Swallow, E. Bellagamba.
Date:October 2017
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8237
This document describes a method for generating an aggregated pseudowire (PW) status message transmitted for a statically configured PW on a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) LabelSwitched Path (LSP) to indicate the status of one or more PWs carried on the LSP.

The method for transmitting the PW status information is not new; however, this protocol extension allows a Service Provider (SP) to reliably monitor the individual PW status while not overwhelming the network with multiple periodic status messages. This is achieved by sending a single cumulative summary status verification message for all the PWs grouped in the same LSP.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8245
RFC 5444 specifies a generalized Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) packet/message format and describes an intended use for multiplexedMANET routing protocol messages; this use is mandated by RFC 5498 when using the MANET port or protocol number that it specifies. This document updates RFC 5444 by providing rules and recommendations for how the multiplexer operates and how protocols can use the packet/message format. In particular, the mandatory rules prohibit a number of uses that have been suggested in various proposals and that would have led to interoperability problems, to the impediment of protocol extension development, and/or to an inability to use optional generic parsers.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8260
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a message-oriented transport protocol supporting arbitrarily large user messages. This document adds a new chunk to SCTP for carrying payload data. This allows a sender to interleave different user messages that would otherwise result in head-of-line blocking at the sender. The interleaving of user messages is required for WebRTC data channels.

Whenever an SCTP sender is allowed to send user data, it may choose from multiple outgoing SCTP streams. Multiple ways for performing this selection, called stream schedulers, are defined in this document. A stream scheduler can choose to either implement, or not implement, user message interleaving.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 8261
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a transport protocol originally defined to run on top of the network protocolsIPv4 or IPv6. This document specifies how SCTP can be used on top of the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol. Using the encapsulation method described in this document, SCTP is unaware of the protocols being used below DTLS; hence, explicit IP addresses cannot be used in the SCTP control chunks. As a consequence, theSCTP associations carried over DTLS can only be single-homed.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 8264
Application protocols using Unicode code points in protocol strings need to properly handle such strings in order to enforce internationalization rules for strings placed in various protocol slots (such as addresses and identifiers) and to perform valid comparison operations (e.g., for purposes of authentication or authorization). This document defines a framework enabling application protocols to perform the preparation, enforcement, and comparison of internationalized strings ("PRECIS") in a way that depends on the properties of Unicode code points and thus is more agile with respect to versions of Unicode. As a result, this framework provides a more sustainable approach to the handling of internationalized strings than the previous framework, known asStringprep (RFC 3454). This document obsoletes RFC 7564.

In addition, these updates enable the redirection of bidirectional traffic onto bypass tunnels that ensure the co-routing of data paths in the forward and reverse directions after FRR and avoid RSVP soft-state timeout in the control plane.
 
RFC 8275 Allowing Inheritable NFSv4 Access Control Entries to Override the Umask
 
Authors:J. Fields, A. Gruenbacher.
Date:December 2017
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8275
In many environments, inheritable NFSv4 Access Control Entries (ACEs) can be rendered ineffective by the application of the per-process file mode creation mask (umask). This can be addressed by transmitting the umask and create mode as separate pieces of data, allowing the server to make more intelligent decisions about the permissions to set on new files. This document proposes a protocol extension to accomplish that.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8279
This document specifies a new architecture for the forwarding of multicast data packets. It provides optimal forwarding of multicast packets through a "multicast domain". However, it does not require a protocol for explicitly building multicast distribution trees, nor does it require intermediate nodes to maintain any per-flow state.This architecture is known as "Bit Index Explicit Replication"(BIER). When a multicast data packet enters the domain, the ingress router determines the set of egress routers to which the packet needs to be sent. The ingress router then encapsulates the packet in aBIER header. The BIER header contains a bit string in which each bit represents exactly one egress router in the domain; to forward the packet to a given set of egress routers, the bits corresponding to those routers are set in the BIER header. The procedures for forwarding a packet based on its BIER header are specified in this document. Elimination of the per-flow state and the explicit tree- building protocols results in a considerable simplification.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 8282
The Path Computation Element (PCE) provides path computation functions in support of traffic engineering in Multiprotocol LabelSwitching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) networks.

MPLS and GMPLS networks may be constructed from layered service networks. It is advantageous for overall network efficiency to provide end-to-end traffic engineering across multiple network layers through a process called inter-layer traffic engineering. PCE is a candidate solution for such requirements.

The PCE Communication Protocol (PCEP) is designed as a communication protocol between Path Computation Clients (PCCs) and PCEs. This document presents PCEP extensions for inter-layer traffic engineering.

Content splicing is a process that replaces the content of a main multimedia stream with other multimedia content and that delivers the substitutive multimedia content to the receivers for a period of time. The splicer is designed to handle RTP splicing and needs to know when to start and end the splicing.

This memo defines two RTP/RTCP extensions to indicate the splicing- related information to the splicer: an RTP header extension that conveys the information "in band" and an RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) packet that conveys the information out of band.

A Segment Routing (SR) architecture leverages source routing and tunneling paradigms and can be directly applied to the use of aMultiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) data plane. A node steers a packet through a controlled set of instructions called "segments" by prepending the packet with an SR header.

The segment assignment and forwarding semantic nature of SR raises additional considerations for connectivity verification and fault isolation for a Label Switched Path (LSP) within an SR architecture.This document illustrates the problem and defines extensions to perform LSP Ping and Traceroute for Segment Routing IGP-Prefix andIGP-Adjacency Segment Identifiers (SIDs) with an MPLS data plane.

An application server can use the Voluntary Application ServerIdentification (VAPID) method described in this document to voluntarily identify itself to a push service. The "vapid" authentication scheme allows a client to include its identity in a signed token with requests that it makes. The signature can be used by the push service to attribute requests that are made by the same application server to a single entity. The identification information can allow the operator of a push service to contact the operator of the application server. The signature can be used to restrict the use of a push message subscription to a single application server.

RFC 8295 EST (Enrollment over Secure Transport) Extensions
 
Authors:S. Turner.
Date:January 2018
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8295
The EST (Enrollment over Secure Transport) protocol defines the Well-Known URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) -- /.well-known/est -- along with a number of other path components that clients use for PKI(Public Key Infrastructure) services, namely certificate enrollment(e.g., /simpleenroll). This document defines a number of other PKI services as additional path components -- specifically, firmware and trust anchors as well as symmetric, asymmetric, and encrypted keys.This document also specifies the PAL (Package Availability List), which is an XML (Extensible Markup Language) file or JSON (JavaScriptObject Notation) object that clients use to retrieve packages available and authorized for them. This document extends the EST server path components to provide these additional services.
 
RFC 8296 Encapsulation for Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) in MPLS and Non-MPLS Networks
 
Authors:IJ. Wijnands, Ed., E. Rosen, Ed., A. Dolganow, J. Tantsura, S. Aldrin, I. Meilik.
Date:January 2018
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8296
Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) is an architecture that provides optimal multicast forwarding through a "multicast domain", without requiring intermediate routers to maintain any per-flow state or to engage in an explicit tree-building protocol. When a multicast data packet enters the domain, the ingress router determines the set of egress routers to which the packet needs to be sent. The ingress router then encapsulates the packet in a BIER header. The BIER header contains a bit string in which each bit represents exactly one egress router in the domain; to forward the packet to a given set of egress routers, the bits corresponding to those routers are set in the BIER header. The details of the encapsulation depend on the type of network used to realize the multicast domain. This document specifies a BIER encapsulation that can be used in an MPLS network or, with slight differences, in a non-MPLS network.
 
RFC 8299 YANG Data Model for L3VPN Service Delivery
 
Authors:Q. Wu, Ed., S. Litkowski, L. Tomotaki, K. Ogaki.
Date:January 2018
Formats:txt json html
Obsoletes:RFC 8049
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8299
This document defines a YANG data model that can be used for communication between customers and network operators and to deliver a Layer 3 provider-provisioned VPN service. This document is limited to BGP PE-based VPNs as described in RFCs 4026, 4110, and 4364. This model is intended to be instantiated at the management system to deliver the overall service. It is not a configuration model to be used directly on network elements. This model provides an abstracted view of the Layer 3 IP VPN service configuration components. It will be up to the management system to take this model as input and use specific configuration models to configure the different network elements to deliver the service. How the configuration of network elements is done is out of scope for this document.

This document obsoletes RFC 8049; it replaces the unimplementable module in that RFC with a new module with the same name that is not backward compatible. The changes are a series of small fixes to theYANG module and some clarifications to the text.

Date:January 2018
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8302
This document describes mechanisms to optimize the Address ResolutionProtocol (ARP) and Neighbor Discovery (ND) traffic in a TransparentInterconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) campus. TRILL switches maintain a cache of IP / Media Access Control (MAC) address / DataLabel bindings that are learned from ARP/ND requests and responses that pass through them. In many cases, this cache allows an edgeRouting Bridge (RBridge) to avoid flooding an ARP/ND request by either responding to it directly or encapsulating it and unicasting it. Such optimization reduces packet flooding over a TRILL campus.
 
RFC 8305 Happy Eyeballs Version 2: Better Connectivity Using Concurrency

Obsoletes:RFC 6555
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8305
Many communication protocols operating over the modern Internet use hostnames. These often resolve to multiple IP addresses, each of which may have different performance and connectivity characteristics. Since specific addresses or address families (IPv4 or IPv6) may be blocked, broken, or sub-optimal on a network, clients that attempt multiple connections in parallel have a chance of establishing a connection more quickly. This document specifies requirements for algorithms that reduce this user-visible delay and provides an example algorithm, referred to as "Happy Eyeballs". This document obsoletes the original algorithm description in RFC 6555.

This memo updates RFC 3168, which specifies Explicit CongestionNotification (ECN) as an alternative to packet drops for indicating network congestion to endpoints. It relaxes restrictions in RFC 3168 that hinder experimentation towards benefits beyond just removal of loss. This memo summarizes the anticipated areas of experimentation and updates RFC 3168 to enable experimentation in these areas. AnExperimental RFC in the IETF document stream is required to take advantage of any of these enabling updates. In addition, this memo makes related updates to the ECN specifications for RTP in RFC 6679 and for the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) in RFCs 4341,4342, and 5622. This memo also records the conclusion of the ECN nonce experiment in RFC 3540 and provides the rationale for reclassification of RFC 3540 from Experimental to Historic; this reclassification enables new experimental use of the ECT(1) codepoint.

Updates:RFC 7385
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8317
The MEF Forum (MEF) has defined a rooted-multipoint Ethernet service known as Ethernet-Tree (E-Tree). A solution framework for supporting this service in MPLS networks is described in RFC 7387, "A Framework for Ethernet-Tree (E-Tree) Service over a Multiprotocol LabelSwitching (MPLS) Network". This document discusses how those functional requirements can be met with a solution based on RFC 7432,"BGP MPLS Based Ethernet VPN (EVPN)", with some extensions and a description of how such a solution can offer a more efficient implementation of these functions than that of RFC 7796,"Ethernet-Tree (E-Tree) Support in Virtual Private LAN Service(VPLS)". This document makes use of the most significant bit of theTunnel Type field (in the P-Multicast Service Interface (PMSI) Tunnel attribute) governed by the IANA registry created by RFC 7385; hence, it updates RFC 7385 accordingly.

Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8320
This document specifies extensions to the Label Distribution Protocol(LDP) to support the creation of Label Switched Paths (LSPs) forMaximally Redundant Trees (MRTs). A prime use of MRTs is for unicast and multicast IP/LDP Fast Reroute, which we will refer to as"MRT-FRR".

The sole protocol extension to LDP is simply the ability to advertise an MRT Capability. This document describes that extension and the associated behavior expected for Label Switching Routers (LSRs) andLabel Edge Routers (LERs) advertising the MRT Capability.

MRT-FRR uses LDP multi-topology extensions, so three multi-topologyIDs have been allocated from the MPLS MT-ID space.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8330
A network may contain links with variable discrete bandwidth, e.g., microwave and copper. The bandwidth of such links may change discretely in response to a changing external environment. The word"availability" is typically used to describe such links during network planning. This document defines a new type of GeneralizedSwitching Capability-Specific Information (SCSI) TLV to extend theGeneralized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Open Shortest PathFirst (OSPF) routing protocol. The extension can be used for route computation in a network that contains links with variable discrete bandwidth. Note that this document only covers the mechanisms by which the availability information is distributed. The mechanisms by which availability information of a link is determined and the use of the distributed information for route computation are outside the scope of this document. It is intended that technology-specific documents will reference this document to describe specific uses.

RFC 8333 Micro-loop Prevention by Introducing a Local Convergence Delay
 
Authors:S. Litkowski, B. Decraene, C. Filsfils, P. Francois.
Date:March 2018
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8333
This document describes a mechanism for link-state routing protocols that prevents local transient forwarding loops in case of link failure. This mechanism proposes a two-step convergence by introducing a delay between the convergence of the node adjacent to the topology change and the network-wide convergence.

Because this mechanism delays the IGP convergence, it may only be used for planned maintenance or when Fast Reroute (FRR) protects the traffic during the time between the link failure and the IGP convergence.

The mechanism is limited to the link-down event in order to keep the mechanism simple.

Simulations using real network topologies have been performed and show that local loops are a significant portion (&rt;50%) of the total forwarding loops.

This document obsoletes RFC 5653 by adding a new output token field to the GSSException class so that when the initSecContext or acceptSecContext methods of the GSSContext class fail, it has a chance to emit an error token that can be sent to the peer for debugging or informational purpose. The stream-based GSSContext methods are also removed in this version.

The GSS-API is described at a language-independent conceptual level in "Generic Security Service Application Program Interface Version 2,Update 1" (RFC 2743). The GSS-API allows a caller application to authenticate a principal identity, to delegate rights to a peer, and to apply security services such as confidentiality and integrity on a per-message basis. Examples of security mechanisms defined forGSS-API are "The Simple Public-Key GSS-API Mechanism (SPKM)"(RFC 2025) and "The Kerberos Version 5 Generic Security ServiceApplication Program Interface (GSS-API) Mechanism: Version 2"(RFC 4121).

 
RFC 8356 Experimental Codepoint Allocation for the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP)
 
Authors:D. Dhody, D. King, A. Farrel.

Updates:RFC 5440
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8356
IANA assigns values to the Path Computation Element CommunicationProtocol (PCEP) parameters (messages, objects, TLVs). IANA established a top-level registry to contain all PCEP codepoints and sub-registries. This top-level registry contains sub-registries forPCEP message, object, and TLV types. The allocation policy for each of these sub-registries is IETF Review.

This document updates RFC 5440 by changing the allocation policies for these three registries to mark some of the codepoints as assigned for Experimental Use.

Updates:RFC 3471, RFC 3473, RFC 6205
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8359
This document discusses a Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching(GMPLS) Resource reSerVation Protocol with Traffic Engineering(RSVP-TE) mechanism that enables the network to assign an upstream label for a bidirectional Label Switched Path (LSP). This is useful in scenarios where a given node does not have sufficient information to assign the correct upstream label on its own and needs to rely on the downstream node to pick an appropriate label. This document updates RFCs 3471, 3473, and 6205 as it defines processing for a special label value in the UPSTREAM_LABEL object.
 
RFC 8360 Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) Validation Reconsidered
 
Authors:G. Huston, G. Michaelson, C. Martinez, T. Bruijnzeels, A. Newton, D. Shaw.
Date:April 2018
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8360
This document specifies an alternative to the certificate validation procedure specified in RFC 6487 that reduces aspects of operational fragility in the management of certificates in the Resource PublicKey Infrastructure (RPKI), while retaining essential security features.

The procedure specified in RFC 6487 requires that ResourceCertificates are rejected entirely if they are found to overclaim any resources not contained on the issuing certificate, whereas the validation process defined here allows an issuing CertificationAuthority (CA) to chose to communicate that such ResourceCertificates should be accepted for the intersection of their resources and the issuing certificate.

It should be noted that the validation process defined here considers validation under a single trust anchor (TA) only. In particular, concerns regarding overclaims where multiple configured TAs claim overlapping resources are considered out of scope for this document.

This choice is signaled by a set of alternative Object Identifiers(OIDs) per "X.509 Extensions for IP Addresses and AS Identifiers"(RFC 3779) and "Certificate Policy (CP) for the Resource Public KeyInfrastructure (RPKI)" (RFC 6484). It should be noted that in case these OIDs are not used for any certificate under a trust anchor, the validation procedure defined here has the same outcome as the procedure defined in RFC 6487.

Furthermore, this document provides an alternative to Route OriginAuthorization (ROA) (RFC 6482) and BGPsec Router Certificate (BGPsecPKI Profiles -- publication requested) validation.

 
RFC 8361 Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL): Centralized Replication for Active-Active Broadcast, Unknown Unicast, and Multicast (BUM) Traffic

Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 6325
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8361
In Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) active-active access, a Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) check failure issue may occur when using the pseudo-nickname mechanism specified in RFC 7781. This document describes a solution to resolve this RPF check failure issue through centralized replication. All ingress Routing Bridges(RBridges) send Broadcast, Unknown Unicast, and Multicast (BUM) traffic to a centralized node with unicast TRILL encapsulation. When the centralized node receives the BUM traffic, it decapsulates the packets and forwards them to their destination RBridges using a distribution tree established per the TRILL base protocol (RFC 6325).To avoid RPF check failure on an RBridge sitting between the ingressRBridge and the centralized replication node, some change in the RPF calculation algorithm is required. RPF checks on each RBridge MUST be calculated as if the centralized node was the ingress RBridge, instead of being calculated using the actual ingress RBridge. This document updates RFC 6325.
 
RFC 8362 OSPFv3 Link State Advertisement (LSA) Extensibility

Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 5340, RFC 5838
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8362
OSPFv3 requires functional extension beyond what can readily be done with the fixed-format Link State Advertisement (LSA) as described inRFC 5340. Without LSA extension, attributes associated with OSPFv3 links and advertised IPv6 prefixes must be advertised in separateLSAs and correlated to the fixed-format LSAs. This document extends the LSA format by encoding the existing OSPFv3 LSA information inType-Length-Value (TLV) tuples and allowing advertisement of additional information with additional TLVs. Backward-compatibility mechanisms are also described.

This document updates RFC 5340, "OSPF for IPv6", and RFC 5838,"Support of Address Families in OSPFv3", by providing TLV-based encodings for the base OSPFv3 unicast support and OSPFv3 address family support.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8373
Users have various human (i.e., natural) language needs, abilities, and preferences regarding spoken, written, and signed languages.This document defines new Session Description Protocol (SDP) media- level attributes so that when establishing interactive communication sessions ("calls"), it is possible to negotiate (i.e., communicate and match) the caller's language and media needs with the capabilities of the called party. This is especially important for emergency calls, because it allows for a call to be handled by a call taker capable of communicating with the user or for a translator or relay operator to be bridged into the call during setup. However, this also applies to non-emergency calls (for example, calls to a company call center).

This document describes the need as well as a solution that uses newSDP media attributes.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8379
When a link is being prepared to be taken out of service, the traffic needs to be diverted from both ends of the link. Increasing the metric to the highest value on one side of the link is not sufficient to divert the traffic flowing in the other direction.

It is useful for the routers in an OSPFv2 or OSPFv3 routing domain to be able to advertise a link as being in a graceful-shutdown state to indicate impending maintenance activity on the link. This information can be used by the network devices to reroute the traffic effectively.

This document describes the protocol extensions to disseminate graceful-link-shutdown information in OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8383
The TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) protocol, by default, learns end station addresses from observing the data plane.In particular, it learns local Media Access Control (MAC) addresses and the edge switch port of attachment from the receipt of local data frames and learns remote MAC addresses and the edge switch port of attachment from the decapsulation of remotely sourced TRILL Data packets.

This document specifies a message by which a TRILL switch can explicitly request other TRILL switches to flush certain MAC reachability learned through the decapsulation of TRILL Data packets.This is a supplement to the TRILL automatic address forgetting (seeSection 4.8.3 of RFC 6325) and can assist in achieving more rapid convergence in case of topology or configuration change.

This document addresses the problem of the size and freshness of the endnode learning table in edge Routing Bridges (RBridges), by allowing endnodes to volunteer for endnode learning and encapsulation/decapsulation. Such an endnode is known as a "SmartEndnode". Only the attached edge RBridge can distinguish a "SmartEndnode" from a "normal endnode". The Smart Endnode uses the nickname of the attached edge RBridge, so this solution does not consume extra nicknames. The solution also enables endnodes that areFine-Grained Label (FGL) aware.

RFC 8390 RSVP-TE Path Diversity Using Exclude Route
 
Authors:Z. Ali, Ed., G. Swallow, Ed., F. Zhang, Ed., D. Beller, Ed..
Date:July 2018
Formats:txt html json
Updates:RFC 4874
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8390
RSVP-TE provides support for the communication of exclusion information during Label Switched Path (LSP) setup. A typical LSP diversity use case is for protection, where two LSPs should follow different paths through the network in order to avoid single points of failure, thus greatly improving service availability. This document specifies an approach that can be used for network scenarios where the full path(s) is not necessarily known by use of an abstract identifier for the path. Three types of abstract identifiers are specified: client based, Path Computation Element (PCE) based, and network based. This document specifies two new diversity subobjects for the RSVP eXclude Route Object (XRO) and the Explicit ExclusionRoute Subobject (EXRS).

For the protection use case, LSPs are typically created at a slow rate and exist for a long time so that it is reasonable to assume that a given (reference) path currently existing (with a well-known identifier) will continue to exist and can be used as a reference when creating the new diverse path. Re-routing of the existing(reference) LSP, before the new path is established, is not considered.

CBOR Web Token (CWT) is a compact means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties. The claims in a CWT are encoded in the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR), and CBOR ObjectSigning and Encryption (COSE) is used for added application-layer security protection. A claim is a piece of information asserted about a subject and is represented as a name/value pair consisting of a claim name and a claim value. CWT is derived from JSON Web Token(JWT) but uses CBOR rather than JSON.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8402
Segment Routing (SR) leverages the source routing paradigm. A node steers a packet through an ordered list of instructions, called"segments". A segment can represent any instruction, topological or service based. A segment can have a semantic local to an SR node or global within an SR domain. SR provides a mechanism that allows a flow to be restricted to a specific topological path, while maintaining per-flow state only at the ingress node(s) to the SR domain.

SR can be directly applied to the MPLS architecture with no change to the forwarding plane. A segment is encoded as an MPLS label. An ordered list of segments is encoded as a stack of labels. The segment to process is on the top of the stack. Upon completion of a segment, the related label is popped from the stack.

SR can be applied to the IPv6 architecture, with a new type of routing header. A segment is encoded as an IPv6 address. An ordered list of segments is encoded as an ordered list of IPv6 addresses in the routing header. The active segment is indicated by theDestination Address (DA) of the packet. The next active segment is indicated by a pointer in the new routing header.

A Path Computation Element (PCE) can compute Traffic Engineering (TE) paths through a network; these paths are subject to various constraints. Currently, TE paths are Label Switched Paths (LSPs) that are set up using the RSVP-TE signaling protocol. However, otherTE path setup methods are possible within the PCE architecture. This document proposes an extension to the PCE Communication Protocol(PCEP) to allow support for different path setup methods over a givenPCEP session.

This document updates the text from RFC 3315 (the original DHCPv6 specification) and incorporates prefix delegation (RFC 3633), stateless DHCPv6 (RFC 3736), an option to specify an upper bound for how long a client should wait before refreshing information (RFC4242), a mechanism for throttling DHCPv6 clients when DHCPv6 service is not available (RFC 7083), and relay agent handling of unknown messages (RFC 7283). In addition, this document clarifies the interactions between models of operation (RFC 7550). As such, this document obsoletes RFC 3315, RFC 3633, RFC 3736, RFC 4242, RFC 7083,RFC 7283, and RFC 7550.

 
RFC 8416 Simplified Local Internet Number Resource Management with the RPKI (SLURM)
 
Authors:D. Ma, D. Mandelberg, T. Bruijnzeels.
Date:August 2018
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8416
The Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) is a global authorization infrastructure that allows the holder of InternetNumber Resources (INRs) to make verifiable statements about those resources. Network operators, e.g., Internet Service Providers(ISPs), can use the RPKI to validate BGP route origin assertions.ISPs can also use the RPKI to validate the path of a BGP route.However, ISPs may want to establish a local view of exceptions to theRPKI data in the form of local filters and additions. The mechanisms described in this document provide a simple way to enable INR holders to establish a local, customized view of the RPKI, overriding globalRPKI repository data as needed.

Date:July 2018
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8417
This specification defines the Security Event Token (SET) data structure. A SET describes statements of fact from the perspective of an issuer about a subject. These statements of fact represent an event that occurred directly to or about a security subject, for example, a statement about the issuance or revocation of a token on behalf of a subject. This specification is intended to enable representing security- and identity-related events. A SET is a JSONWeb Token (JWT), which can be optionally signed and/or encrypted.SETs can be distributed via protocols such as HTTP.

Parallel NFS (pNFS) allows a separation between the metadata (onto a metadata server) and data (onto a storage device) for a file. The flexible file layout type is defined in this document as an extension to pNFS that allows the use of storage devices that require only a limited degree of interaction with the metadata server and use already-existing protocols. Client-side mirroring is also added to provide replication of files.
 
RFC 8436 Update to IANA Registration Procedures for Pool 3 Values in the Differentiated Services Field Codepoints (DSCP) Registry
 
Authors:G. Fairhurst.
Date:August 2018
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 2474
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8436
The Differentiated Services (Diffserv) architecture specifies use of the DS field in the IPv4 and IPv6 packet headers to carry one of 64 distinct differentiated services field codepoint (DSCP) values. TheInternet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) maintains a registry of assigned DSCP values.

This update to RFC 2474 changes the IANA registration policy for Pool3 of the registry (i.e., DSCP values of the form xxxx01) to StandardsAction, i.e., values are assigned through a Standards Track or BestCurrent Practice RFC. The update also removes permission for experimental and local use of the codepoints that form Pool 3 of theDSCP registry; Pool 2 Codepoints (i.e., DSCP values of the form xxxx11) remain available for these purposes.

Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 9272
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8444
Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) is an architecture that provides optimal multicast forwarding through a "BIER domain" without requiring intermediate routers to maintain multicast-related, per- flow state. BIER also does not require an explicit tree-building protocol for its operation. A multicast data packet enters a BIER domain at a Bit-Forwarding Ingress Router (BFIR) and leaves the BIER domain at one or more Bit-Forwarding Egress Routers (BFERs). TheBFIR adds a BIER packet header to the packet. The BIER packet header contains a BitString in which each bit represents exactly one BFER to forward the packet to. The set of BFERs to which the multicast packet needs to be forwarded is expressed by the set of bits in theBIER packet header.

This document describes the OSPF protocol extension (from RFC 2328) that is required for BIER with MPLS encapsulation (which is defined in RFC 8296). Support for other encapsulation types and the use of multiple encapsulation types are outside the scope of this document.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8460
A number of protocols exist for establishing encrypted channels between SMTP Mail Transfer Agents (MTAs), including STARTTLS, DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) TLSA, and MTA StrictTransport Security (MTA-STS). These protocols can fail due to misconfiguration or active attack, leading to undelivered messages or delivery over unencrypted or unauthenticated channels. This document describes a reporting mechanism and format by which sending systems can share statistics and specific information about potential failures with recipient domains. Recipient domains can then use this information to both detect potential attacks and diagnose unintentional misconfigurations.

RFC 8469 Recommendation to Use the Ethernet Control Word
 
Authors:S. Bryant, A. Malis, I. Bagdonas.
Date:November 2018
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 4448
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8469
The pseudowire (PW) encapsulation of Ethernet, as defined inRFC 4448, specifies that the use of the control word (CW) is optional. In the absence of the CW, an Ethernet PW packet can be misidentified as an IP packet by a label switching router (LSR).This may lead to the selection of the wrong equal-cost multipath(ECMP) path for the packet, leading in turn to the misordering of packets. This problem has become more serious due to the deployment of equipment with Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) addresses that start with 0x4 or 0x6. The use of the Ethernet PW CW addresses this problem. This document RECOMMENDS the use of the Ethernet PW CW in all but exceptional circumstances.

This document updates RFC 4448.

RFC 8473 Token Binding over HTTP
 
Authors:A. Popov, M. Nystroem, D. Balfanz, Ed., N. Harper, J. Hodges.
Date:October 2018
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8473
This document describes a collection of mechanisms that allow HTTP servers to cryptographically bind security tokens (such as cookies and OAuth tokens) to TLS connections.

We describe both first-party and federated scenarios. In a first- party scenario, an HTTP server is able to cryptographically bind the security tokens that it issues to a client -- and that the client subsequently returns to the server -- to the TLS connection between the client and the server. Such bound security tokens are protected from misuse, since the server can generally detect if they are replayed inappropriately, e.g., over other TLS connections.

Federated Token Bindings, on the other hand, allow servers to cryptographically bind security tokens to a TLS connection that the client has with a different server than the one issuing the token.

This document is a companion document to "The Token Binding ProtocolVersion 1.0" (RFC 8471).

Authors:M. Petit-Huguenin, G. Salgueiro, J. Rosenberg, D. Wing, R. Mahy, P. Matthews.
Date:February 2020
Formats:txt json html
Obsoletes:RFC 5389
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8489
Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) is a protocol that serves as a tool for other protocols in dealing with NAT traversal. It can be used by an endpoint to determine the IP address and port allocated to it by a NAT. It can also be used to check connectivity between two endpoints and as a keep-alive protocol to maintain NAT bindings.STUN works with many existing NATs and does not require any special behavior from them.

STUN is not a NAT traversal solution by itself. Rather, it is a tool to be used in the context of a NAT traversal solution.

This document obsoletes RFC 5389.

RFC 8497 Marking SIP Messages to Be Logged
 
Authors:P. Dawes, C. Arunachalam.
Date:November 2018
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8497
SIP networks use signaling monitoring tools to diagnose user-reported problems and to perform regression testing if network or user agent(UA) software is upgraded. As networks grow and become interconnected, including connection via transit networks, it becomes impractical to predict the path that SIP signaling will take between user agents and therefore impractical to monitor SIP signaling end to end.

This document describes an indicator for the SIP protocol that can be used to mark signaling as being of interest to logging. Such marking will typically be applied as part of network testing controlled by the network operator and is not used in normal user agent signaling.Operators of all networks on the signaling path can agree to carry such marking end to end, including the originating and terminatingSIP user agents, even if a session originates and terminates in different networks.

Updates:RFC 6514, RFC 6625, RFC 7524, RFC 7582, RFC 7900
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8534
The base Multicast VPN (MVPN) specifications (RFCs 6513 and 6514) provide procedures to allow a multicast ingress node to invoke"explicit tracking" for a multicast flow or set of flows, thus learning the egress nodes for that flow or set of flows. However, the specifications are not completely clear about how the explicit tracking procedures work in certain scenarios. This document provides the necessary clarifications. It also specifies a new, optimized explicit-tracking procedure. This new procedure allows an ingress node, by sending a single message, to request explicit tracking of each of a set of flows, where the set of flows is specified using a wildcard mechanism. This document updates RFCs6514, 6625, 7524, 7582, and 7900.

Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) association signaling can be used to bind two unidirectional Label Switched Paths (LSPs) into an associated bidirectional LSP. When an associated bidirectional LSP is co-routed, the reverse LSP follows the same path as its forwardLSP. This document updates the fast reroute procedures defined inRFC 4090 to support both single-sided and double-sided provisioned associated bidirectional LSPs. This document also updates the procedure for associating two reverse LSPs defined in RFC 7551 to support co-routed bidirectional LSPs. The fast reroute procedures can ensure that, for the co-routed LSPs, traffic flows on co-routed paths in the forward and reverse directions after a failure event.

Date:March 2019
Formats:txt json html
Updates:RFC 7598
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8539
DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 (RFC 7341) is a mechanism for dynamically configuring IPv4 for use as an over-the-top service in an IPv6-only network. Softwires are an example of such a service. For DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 (DHCP 4o6) to function with some IPv4-over-IPv6 softwire mechanisms and deployment scenarios (e.g., RFC 7596 or RFC 7597), the operator needs to know the IPv6 address that the client will use as the source of an IPv4-in-IPv6 softwire tunnel. This address, in conjunction with the client's IPv4 address, and (in some deployments) the Port Set ID are used to create a binding table entry in the operator's softwire tunnel concentrator. This memo defines a DHCPv6 option to convey IPv6 parameters for establishing the softwire tunnel and a DHCPv4 option (to be used only with DHCP 4o6) to communicate the source tunnel IPv6 address between the DHCP 4o6 client and server. It is designed to work in conjunction with the IPv4 address allocation process.

"DHCPv6 Options for Configuration of Softwire Address and Port-MappedClients" (RFC 7598) describes a deterministic DHCPv6-based mechanism for provisioning softwires. This document updates RFC 7598, allowingOPTION_S46_BR (90) to be enumerated in the DHCPv6 client's OptionRequest Option (ORO) request and to appear directly within subsequent messages sent by the DHCPv6 server.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8555
Public Key Infrastructure using X.509 (PKIX) certificates are used for a number of purposes, the most significant of which is the authentication of domain names. Thus, certification authorities(CAs) in the Web PKI are trusted to verify that an applicant for a certificate legitimately represents the domain name(s) in the certificate. As of this writing, this verification is done through a collection of ad hoc mechanisms. This document describes a protocol that a CA and an applicant can use to automate the process of verification and certificate issuance. The protocol also provides facilities for other certificate management functions, such as certificate revocation.
 
RFC 8556 Multicast VPN Using Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER)
 
Authors:E. Rosen, Ed., M. Sivakumar, T. Przygienda, S. Aldrin, A. Dolganow.
Date:April 2019
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8556
The Multicast Virtual Private Network (MVPN) specifications require the use of multicast tunnels ("P-tunnels") that traverse a service provider's backbone network. The P-tunnels are used for carrying multicast traffic across the backbone. A variety of P-tunnel types are supported. Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) is a new architecture that provides optimal multicast forwarding through a"multicast domain", without requiring intermediate routers to maintain any per-flow state or to engage in an explicit tree-building protocol. This document specifies the protocol and procedures that allow MVPN to use BIER as the method of carrying multicast traffic over a service provider's backbone network.
 
RFC 8559 Dynamic Authorization Proxying in the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) Protocol

RFC 8577 Signaling RSVP-TE Tunnels on a Shared MPLS Forwarding Plane
 
Authors:H. Sitaraman, V. Beeram, T. Parikh, T. Saad.
Date:April 2019
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8577
As the scale of MPLS RSVP-TE networks has grown, the number of LabelSwitched Paths (LSPs) supported by individual network elements has increased. Various implementation recommendations have been proposed to manage the resulting increase in the amount of control-plane state information.

However, those changes have had no effect on the number of labels that a transit Label Switching Router (LSR) has to support in the forwarding plane. That number is governed by the number of LSPs transiting or terminated at the LSR and is directly related to the total LSP state in the control plane.

This document defines a mechanism to prevent the maximum size of the label space limit on an LSR from being a constraint to control-plane scaling on that node. It introduces the notion of preinstalled'per-TE link labels' that can be shared by MPLS RSVP-TE LSPs that traverse these TE links. This approach significantly reduces the forwarding-plane state required to support a large number of LSPs.This couples the feature benefits of the RSVP-TE control plane with the simplicity of the Segment Routing (SR) MPLS forwarding plane.

 
RFC 8579 Sieve Email Filtering: Delivering to Special-Use Mailboxes
 
Authors:S. Bosch.
Date:May 2019
Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8579
The SPECIAL-USE capability of the IMAP protocol (RFC 6154) allows clients to identify special-use mailboxes, e.g., where draft or sent messages should be put. This simplifies client configuration. In contrast, the Sieve mail filtering language (RFC 5228) currently has no such capability. This memo defines a Sieve extension that fills this gap: it adds a test for checking whether a special-use attribute is assigned for a particular mailbox or any mailbox, and it adds the ability to file messages into a mailbox identified solely by a special-use attribute.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8595
This document describes how Service Function Chaining (SFC) can be achieved in an MPLS network by means of a logical representation of the Network Service Header (NSH) in an MPLS label stack. That is, the NSH is not used, but the fields of the NSH are mapped to fields in the MPLS label stack. This approach does not deprecate or replace the NSH, but it acknowledges that there may be a need for an interim deployment of SFC functionality in brownfield networks.

RFC 8622 A Lower-Effort Per-Hop Behavior (LE PHB) for Differentiated Services
 
Authors:R. Bless.
Date:June 2019
Formats:txt json html
Obsoletes:RFC 3662
Updates:RFC 4594, RFC 8325
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8622
This document specifies properties and characteristics of a Lower-Effort Per-Hop Behavior (LE PHB). The primary objective of this LEPHB is to protect Best-Effort (BE) traffic (packets forwarded with the default PHB) from LE traffic in congestion situations, i.e., when resources become scarce, BE traffic has precedence over LE traffic and may preempt it. Alternatively, packets forwarded by the LE PHB can be associated with a scavenger service class, i.e., they scavenge otherwise-unused resources only. There are numerous uses for thisPHB, e.g., for background traffic of low precedence, such as bulk data transfers with low priority in time, non-time-critical backups, larger software updates, web search engines while gathering information from web servers and so on. This document recommends a standard Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value for the LEPHB.

This specification obsoletes RFC 3662 and updates the DSCP recommended in RFCs 4594 and 8325 to use the DSCP assigned in this specification.

RFC 8627 RTP Payload Format for Flexible Forward Error Correction (FEC)
 
Authors:M. Zanaty, V. Singh, A. Begen, G. Mandyam.
Date:July 2019
Formats:txt json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8627
This document defines new RTP payload formats for the Forward ErrorCorrection (FEC) packets that are generated by the non-interleaved and interleaved parity codes from source media encapsulated in RTP.These parity codes are systematic codes (Flexible FEC, or "FLEXFEC"), where a number of FEC repair packets are generated from a set of source packets from one or more source RTP streams. These FEC repair packets are sent in a redundancy RTP stream separate from the source RTP stream(s) that carries the source packets. RTP source packets that were lost in transmission can be reconstructed using the source and repair packets that were received. The non-interleaved and interleaved parity codes that are defined in this specification offer a good protection against random and bursty packet losses, respectively, at a cost of complexity. The RTP payload formats that are defined in this document address scalability issues experienced with the earlier specifications and offer several improvements. Due to these changes, the new payload formats are not backward compatible with earlier specifications; however, endpoints that do not implement this specification can still work by simply ignoring the FEC repair packets.

Obsoletes:RFC 7730
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8630
This document defines a Trust Anchor Locator (TAL) for the ResourcePublic Key Infrastructure (RPKI). The TAL allows Relying Parties in the RPKI to download the current Trust Anchor (TA) CertificationAuthority (CA) certificate from one or more locations and verify that the key of this self-signed certificate matches the key on the TAL.Thus, Relying Parties can be configured with TA keys but can allow these TAs to change the content of their CA certificate. In particular, it allows TAs to change the set of IP Address Delegations and/or Autonomous System Identifier Delegations included in the extension(s) (RFC 3779) of their certificate.

This document obsoletes the previous definition of the TAL as provided in RFC 7730 by adding support for Uniform ResourceIdentifiers (URIs) (RFC 3986) that use HTTP over TLS (HTTPS) (RFC7230) as the scheme.

Formats:txt html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8638
During the transition to IPv6, there are scenarios where a backbone network internally running one IP address family (referred to as the internal IP or I-IP family) connects client networks running anotherIP address family (referred to as the external IP or E-IP family).In such cases, the I-IP backbone needs to offer both unicast and multicast transit services to the client E-IP networks.

This document describes a mechanism for supporting multicast across backbone networks where the I-IP and E-IP protocol families differ.The document focuses on the IPv4-over-IPv6 scenario, due to lack of real-world use cases for the IPv6-over-IPv4 scenario.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8655
This document provides the overall architecture for DeterministicNetworking (DetNet), which provides a capability to carry specified unicast or multicast data flows for real-time applications with extremely low data loss rates and bounded latency within a network domain. Techniques used include 1) reserving data-plane resources for individual (or aggregated) DetNet flows in some or all of the intermediate nodes along the path of the flow, 2) providing explicit routes for DetNet flows that do not immediately change with the network topology, and 3) distributing data from DetNet flow packets over time and/or space to ensure delivery of each packet's data in spite of the loss of a path. DetNet operates at the IP layer and delivers service over lower-layer technologies such as MPLS and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) as defined by IEEE 802.1.
 
RFC 8656 Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN): Relay Extensions to Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN)

Obsoletes:RFC 5766, RFC 6156
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8656
If a host is located behind a NAT, it can be impossible for that host to communicate directly with other hosts (peers) in certain situations. In these situations, it is necessary for the host to use the services of an intermediate node that acts as a communication relay. This specification defines a protocol, called "TraversalUsing Relays around NAT" (TURN), that allows the host to control the operation of the relay and to exchange packets with its peers using the relay. TURN differs from other relay control protocols in that it allows a client to communicate with multiple peers using a single relay address.

The TURN protocol was designed to be used as part of the InteractiveConnectivity Establishment (ICE) approach to NAT traversal, though it can also be used without ICE.

This document obsoletes RFCs 5766 and 6156.

 
RFC 8657 Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) Record Extensions for Account URI and Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) Method Binding

DOI:10.17487/RFC 8657
The Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) DNS record allows a domain to communicate an issuance policy to Certification Authorities(CAs) but only allows a domain to define a policy with CA-level granularity. However, the CAA specification (RFC 8659) also provides facilities for an extension to admit a more granular, CA-specific policy. This specification defines two such parameters: one allowing specific accounts of a CA to be identified by URIs and one allowing specific methods of domain control validation as defined by theAutomatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol to be required.

IPv4-over-IPv6 transition mechanisms provide IPv4 connectivity services over IPv6 native networks during the IPv4/IPv6 coexistence period. DHCPv6 options have been defined to configure clients forLightweight 4over6, Mapping of Address and Port with Encapsulation(MAP-E), Mapping of Address and Port using Translation (MAP-T) unicast softwire mechanisms, and multicast softwires. However, in many networks, configuration information is stored in anAuthentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server, which utilizes the Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) protocol to provide centralized management for users. When a new transition mechanism is developed, new RADIUS attributes need to be defined correspondingly.

This document defines new RADIUS attributes to carry softwire configuration parameters based on Address plus Port from a AAA server to a Broadband Network Gateway. Both unicast and multicast attributes are covered.

A Segment Routing (SR) node steers a packet through a controlled set of instructions, called segments, by prepending the packet with an SR header. A segment can represent any instruction, topological or service based. SR allows enforcing a flow through any topological path while maintaining per-flow state only at the ingress node to theSR domain.

The Segment Routing architecture can be directly applied to the MPLS data plane with no change in the forwarding plane. This document describes how Segment Routing MPLS operates in a network where LDP is deployed and in the case where SR-capable and non-SR-capable nodes coexist.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8663
MPLS Segment Routing (SR-MPLS) is a method of source routing a packet through an MPLS data plane by imposing a stack of MPLS labels on the packet to specify the path together with any packet-specific instructions to be executed on it. SR-MPLS can be leveraged to realize a source-routing mechanism across MPLS, IPv4, and IPv6 data planes by using an MPLS label stack as a source-routing instruction set while making no changes to SR-MPLS specifications and interworking with SR-MPLS implementations.

This document describes how SR-MPLS-capable routers and IP-only routers can seamlessly coexist and interoperate through the use ofSR-MPLS label stacks and IP encapsulation/tunneling such as MPLS- over-UDP as defined in RFC 7510.

Segment Routing (SR) enables any head-end node to select any path without relying on a hop-by-hop signaling technique (e.g., LDP orRSVP-TE). It depends only on "segments" that are advertised by link- state Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs). An SR path can be derived from a variety of mechanisms, including an IGP Shortest Path Tree(SPT), an explicit configuration, or a Path Computation Element(PCE). This document specifies extensions to the Path ComputationElement Communication Protocol (PCEP) that allow a stateful PCE to compute and initiate Traffic-Engineering (TE) paths, as well as aPath Computation Client (PCC) to request a path subject to certain constraints and optimization criteria in SR networks.

This document updates RFC 8408.

Segment Routing (SR) leverages the source-routing paradigm. A node steers a packet through an ordered list of instructions called"segments". A segment can represent any instruction, topological or service based. The ingress node prepends an SR header to a packet containing a set of segment identifiers (SIDs). Each SID represents a topological or service-based instruction. Per-flow state is maintained only on the ingress node of the SR domain. An "SR domain" is defined as a single administrative domain for global SID assignment.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 8675
This document specifies the initial version of a YANG module "iana- tunnel-type", which contains a collection of IANA-maintained YANG identities used as interface types for tunnel interfaces. The module reflects the "tunnelType" registry maintained by IANA. The latest revision of this YANG module can be obtained from the IANA website.

Tunnel type values are not directly added to the Tunnel InterfaceTypes YANG module; they must instead be added to the "tunnelType"IANA registry. Once a new tunnel type registration is made by IANA for a new tunneling scheme or even an existing one that is not already listed in the current registry (e.g., LISP, NSH), IANA will update the Tunnel Interface Types YANG module accordingly.

Some of the IETF-defined tunneling techniques are not listed in the current IANA registry. It is not the intent of this document to update the existing IANA registry with a comprehensive list of tunnel technologies. Registrants must follow the IETF registration procedure for interface types whenever a new tunnel type is needed.

RFC 8679 MPLS Egress Protection Framework
 
Authors:Y. Shen, M. Jeganathan, B. Decraene, H. Gredler, C. Michel, H. Chen.
Date:December 2019
Formats:txt pdf xml json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8679
This document specifies a fast reroute framework for protecting IP/MPLS services and MPLS transport tunnels against egress node and egress link failures. For each type of egress failure, it defines the roles of Point of Local Repair (PLR), protector, and backup egress router and the procedures of establishing a bypass tunnel from a PLR to a protector. It describes the behaviors of these routers in handling an egress failure, including local repair on the PLR and context-based forwarding on the protector. The framework can be used to develop egress protection mechanisms to reduce traffic loss before global repair reacts to an egress failure and control-plane protocols converge on the topology changes due to the egress failure.
 
RFC 8680 Forward Error Correction (FEC) Framework Extension to Sliding Window Codes
 
Authors:V. Roca, A. Begen.
Date:January 2020
Formats:txt json pdf html xml
Updates:RFC 6363
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8680
RFC 6363 describes a framework for using Forward Error Correction(FEC) codes to provide protection against packet loss. The framework supports applying FEC to arbitrary packet flows over unreliable transport and is primarily intended for real-time, or streaming, media. However, FECFRAME as per RFC 6363 is restricted to block FEC codes. This document updates RFC 6363 to support FEC codes based on a sliding encoding window, in addition to block FEC codes, in a backward-compatible way. During multicast/broadcast real-time content delivery, the use of sliding window codes significantly improves robustness in harsh environments, with less repair traffic and lower FEC-related added latency.
 
RFC 8681 Sliding Window Random Linear Code (RLC) Forward Erasure Correction (FEC) Schemes for FECFRAME
 
Authors:V. Roca, B. Teibi.
Date:January 2020
Formats:txt json pdf xml html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8681
This document describes two fully specified Forward ErasureCorrection (FEC) Schemes for Sliding Window Random Linear Codes(RLC), one for RLC over the Galois Field (a.k.a., Finite Field)GF(2), a second one for RLC over the Galois Field GF(2^(8)), each time with the possibility of controlling the code density. They can protect arbitrary media streams along the lines defined by FECFRAME extended to Sliding Window FEC Codes. These Sliding Window FEC Codes rely on an encoding window that slides over the source symbols, generating new repair symbols whenever needed. Compared to block FEC codes, these Sliding Window FEC Codes offer key advantages with real- time flows in terms of reduced FEC-related latency while often providing improved packet erasure recovery capabilities.
 
RFC 8682 TinyMT32 Pseudorandom Number Generator (PRNG)
 
Authors:M. Saito, M. Matsumoto, V. Roca, Ed., E. Baccelli.
Date:January 2020
Formats:txt xml pdf html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8682
This document describes the TinyMT32 Pseudorandom Number Generator(PRNG), which produces 32-bit pseudorandom unsigned integers and aims at having a simple-to-use and deterministic solution. This PRNG is a small-sized variant of the Mersenne Twister (MT) PRNG. The main advantage of TinyMT32 over MT is the use of a small internal state, compatible with most target platforms that include embedded devices, while keeping reasonably good randomness that represents a significant improvement compared to the Park-Miller LinearCongruential PRNG. However, neither the TinyMT nor MT PRNG is meant to be used for cryptographic applications.
 
RFC 8684 TCP Extensions for Multipath Operation with Multiple Addresses
 
Authors:A. Ford, C. Raiciu, M. Handley, O. Bonaventure, C. Paasch.
Date:March 2020
Formats:txt json xml pdf html
Obsoletes:RFC 6824
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8684
TCP/IP communication is currently restricted to a single path per connection, yet multiple paths often exist between peers. The simultaneous use of these multiple paths for a TCP/IP session would improve resource usage within the network and thus improve user experience through higher throughput and improved resilience to network failure.

Multipath TCP provides the ability to simultaneously use multiple paths between peers. This document presents a set of extensions to traditional TCP to support multipath operation. The protocol offers the same type of service to applications as TCP (i.e., a reliable bytestream), and it provides the components necessary to establish and use multiple TCP flows across potentially disjoint paths.

This document specifies v1 of Multipath TCP, obsoleting v0 as specified in RFC 6824, through clarifications and modifications primarily driven by deployment experience.

RFC 8686 Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) Cross-Domain Server Discovery
 
Authors:S. Kiesel, M. Stiemerling.
Date:February 2020
Formats:txt html json pdf xml
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8686
The goal of Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) is to provide guidance to applications that have to select one or several hosts from a set of candidates capable of providing a desired resource. ALTO is realized by a client-server protocol. Before anALTO client can ask for guidance, it needs to discover one or moreALTO servers that can provide suitable guidance.

In some deployment scenarios, in particular if the information about the network topology is partitioned and distributed over several ALTO servers, it may be necessary to discover an ALTO server outside of the ALTO client's own network domain, in order to get appropriate guidance. This document details applicable scenarios, itemizes requirements, and specifies a procedure for ALTO cross-domain server discovery.

Technically, the procedure specified in this document takes oneIP address or prefix and a U-NAPTR Service Parameter (typically,"ALTO:https") as parameters. It performs DNS lookups (for NAPTR resource records in the "in-addr.arpa." or "ip6.arpa." trees) and returns one or more URIs of information resources related to that IP address or prefix.

 
RFC 8687 OSPF Routing with Cross-Address Family Traffic Engineering Tunnels
 
Authors:A. Smirnov, A. Retana, M. Barnes.
Date:November 2019
Formats:txt html pdf xml json
Updates:RFC 5786
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8687
When using Traffic Engineering (TE) in a dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 network, the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) TE Label SwitchedPath (LSP) infrastructure may be duplicated, even if the destinationIPv4 and IPv6 addresses belong to the same remote router. In order to achieve an integrated MPLS TE LSP infrastructure, OSPF routes must be computed over MPLS TE tunnels created using information propagated in another OSPF instance. This issue is solved by advertising cross- address family (X-AF) OSPF TE information.

This document describes an update to RFC 5786 that allows for the easy identification of a router's local X-AF IP addresses.

 
RFC 8688 A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Response Code for Rejected Calls
 
Authors:E.W. Burger, B. Nagda.
Date:December 2019
Formats:txt json html pdf xml
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8688
This document defines the 608 (Rejected) Session Initiation Protocol(SIP) response code. This response code enables calling parties to learn that an intermediary rejected their call attempt. No one will deliver, and thus answer, the call. As a 6xx code, the caller will be aware that future attempts to contact the same User Agent Server will likely fail. The initial use case driving the need for the 608 response code is when the intermediary is an analytics engine. In this case, the rejection is by a machine or other process. This contrasts with the 607 (Unwanted) SIP response code in which a human at the target User Agent Server indicates the user did not want the call. In some jurisdictions, this distinction is important. This document also defines the use of the Call-Info header field in 608 responses to enable rejected callers to contact entities that blocked their calls in error. This provides a remediation mechanism for legal callers that find their calls blocked.
 
RFC 8689 SMTP Require TLS Option
 
Authors:J. Fenton.
Date:November 2019
Formats:txt json pdf xml html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8689
The SMTP STARTTLS option, used in negotiating transport-level encryption of SMTP connections, is not as useful from a security standpoint as it might be because of its opportunistic nature; message delivery is, by default, prioritized over security. This document describes an SMTP service extension, REQUIRETLS, and a message header field, TLS-Required. If the REQUIRETLS option or TLS-Required message header field is used when sending a message, it asserts a request on the part of the message sender to override the default negotiation of TLS, either by requiring that TLS be negotiated when the message is relayed or by requesting that recipient-side policy mechanisms such as MTA-STS and DNS-BasedAuthentication of Named Entities (DANE) be ignored when relaying a message for which security is unimportant.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8690
RFC 8287 defines the extensions to perform LSP Ping and Traceroute for Segment Routing IGP-Prefix and IGP-Adjacency Segment Identifiers(SIDs) with the MPLS data plane. RFC 8287 proposes three TargetForwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) Stack sub-TLVs. While RFC 8287 defines the format and procedure to handle those sub-TLVs, it does not sufficiently clarify how the length of the Segment ID sub-TLVs should be computed to be included in the Length field of the sub-TLVs. This ambiguity has resulted in interoperability issues.

This document updates RFC 8287 by clarifying the length of each of the Segment ID sub-TLVs defined in RFC 8287.

Formats:txt html xml pdf json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8696
The invention of a large-scale quantum computer would pose a serious challenge for the cryptographic algorithms that are widely deployed today. The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) supports key transport and key agreement algorithms that could be broken by the invention of such a quantum computer. By storing communications that are protected with the CMS today, someone could decrypt them in the future when a large-scale quantum computer becomes available. Once quantum-secure key management algorithms are available, the CMS will be extended to support the new algorithms if the existing syntax does not accommodate them. This document describes a mechanism to protect today's communication from the future invention of a large-scale quantum computer by mixing the output of key transport and key agreement algorithms with a pre-shared key.

Formats:txt xml html pdf json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8703
The Dynamic Link Exchange Protocol (DLEP) is a protocol for modems to advertise the status of wireless links between reachable destinations to attached routers. The core specification of the protocol (RFC8175) assumes that every modem in the radio network has an attachedDLEP router and requires that the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the DLEP interface on the attached router be used to identify the destination in the network, for purposes of reporting the state and quality of the link to that destination.

This document describes a DLEP extension that allows modems that do not meet the strict requirement above to use DLEP to describe link availability and quality to one or more destinations reachable beyond a device on the Layer 2 domain.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8706
This document describes a mechanism for a restarting router to signal to its neighbors that it is restarting, allowing them to reestablish their adjacencies without cycling through the DOWN state while still correctly initiating database synchronization.

This document additionally describes a mechanism for a router to signal its neighbors that it is preparing to initiate a restart while maintaining forwarding-plane state. This allows the neighbors to maintain their adjacencies until the router has restarted but also allows the neighbors to bring the adjacencies down in the event of other topology changes.

This document additionally describes a mechanism for a restarting router to determine when it has achieved Link State Protocol DataUnit (LSP) database synchronization with its neighbors and a mechanism to optimize LSP database synchronization while minimizing transient routing disruption when a router starts.

This document obsoletes RFC 5306.

Formats:txt json xml html pdf
Updated by:RFC 9441
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8724
This document defines the Static Context Header Compression and fragmentation (SCHC) framework, which provides both a header compression mechanism and an optional fragmentation mechanism. SCHC has been designed with Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) in mind.

SCHC compression is based on a common static context stored both in the LPWAN device and in the network infrastructure side. This document defines a generic header compression mechanism and its application to compress IPv6/UDP headers.

This document also specifies an optional fragmentation and reassembly mechanism. It can be used to support the IPv6 MTU requirement over the LPWAN technologies. Fragmentation is needed for IPv6 datagrams that, after SCHC compression or when such compression was not possible, still exceed the Layer 2 maximum payload size.

The SCHC header compression and fragmentation mechanisms are independent of the specific LPWAN technology over which they are used. This document defines generic functionalities and offers flexibility with regard to parameter settings and mechanism choices.This document standardizes the exchange over the LPWAN between twoSCHC entities. Settings and choices specific to a technology or a product are expected to be grouped into profiles, which are specified in other documents. Data models for the context and profiles are out of scope.

Public key certificates need to be revoked when they are compromised, that is, when the associated private key is exposed to an unauthorized entity. However, the revocation process is often unreliable. An alternative to revocation is issuing a sequence of certificates, each with a short validity period, and terminating the sequence upon compromise. This memo proposes an AutomatedCertificate Management Environment (ACME) extension to enable the issuance of Short-Term, Automatically Renewed (STAR) X.509 certificates.

RFC 8741 Ability for a Stateful Path Computation Element (PCE) to Request and Obtain Control of a Label Switched Path (LSP)
 
Authors:A. Raghuram, A. Goddard, J. Karthik, S. Sivabalan, M. Negi.
Date:March 2020
Formats:txt html pdf json xml
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8741
A stateful Path Computation Element (PCE) retains information about the placement of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) TrafficEngineering Label Switched Paths (TE LSPs). When a PCE has stateful control over LSPs, it may send indications to LSP head-ends to modify the attributes (especially the paths) of the LSPs. A PathComputation Client (PCC) that has set up LSPs under local configuration may delegate control of those LSPs to a stateful PCE.

There are use cases in which a stateful PCE may wish to obtain control of locally configured LSPs that it is aware of but have not been delegated to the PCE.

This document describes an extension to the Path Computation ElementCommunication Protocol (PCEP) to enable a PCE to make requests for such control.

 
RFC 8742 Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) Sequences

RFC 8750 Implicit Initialization Vector (IV) for Counter-Based Ciphers in Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
 
Authors:D. Migault, T. Guggemos, Y. Nir.
Date:March 2020
Formats:txt html json xml pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8750
Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) sends an initialization vector(IV) in each packet. The size of the IV depends on the applied transform and is usually 8 or 16 octets for the transforms defined at the time this document was written. When used with IPsec, some algorithms, such as AES-GCM, AES-CCM, and ChaCha20-Poly1305, take theIV to generate a nonce that is used as an input parameter for encrypting and decrypting. This IV must be unique but can be predictable. As a result, the value provided in the ESP SequenceNumber (SN) can be used instead to generate the nonce. This avoids sending the IV itself and saves 8 octets per packet in the case ofAES-GCM, AES-CCM, and ChaCha20-Poly1305. This document describes how to do this.
 
RFC 8753 Internationalized Domain Names for Applications (IDNA) Review for New Unicode Versions

Formats:txt pdf json xml html
Updates:RFC 5892
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8753
The standards for Internationalized Domain Names in Applications(IDNA) require a review of each new version of Unicode to determine whether incompatibilities with prior versions or other issues exist and, where appropriate, to allow the IETF to decide on the trade-offs between compatibility with prior IDNA versions and compatibility withUnicode going forward. That requirement, and its relationship to tables maintained by IANA, has caused significant confusion in the past. This document makes adjustments to the review procedure based on experience and updates IDNA, specifically RFC 5892, to reflect those changes and to clarify the various relationships involved. It also makes other minor adjustments to align that document with experience.

Formats:txt html json xml pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8765
The Domain Name System (DNS) was designed to return matching records efficiently for queries for data that are relatively static. When those records change frequently, DNS is still efficient at returning the updated results when polled, as long as the polling rate is not too high. But, there exists no mechanism for a client to be asynchronously notified when these changes occur. This document defines a mechanism for a client to be notified of such changes toDNS records, called DNS Push Notifications.

Updates:RFC 1034, RFC 1035, RFC 2181
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8767
This document defines a method (serve-stale) for recursive resolvers to use stale DNS data to avoid outages when authoritative nameservers cannot be reached to refresh expired data. One of the motivations for serve-stale is to make the DNS more resilient to DoS attacks and thereby make them less attractive as an attack vector. This document updates the definitions of TTL from RFCs 1034 and 1035 so that data can be kept in the cache beyond the TTL expiry; it also updates RFC2181 by interpreting values with the high-order bit set as being positive, rather than 0, and suggests a cap of 7 days.

The possibility of quantum computers poses a serious challenge to cryptographic algorithms deployed widely today. The Internet KeyExchange Protocol Version 2 (IKEv2) is one example of a cryptosystem that could be broken; someone storing VPN communications today could decrypt them at a later time when a quantum computer is available.It is anticipated that IKEv2 will be extended to support quantum- secure key exchange algorithms; however, that is not likely to happen in the near term. To address this problem before then, this document describes an extension of IKEv2 to allow it to be resistant to a quantum computer by using preshared keys.

This document updates RFC 4090 for the Resource Reservation Protocol(RSVP) Traffic Engineering (TE) procedures defined for facility backup protection. The updates include extensions that reduce the amount of signaling and processing that occurs during Fast Reroute(FRR); as a result, scalability when undergoing FRR convergence after a link or node failure is improved. These extensions allow the RSVP message exchange between the Point of Local Repair (PLR) and theMerge Point (MP) nodes to be independent of the number of protectedLabel Switched Paths (LSPs) traversing between them when facility bypass FRR protection is used. The signaling extensions are fully backwards compatible with nodes that do not support them.

RFC 8824 Static Context Header Compression (SCHC) for the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP)
 
Authors:A. Minaburo, L. Toutain, R. Andreasen.
Date:June 2021
Formats:txt json html pdf xml
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8824
This document defines how to compress Constrained ApplicationProtocol (CoAP) headers using the Static Context Header Compression and fragmentation (SCHC) framework. SCHC defines a header compression mechanism adapted for Constrained Devices. SCHC uses a static description of the header to reduce the header's redundancy and size. While RFC 8724 describes the SCHC compression and fragmentation framework, and its application for IPv6/UDP headers, this document applies SCHC to CoAP headers. The CoAP header structure differs from IPv6 and UDP, since CoAP uses a flexible header with a variable number of options, themselves of variable length. The CoAP message format is asymmetric: the request messages have a header format different from the format in the response messages. This specification gives guidance on applying SCHC to flexible headers and how to leverage the asymmetry for more efficient compression Rules.

Date:January 2021
Formats:txt html xml pdf json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8861
RTP allows multiple RTP streams to be sent in a single session but requires each Synchronization Source (SSRC) to send RTP ControlProtocol (RTCP) reception quality reports for every other SSRC visible in the session. This causes the number of RTCP reception reports to grow with the number of SSRCs, rather than the number of endpoints. In many cases, most of these RTCP reception reports are unnecessary, since all SSRCs of an endpoint are normally co-located and see the same reception quality. This memo defines a ReportingGroup extension to RTCP to reduce the reporting overhead in such scenarios.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8863
During the process of establishing peer-to-peer connectivity,Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) agents can encounter situations where they have no candidate pairs to check, and, as a result, conclude that ICE processing has failed. However, because additional candidate pairs can be discovered during ICE processing, declaring failure at this point may be premature. This document discusses when these situations can occur.

This document updates RFCs 8445 and 8838 by requiring that an ICE agent wait a minimum amount of time before declaring ICE failure, even if there are no candidate pairs left to check.

RFC 8873 Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) over Data Channels
 
Authors:JM. Recio, Ed., C. Holmberg.
Date:January 2021
Formats:txt json xml html pdf
Updates:RFC 4975
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8873
This document specifies how a Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) data channel can be used as a transport mechanism for the MessageSession Relay Protocol (MSRP) and how the Session DescriptionProtocol (SDP) offer/answer mechanism can be used to negotiate such a data channel, referred to as an MSRP data channel. Two network configurations are supported: the connection of two MSRP data channel endpoints; and a gateway configuration, which connects an MSRP data channel endpoint with an MSRP endpoint that uses either TCP or TLS.This document updates RFC 4975.
 
RFC 8876 Non-interactive Emergency Calls
 
Authors:B. Rosen, H. Schulzrinne, H. Tschofenig, R. Gellens.
Date:September 2020
Formats:txt json pdf xml html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8876
Use of the Internet for emergency calling is described in RFC 6443,'Framework for Emergency Calling Using Internet Multimedia'. In some cases of emergency calls, the transmission of application data is all that is needed, and no interactive media channel is established: a situation referred to as 'non-interactive emergency calls', where, unlike most emergency calls, there is no two-way interactive media such as voice or video or text. This document describes use of a SIPMESSAGE transaction that includes a container for the data based on the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP). That type of emergency request does not establish a session, distinguishing it from SIP INVITE, which does. Any device that needs to initiate a request for emergency services without an interactive media channel would use the mechanisms in this document.

RFC 8880 Special Use Domain Name 'ipv4only.arpa'
 
Authors:S. Cheshire, D. Schinazi.
Date:August 2020
Formats:txt html json pdf xml
Updates:RFC 7050
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8880
NAT64 (Network Address and Protocol Translation from IPv6 Clients toIPv4 Servers) allows client devices using IPv6 to communicate with servers that have only IPv4 connectivity.

The specification for how a client discovers its local network'sNAT64 prefix (RFC 7050) defines the special name 'ipv4only.arpa' for this purpose. However, in its Domain Name Reservation Considerations section (Section 8.1), that specification (RFC 7050) indicates that the name actually has no particularly special properties that would require special handling.

Consequently, despite the well-articulated special purpose of the name, 'ipv4only.arpa' was not recorded in the Special-Use DomainNames registry as a name with special properties.

This document updates RFC 7050. It describes the special treatment required and formally declares the special properties of the name.It also adds similar declarations for the corresponding reverse mapping names.

This document describes the Network File System (NFS) version 4 minor version 1, including features retained from the base protocol (NFS version 4 minor version 0, which is specified in RFC 7530) and protocol extensions made subsequently. The later minor version has no dependencies on NFS version 4 minor version 0, and is considered a separate protocol.

This document obsoletes RFC 5661. It substantially revises the treatment of features relating to multi-server namespace, superseding the description of those features appearing in RFC 5661.

 
RFC 8883 ICMPv6 Errors for Discarding Packets Due to Processing Limits
 
Authors:T. Herbert.

Formats:txt json xml pdf html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8883
Network nodes may discard packets if they are unable to process protocol headers of packets due to processing constraints or limits.When such packets are dropped, the sender receives no indication, so it cannot take action to address the cause of discarded packets.This specification defines several new ICMPv6 errors that can be sent by a node that discards packets because it is unable to process the protocol headers. A node that receives such an ICMPv6 error may use the information to diagnose packet loss and may modify what it sends in future packets to avoid subsequent packet discards.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8888
An effective RTP congestion control algorithm requires more fine- grained feedback on packet loss, timing, and Explicit CongestionNotification (ECN) marks than is provided by the standard RTP ControlProtocol (RTCP) Sender Report (SR) and Receiver Report (RR) packets.This document describes an RTCP feedback message intended to enable congestion control for interactive real-time traffic using RTP. The feedback message is designed for use with a sender-based congestion control algorithm, in which the receiver of an RTP flow sends back to the sender RTCP feedback packets containing the information the sender needs to perform congestion control.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8892
This document provides guidelines and procedures for those who are defining, registering, or evaluating definitions of new interface types ("ifType" values) and tunnel types. The original definition of the IANA interface type registry predated the use of IANAConsiderations sections and YANG modules, so some confusion arose over time. Tunnel types were added later, with the same requirements and allocation policy as interface types. This document updates RFC2863 and provides updated guidance for these registries.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8895
The Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) protocol (RFC 7285) provides network-related information, called network information resources, to client applications so that clients can make informed decisions in utilizing network resources. This document presents a mechanism to allow an ALTO server to push updates to ALTO clients to achieve two benefits: (1) updates can be incremental, in that if only a small section of an information resource changes, the ALTO server can send just the changes and (2) updates can be immediate, in that the ALTO server can send updates as soon as they are available.

Updates:RFC 4821, RFC 4960, RFC 6951, RFC 8085, RFC 8261
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8899
This document specifies Datagram Packetization Layer Path MTUDiscovery (DPLPMTUD). This is a robust method for Path MTU Discovery(PMTUD) for datagram Packetization Layers (PLs). It allows a PL, or a datagram application that uses a PL, to discover whether a network path can support the current size of datagram. This can be used to detect and reduce the message size when a sender encounters a packet black hole. It can also probe a network path to discover whether the maximum packet size can be increased. This provides functionality for datagram transports that is equivalent to the PLPMTUD specification for TCP, specified in RFC 4821, which it updates. It also updates the UDP Usage Guidelines to refer to this method for use with UDP datagrams and updates SCTP.

The document provides implementation notes for incorporating DatagramPMTUD into IETF datagram transports or applications that use datagram transports.

This specification updates RFC 4960, RFC 4821, RFC 6951, RFC 8085, and RFC 8261.

RFC 8910 Captive-Portal Identification in DHCP and Router Advertisements (RAs)
 
Authors:W. Kumari, E. Kline.
Date:September 2020
Formats:txt html xml pdf json
Obsoletes:RFC 7710
Updates:RFC 3679
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8910
In many environments offering short-term or temporary Internet access(such as coffee shops), it is common to start new connections in a captive portal mode. This highly restricts what the user can do until the user has satisfied the captive portal conditions.

This document describes a DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 option and a RouterAdvertisement (RA) option to inform clients that they are behind some sort of captive portal enforcement device, and that they will need to satisfy the Captive Portal conditions to get Internet access. It is not a full solution to address all of the issues that clients may have with captive portals; it is designed to be one component of a standardized approach for hosts to interact with such portals. While this document defines how the network operator may convey the captive portal API endpoint to hosts, the specific methods of satisfying and interacting with the captive portal are out of scope of this document.

This document replaces RFC 7710, which used DHCP code point 160. Due to a conflict, this document specifies 114. Consequently, this document also updates RFC 3679.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8918
The key to the extensibility of the Intermediate System toIntermediate System (IS-IS) protocol has been the handling of unsupported and/or invalid Type-Length-Value (TLV) tuples. Although there are explicit statements in existing specifications, deployment experience has shown that there are inconsistencies in the behavior when a TLV that is disallowed in a particular Protocol Data Unit(PDU) is received.

This document discusses such cases and makes the correct behavior explicit in order to ensure that interoperability is maximized.

This document updates RFCs 5305 and 6232.

Updates:RFC 8505
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8928
This document updates the IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal AreaNetwork (6LoWPAN) Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol defined in RFCs6775 and 8505. The new extension is called Address-ProtectedNeighbor Discovery (AP-ND), and it protects the owner of an address against address theft and impersonation attacks in a Low-Power andLossy Network (LLN). Nodes supporting this extension compute a cryptographic identifier (Crypto-ID), and use it with one or more of their Registered Addresses. The Crypto-ID identifies the owner of the Registered Address and can be used to provide proof of ownership of the Registered Addresses. Once an address is registered with theCrypto-ID and a proof of ownership is provided, only the owner of that address can modify the registration information, thereby enforcing Source Address Validation.

RFC 8943 Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) Tags for Date
 
Authors:M. Jones, A. Nadalin, J. Richter.
Date:November 2020
Formats:txt xml html pdf json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8943
The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR), as specified in RFC7049, is a data format whose design goals include the possibility of extremely small code size, fairly small message size, and extensibility without the need for version negotiation.

In CBOR, one point of extensibility is the definition of CBOR tags.RFC 7049 defines two tags for time: CBOR tag 0 (date/time string as per RFC 3339) and tag 1 (POSIX "seconds since the epoch"). Since then, additional requirements have become known. This specification defines a CBOR tag for a date text string (as per RFC 3339) for applications needing a textual date representation within theGregorian calendar without a time. It also defines a CBOR tag for days since the date 1970-01-01 in the Gregorian calendar for applications needing a numeric date representation without a time.This specification is the reference document for IANA registration of the CBOR tags defined.

RFC 8947 Link-Layer Address Assignment Mechanism for DHCPv6
 
Authors:B. Volz, T. Mrugalski, C. Bernardos.
Date:December 2020
Formats:txt html pdf json xml
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8947
In certain environments, e.g., large-scale virtualization deployments, new devices are created in an automated manner. Such devices may have their link-layer addresses assigned in an automated fashion. With sufficient scale, the likelihood of a collision using random assignment without duplication detection is not acceptable.Therefore, an allocation mechanism is required. This document proposes an extension to DHCPv6 that allows a scalable approach to link-layer address assignments where preassigned link-layer address assignments (such as by a manufacturer) are not possible or are unnecessary.
 
RFC 8948 Structured Local Address Plan (SLAP) Quadrant Selection Option for DHCPv6
 
Authors:CJ. Bernardos, A. Mourad.
Date:December 2020
Formats:txt json html pdf xml
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8948
The IEEE originally structured the 48-bit Media Access Control (MAC) address space in such a way that half of it was reserved for local use. In 2017, the IEEE published a new standard (IEEE Std 802c) with a new optional Structured Local Address Plan (SLAP). It specifies different assignment approaches in four specified regions of the local MAC address space.

The IEEE is developing protocols to assign addresses (IEEE P802.1CQ).There is also work in the IETF on specifying a new mechanism that extends DHCPv6 operation to handle the local MAC address assignments.

This document proposes extensions to DHCPv6 protocols to enable aDHCPv6 client or a DHCPv6 relay to indicate a preferred SLAP quadrant to the server so that the server may allocate MAC addresses in the quadrant requested by the relay or client. A new DHCPv6 option(QUAD) is defined for this purpose.

 
RFC 8950 Advertising IPv4 Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) with an IPv6 Next Hop
 
Authors:S. Litkowski, S. Agrawal, K. Ananthamurthy, K. Patel.

Formats:txt json xml html pdf
Obsoletes:RFC 5549
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8950
Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) specifies that the set of usable next-hop address families is determined by the Address Family Identifier (AFI) and the Subsequent Address Family Identifier (SAFI). The AFI/SAFI definitions for the IPv4 address family only have provisions for advertising a next-hop address that belongs to the IPv4 protocol when advertising IPv4 Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) orVPN-IPv4 NLRI.

This document specifies the extensions necessary to allow the advertising of IPv4 NLRI or VPN-IPv4 NLRI with a next-hop address that belongs to the IPv6 protocol. This comprises an extension of the AFI/SAFI definitions to allow the address of the next hop forIPv4 NLRI or VPN-IPv4 NLRI to also belong to the IPv6 protocol, the encoding of the next hop to determine which of the protocols the address actually belongs to, and a BGP Capability allowing MP-BGP peers to dynamically discover whether they can exchange IPv4 NLRI andVPN-IPv4 NLRI with an IPv6 next hop. This document obsoletes RFC5549.

RFC 8976 Message Digest for DNS Zones
 
Authors:D. Wessels, P. Barber, M. Weinberg, W. Kumari, W. Hardaker.
Date:February 2021
Formats:txt html xml pdf json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8976
This document describes a protocol and new DNS Resource Record that provides a cryptographic message digest over DNS zone data at rest.The ZONEMD Resource Record conveys the digest data in the zone itself. When used in combination with DNSSEC, ZONEMD allows recipients to verify the zone contents for data integrity and origin authenticity. This provides assurance that received zone data matches published data, regardless of how the zone data has been transmitted and received. When used without DNSSEC, ZONEMD functions as a checksum, guarding only against unintentional changes.

ZONEMD does not replace DNSSEC: DNSSEC protects individual RRsets(DNS data with fine granularity), whereas ZONEMD protects a zone's data as a whole, whether consumed by authoritative name servers, recursive name servers, or any other applications.

As specified herein, ZONEMD is impractical for large, dynamic zones due to the time and resources required for digest calculation.However, the ZONEMD record is extensible so that new digest schemes may be added in the future to support large, dynamic zones.

Date:February 2021
Formats:txt json xml pdf html
Obsoletes:RFC 4941
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8981
This document describes an extension to IPv6 Stateless AddressAutoconfiguration that causes hosts to generate temporary addresses with randomized interface identifiers for each prefix advertised with autoconfiguration enabled. Changing addresses over time limits the window of time during which eavesdroppers and other information collectors may trivially perform address-based network-activity correlation when the same address is employed for multiple transactions by the same host. Additionally, it reduces the window of exposure of a host as being accessible via an address that becomes revealed as a result of active communication. This document obsoletes RFC 4941.

It aims to be an alternative and, over time, successor to the widely deployed iCalendar data format. It also aims to be unambiguous, extendable, and simple to process. In contrast to the jCal format, which is also based onJSON, JSCalendar is not a direct mapping from iCalendar but defines the data model independently and expands semantics where appropriate.
 
RFC 8985 The RACK-TLP Loss Detection Algorithm for TCP
 
Authors:Y. Cheng, N. Cardwell, N. Dukkipati, P. Jha.
Date:February 2021
Formats:txt json pdf xml html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8985
This document presents the RACK-TLP loss detection algorithm for TCP.RACK-TLP uses per-segment transmit timestamps and selective acknowledgments (SACKs) and has two parts. Recent Acknowledgment(RACK) starts fast recovery quickly using time-based inferences derived from acknowledgment (ACK) feedback, and Tail Loss Probe (TLP) leverages RACK and sends a probe packet to trigger ACK feedback to avoid retransmission timeout (RTO) events. Compared to the widely used duplicate acknowledgment (DupAck) threshold approach, RACK-TLP detects losses more efficiently when there are application-limited flights of data, lost retransmissions, or data packet reordering events. It is intended to be an alternative to the DupAck threshold approach.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 8995
This document specifies automated bootstrapping of an AutonomicControl Plane. To do this, a Secure Key Infrastructure is bootstrapped. This is done using manufacturer-installed X.509 certificates, in combination with a manufacturer's authorizing service, both online and offline. We call this process theBootstrapping Remote Secure Key Infrastructure (BRSKI) protocol.Bootstrapping a new device can occur when using a routable address and a cloud service, only link-local connectivity, or limited/ disconnected networks. Support for deployment models with less stringent security requirements is included. Bootstrapping is complete when the cryptographic identity of the new key infrastructure is successfully deployed to the device. The established secure connection can be used to deploy a locally issued certificate to the device as well.

RFC 9015 BGP Control Plane for the Network Service Header in Service Function Chaining
 
Authors:A. Farrel, J. Drake, E. Rosen, J. Uttaro, L. Jalil.
Date:June 2021
Formats:txt html xml pdf json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9015
This document describes the use of BGP as a control plane for networks that support service function chaining. The document introduces a new BGP address family called the "Service FunctionChain (SFC) Address Family Identifier / Subsequent Address FamilyIdentifier" (SFC AFI/SAFI) with two Route Types. One Route Type is originated by a node to advertise that it hosts a particular instance of a specified service function. This Route Type also provides"instructions" on how to send a packet to the hosting node in a way that indicates that the service function has to be applied to the packet. The other Route Type is used by a controller to advertise the paths of "chains" of service functions and give a unique designator to each such path so that they can be used in conjunction with the Network Service Header (NSH) defined in RFC 8300.

This document adopts the service function chaining architecture described in RFC 7665.

RFC 9031 Constrained Join Protocol (CoJP) for 6TiSCH
 
Authors:M. Vučinić, Ed., J. Simon, K. Pister, M. Richardson.
Date:May 2021
Formats:txt html pdf xml json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9031
This document describes the minimal framework required for a new device, called a "pledge", to securely join a 6TiSCH (IPv6 over theTime-Slotted Channel Hopping mode of IEEE 802.15.4) network. The framework requires that the pledge and the JRC (Join Registrar/Coordinator, a central entity), share a symmetric key. How this key is provisioned is out of scope of this document. Through a singleCoAP (Constrained Application Protocol) request-response exchange secured by OSCORE (Object Security for Constrained RESTfulEnvironments), the pledge requests admission into the network, and the JRC configures it with link-layer keying material and other parameters. The JRC may at any time update the parameters through another request-response exchange secured by OSCORE. This specification defines the Constrained Join Protocol and its CBOR(Concise Binary Object Representation) data structures, and it describes how to configure the rest of the 6TiSCH communication stack for this join process to occur in a secure manner. Additional security mechanisms may be added on top of this minimal framework.

Formats:txt json html pdf xml
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9050
The Path Computation Element (PCE) is a core component of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) systems.

A PCE as a Central Controller (PCECC) can simplify the processing of a distributed control plane by blending it with elements of SDN and without necessarily completely replacing it. Thus, the LabelSwitched Path (LSP) can be calculated/set up/initiated and the label- forwarding entries can also be downloaded through a centralized PCE server to each network device along the path while leveraging the existing PCE technologies as much as possible.

This document specifies the procedures and Path Computation ElementCommunication Protocol (PCEP) extensions for using the PCE as the central controller for provisioning labels along the path of the static LSP.

Formats:txt xml pdf json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9061
This document describes how to provide IPsec-based flow protection(integrity and confidentiality) by means of an Interface to NetworkSecurity Function (I2NSF) Controller. It considers two main well- known scenarios in IPsec: gateway-to-gateway and host-to-host. The service described in this document allows the configuration and monitoring of IPsec Security Associations (IPsec SAs) from an I2NSFController to one or several flow-based Network Security Functions(NSFs) that rely on IPsec to protect data traffic.

This document focuses on the I2NSF NSF-Facing Interface by providingYANG data models for configuring the IPsec databases, namely SecurityPolicy Database (SPD), Security Association Database (SAD), PeerAuthorization Database (PAD), and Internet Key Exchange Version 2(IKEv2). This allows IPsec SA establishment with minimal intervention by the network administrator. This document defines three YANG modules, but it does not define any new protocol.

RFC 9071 RTP-Mixer Formatting of Multiparty Real-Time Text
 
Authors:G. Hellström.
Date:July 2021
Formats:txt pdf json xml html
Updates:RFC 4103
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9071
This document provides enhancements of real-time text (as specified in RFC 4103) suitable for mixing in a centralized conference model, enabling source identification and rapidly interleaved transmission of text from different sources. The intended use is for real-time text mixers and participant endpoints capable of providing an efficient presentation or other treatment of a multiparty real-time text session. The specified mechanism builds on the standard use of the Contributing Source (CSRC) list in the Real-time TransportProtocol (RTP) packet for source identification. The method makes use of the same "text/t140" and "text/red" formats as for two-party sessions.

Solutions using multiple RTP streams in the same RTP session are briefly mentioned, as they could have some benefits over the RTP- mixer model. The RTP-mixer model was selected to be used for the fully specified solution in this document because it can be applied to a wide range of existing RTP implementations.

A capability exchange is specified so that it can be verified that a mixer and a participant can handle the multiparty-coded real-time text stream using the RTP-mixer method. The capability is indicated by the use of a Session Description Protocol (SDP) (RFC 8866) media attribute, "rtt-mixer".

This document updates RFC 4103 ("RTP Payload for Text Conversation").

A specification for how a mixer can format text for the case when the endpoint is not multiparty aware is also provided.

RFC 9101 The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework: JWT-Secured Authorization Request (JAR)
 
Authors:N. Sakimura, J. Bradley, M. Jones.
Date:August 2021
Formats:txt json html pdf xml
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9101
The authorization request in OAuth 2.0 described in RFC 6749 utilizes query parameter serialization, which means that authorization request parameters are encoded in the URI of the request and sent through user agents such as web browsers. While it is easy to implement, it means that a) the communication through the user agents is not integrity protected and thus, the parameters can be tainted, b) the source of the communication is not authenticated, and c) the communication through the user agents can be monitored. Because of these weaknesses, several attacks to the protocol have now been put forward.

This document introduces the ability to send request parameters in aJSON Web Token (JWT) instead, which allows the request to be signed with JSON Web Signature (JWS) and encrypted with JSON Web Encryption(JWE) so that the integrity, source authentication, and confidentiality properties of the authorization request are attained.The request can be sent by value or by reference.

DNS zone transfers are transmitted in cleartext, which gives attackers the opportunity to collect the content of a zone by eavesdropping on network connections. The DNS Transaction Signature(TSIG) mechanism is specified to restrict direct zone transfer to authorized clients only, but it does not add confidentiality. This document specifies the use of TLS, rather than cleartext, to prevent zone content collection via passive monitoring of zone transfers: XFR over TLS (XoT). Additionally, this specification updates RFC 1995 and RFC 5936 with respect to efficient use of TCP connections and RFC7766 with respect to the recommended number of connections between a client and server for each transport.

Formats:txt html pdf xml json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9107
This document defines an extension to BGP route reflectors. On route reflectors, BGP route selection is modified in order to choose the best route from the standpoint of their clients, rather than from the standpoint of the route reflectors themselves. Depending on the scaling and precision requirements, route selection can be specific for one client, common for a set of clients, or common for all clients of a route reflector. This solution is particularly applicable in deployments using centralized route reflectors, where choosing the best route based on the route reflector's IGP location is suboptimal. This facilitates, for example, a "best exit point" policy ("hot potato routing").

The solution relies upon all route reflectors learning all paths that are eligible for consideration. BGP route selection is performed in the route reflectors based on the IGP cost from configured locations in the link-state IGP.

Updates:RFC 5905
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9109
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) can operate in several modes. Some of these modes are based on the receipt of unsolicited packets and therefore require the use of a well-known port as the local port.However, in the case of NTP modes where the use of a well-known port is not required, employing such a well-known port unnecessarily facilitates the ability of attackers to perform blind/off-path attacks. This document formally updates RFC 5905, recommending the use of transport-protocol ephemeral port randomization for those modes where use of the NTP well-known port is not required.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9115
This document defines a profile of the Automatic CertificateManagement Environment (ACME) protocol by which the holder of an identifier (e.g., a domain name) can allow a third party to obtain anX.509 certificate such that the certificate subject is the delegated identifier while the certified public key corresponds to a private key controlled by the third party. A primary use case is that of aContent Delivery Network (CDN), the third party, terminating TLS sessions on behalf of a content provider (the holder of a domain name). The presented mechanism allows the holder of the identifier to retain control over the delegation and revoke it at any time.Importantly, this mechanism does not require any modification to the deployed TLS clients and servers.
 
RFC 9117 Revised Validation Procedure for BGP Flow Specifications
 
Authors:J. Uttaro, J. Alcaide, C. Filsfils, D. Smith, P. Mohapatra.
Date:August 2021
Formats:txt html json xml pdf
Updates:RFC 8955
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9117
This document describes a modification to the validation procedure defined for the dissemination of BGP Flow Specifications. The dissemination of BGP Flow Specifications as specified in RFC 8955 requires that the originator of the Flow Specification match the originator of the best-match unicast route for the destination prefix embedded in the Flow Specification. For an Internal Border GatewayProtocol (iBGP) received route, the originator is typically a border router within the same autonomous system (AS). The objective is to allow only BGP speakers within the data forwarding path to originateBGP Flow Specifications. Sometimes it is desirable to originate theBGP Flow Specification from any place within the autonomous system itself, for example, from a centralized BGP route controller.However, the validation procedure described in RFC 8955 will fail in this scenario. The modification proposed herein relaxes the validation rule to enable Flow Specifications to be originated within the same autonomous system as the BGP speaker performing the validation. Additionally, this document revises the AS_PATH validation rules so Flow Specifications received from an ExternalBorder Gateway Protocol (eBGP) peer can be validated when such a peer is a BGP route server.

This document updates the validation procedure in RFC 8955.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 9118
RFC 8226 specifies the use of certificates for Secure TelephoneIdentity Credentials; these certificates are often called "SecureTelephone Identity Revisited (STIR) Certificates". RFC 8226 provides a certificate extension to constrain the JSON Web Token (JWT) claims that can be included in the Personal Assertion Token (PASSporT), as defined in RFC 8225. If the PASSporT signer includes a JWT claim outside the constraint boundaries, then the PASSporT recipient will reject the entire PASSporT. This document updates RFC 8226; it provides all of the capabilities available in the original certificate extension as well as an additional way to constrain the allowable JWT claims. The enhanced extension can also provide a list of claims that are not allowed to be included in the PASSporT.

Data centers are attached to the Internet or a backbone network by gateway routers. One data center typically has more than one gateway for commercial, load-balancing, and resiliency reasons. Other sites, such as access networks, also need to be connected across backbone networks through gateways.

This document defines a mechanism using the BGP Tunnel Encapsulation attribute to allow data center gateway routers to advertise routes to the prefixes reachable in the site, including advertising them on behalf of other gateways at the same site. This allows segment routing to be used to identify multiple paths across the Internet or backbone network between different gateways. The paths can be selected for load-balancing, resilience, and quality purposes.

Particularly, this extension allows a DOTS client to activate or deactivate existing filtering rules during a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack. The characterization of these filtering rules is conveyed by a DOTS client during an 'idle' time (i.e., no mitigation is active) by means of the DOTS data channel protocol.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9140
The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) provides support for multiple authentication methods. This document defines the EAP-NOOB authentication method for nimble out-of-band (OOB) authentication and key derivation. The EAP method is intended for bootstrapping all kinds of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that have no preconfigured authentication credentials. The method makes use of a user-assisted, one-directional, out-of-band (OOB) message between the peer device and authentication server to authenticate the in-band key exchange.The device must have a nonnetwork input or output interface, such as a display, microphone, speaker, or blinking light, that can send or receive dynamically generated messages of tens of bytes in length.

RFC 9146 Connection Identifier for DTLS 1.2
 
Authors:E. Rescorla, Ed., H. Tschofenig, Ed., T. Fossati, A. Kraus.
Date:March 2022
Formats:txt json html pdf xml
Updates:RFC 6347
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9146
This document specifies the Connection ID (CID) construct for theDatagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol version 1.2.

A CID is an identifier carried in the record layer header that gives the recipient additional information for selecting the appropriate security association. In "classical" DTLS, selecting a security association of an incoming DTLS record is accomplished with the help of the 5-tuple. If the source IP address and/or source port changes during the lifetime of an ongoing DTLS session, then the receiver will be unable to locate the correct security context.

The new ciphertext record format with the CID also provides content type encryption and record layer padding.

This document updates RFC 6347.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 9149
TLS session tickets enable stateless connection resumption for clients without server-side, per-client state. Servers vend an arbitrary number of session tickets to clients, at their discretion, upon connection establishment. Clients store and use tickets when resuming future connections. This document describes a mechanism by which clients can specify the desired number of tickets needed for future connections. This extension aims to provide a means for servers to determine the number of tickets to generate in order to reduce ticket waste while simultaneously priming clients for future connection attempts.
 
RFC 9154 Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) Secure Authorization Information for Transfer
 
Authors:J. Gould, R. Wilhelm.
Date:December 2021
Formats:txt pdf xml html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9154
The Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) (RFC 5730) defines the use of authorization information to authorize a transfer of an EPP object, such as a domain name, between clients that are referred to as "registrars". Object-specific, password-based authorization information (see RFCs 5731 and 5733) is commonly used but raises issues related to the security, complexity, storage, and lifetime of authentication information. This document defines an operational practice, using the EPP RFCs, that leverages the use of strong random authorization information values that are short lived, not stored by the client, and stored by the server using a cryptographic hash that provides for secure authorization information that can safely be used for object transfers.

RFC 9168 Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) Extension for Flow Specification
 
Authors:D. Dhody, A. Farrel, Z. Li.
Date:January 2022
Formats:txt pdf xml html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9168
The Path Computation Element (PCE) is a functional component capable of selecting paths through a traffic engineering (TE) network. These paths may be supplied in response to requests for computation or may be unsolicited requests issued by the PCE to network elements. Both approaches use the PCE Communication Protocol (PCEP) to convey the details of the computed path.

Traffic flows may be categorized and described using "FlowSpecifications". RFC 8955 defines the Flow Specification and describes how Flow Specification components are used to describe traffic flows. RFC 8955 also defines how Flow Specifications may be distributed in BGP to allow specific traffic flows to be associated with routes.

This document specifies a set of extensions to PCEP to support dissemination of Flow Specifications. This allows a PCE to indicate what traffic should be placed on each path that it is aware of.

The extensions defined in this document include the creation, update, and withdrawal of Flow Specifications via PCEP and can be applied to tunnels initiated by the PCE or to tunnels where control is delegated to the PCE by the Path Computation Client (PCC). Furthermore, a PCC requesting a new path can include Flow Specifications in the request to indicate the purpose of the tunnel allowing the PCE to factor this into the path computation.

Formats:txt json xml pdf html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9176
In many Internet of Things (IoT) applications, direct discovery of resources is not practical due to sleeping nodes or networks where multicast traffic is inefficient. These problems can be solved by employing an entity called a Resource Directory (RD), which contains information about resources held on other servers, allowing lookups to be performed for those resources. The input to an RD is composed of links, and the output is composed of links constructed from the information stored in the RD. This document specifies the web interfaces that an RD supports for web servers to discover the RD and to register, maintain, look up, and remove information on resources.Furthermore, new target attributes useful in conjunction with an RD are defined.

RFC 9196 YANG Modules Describing Capabilities for Systems and Datastore Update Notifications
 
Authors:B. Lengyel, A. Clemm, B. Claise.
Date:February 2022
Formats:txt json pdf xml html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9196
This document defines two YANG modules, "ietf-system-capabilities" and "ietf-notification-capabilities".

The module "ietf-system-capabilities" provides a placeholder structure that can be used to discover YANG-related system capabilities for servers. The module can be used to report capability information from the server at runtime or at implementation time by making use of the YANG instance data file format.

The module "ietf-notification-capabilities" augments "ietf-system- capabilities" to specify capabilities related to "Subscription toYANG Notifications for Datastore Updates" (RFC 8641).

RFC 9234 Route Leak Prevention and Detection Using Roles in UPDATE and OPEN Messages
 
Authors:A. Azimov, E. Bogomazov, R. Bush, K. Patel, K. Sriram.

Formats:txt html xml json pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9234
Route leaks are the propagation of BGP prefixes that violate assumptions of BGP topology relationships, e.g., announcing a route learned from one transit provider to another transit provider or a lateral (i.e., non-transit) peer or announcing a route learned from one lateral peer to another lateral peer or a transit provider.These are usually the result of misconfigured or absent BGP route filtering or lack of coordination between autonomous systems (ASes).Existing approaches to leak prevention rely on marking routes by operator configuration, with no check that the configuration corresponds to that of the External BGP (eBGP) neighbor, or enforcement of the two eBGP speakers agreeing on the peering relationship. This document enhances the BGP OPEN message to establish an agreement of the peering relationship on each eBGP session between autonomous systems in order to enforce appropriate configuration on both sides. Propagated routes are then marked according to the agreed relationship, allowing both prevention and detection of route leaks.
 
RFC 9237 An Authorization Information Format (AIF) for Authentication and Authorization for Constrained Environments (ACE)

RFC 9240 An Extension for Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO): Entity Property Maps
 
Authors:W. Roome, S. Randriamasy, Y. Yang, J. Zhang, K. Gao.
Date:July 2022
Formats:txt json html xml pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9240
This document specifies an extension to the base Application-LayerTraffic Optimization (ALTO) Protocol that generalizes the concept of"endpoint properties", which have been tied to IP addresses so far, to entities defined by a wide set of objects. Further, these properties are presented as maps, similar to the network and cost maps in the base ALTO Protocol. While supporting the endpoints and related Endpoint Property Service defined in RFC 7285, the ALTOProtocol is extended in two major directions. First, from endpoints restricted to IP addresses to entities covering a wider and extensible set of objects; second, from properties for specific endpoints to entire entity property maps. These extensions introduce additional features that allow entities and property values to be specific to a given information resource. This is made possible by a generic and flexible design of entity and property types.

RFC 9242 Intermediate Exchange in the Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2 (IKEv2)
 
Authors:V. Smyslov.
Date:May 2022
Formats:txt pdf xml html json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9242
This document defines a new exchange, called "Intermediate Exchange", for the Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2 (IKEv2). This exchange can be used for transferring large amounts of data in the process of IKEv2 Security Association (SA) establishment. An example of the need to do this is using key exchange methods resistant toQuantum Computers (QCs) for IKE SA establishment. The IntermediateExchange makes it possible to use the existing IKE fragmentation mechanism (which cannot be used in the initial IKEv2 exchange), helping to avoid IP fragmentation of large IKE messages if they need to be sent before IKEv2 SA is established.

Formats:txt json xml html pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9248
Video Relay Service (VRS) is a term used to describe a method by which a hearing person can communicate with a sign language speaker who is deaf, deafblind, or hard of hearing (HoH) or has a speech disability using an interpreter (i.e., a Communications Assistant(CA)) connected via a videophone to the sign language speaker and an audio telephone call to the hearing user. The CA interprets using sign language on the videophone link and voice on the telephone link.Often the interpreters may be employed by a company or agency, termed a "provider" in this document. The provider also provides a video service that allows users to connect video devices to their service and subsequently to CAs and other sign language speakers. It is desirable that the videophones used by the sign language speaker conform to a standard so that any device may be used with any provider and that direct video calls between sign language speakers work. This document describes the interface between a videophone and a provider.

Formats:txt html json pdf xml
Updates:RFC 8402
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9256
Segment Routing (SR) allows a node to steer a packet flow along any path. Intermediate per-path states are eliminated thanks to source routing. SR Policy is an ordered list of segments (i.e., instructions) that represent a source-routed policy. Packet flows are steered into an SR Policy on a node where it is instantiated called a headend node. The packets steered into an SR Policy carry an ordered list of segments associated with that SR Policy.

This document updates RFC 8402 as it details the concepts of SRPolicy and steering into an SR Policy.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9260
This document describes the Stream Control Transmission Protocol(SCTP) and obsoletes RFC 4960. It incorporates the specification of the chunk flags registry from RFC 6096 and the specification of the I bit of DATA chunks from RFC 7053. Therefore, RFCs 6096 and 7053 are also obsoleted by this document. In addition, RFCs 4460 and 8540, which describe errata for SCTP, are obsoleted by this document.

SCTP was originally designed to transport Public Switched TelephoneNetwork (PSTN) signaling messages over IP networks. It is also suited to be used for other applications, for example, WebRTC.

SCTP is a reliable transport protocol operating on top of a connectionless packet network, such as IP. It offers the following services to its users:

* acknowledged error-free, non-duplicated transfer of user data,

* data fragmentation to conform to discovered Path MaximumTransmission Unit (PMTU) size,

* sequenced delivery of user messages within multiple streams, with an option for order-of-arrival delivery of individual user messages,

* optional bundling of multiple user messages into a single SCTP packet, and

* network-level fault tolerance through supporting of multi-homing at either or both ends of an association.

The design of SCTP includes appropriate congestion avoidance behavior and resistance to flooding and masquerade attacks.

Authors:T. Eckert, Ed., M. Menth, G. Cauchie.
Date:October 2022
Formats:txt html pdf xml json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9262
This memo describes per-packet stateless strict and loose path steered replication and forwarding for "Bit Index ExplicitReplication" (BIER) packets (RFC 8279); it is called "TreeEngineering for Bit Index Explicit Replication" (BIER-TE) and is intended to be used as the path steering mechanism for TrafficEngineering with BIER.

BIER-TE introduces a new semantic for "bit positions" (BPs). TheseBPs indicate adjacencies of the network topology, as opposed to (non-TE) BIER in which BPs indicate "Bit-Forwarding Egress Routers"(BFERs). A BIER-TE "packets BitString" therefore indicates the edges of the (loop-free) tree across which the packets are forwarded byBIER-TE. BIER-TE can leverage BIER forwarding engines with little changes. Co-existence of BIER and BIER-TE forwarding in the same domain is possible -- for example, by using separate BIER"subdomains" (SDs). Except for the optional routed adjacencies,BIER-TE does not require a BIER routing underlay and can therefore operate without depending on a routing protocol such as the "InteriorGateway Protocol" (IGP).

Obsoletes:RFC 6486
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9286
This document defines a "manifest" for use in the Resource Public KeyInfrastructure (RPKI). A manifest is a signed object (file) that contains a listing of all the signed objects (files) in the repository publication point (directory) associated with an authority responsible for publishing in the repository. For each certificate,Certificate Revocation List (CRL), or other type of signed objects issued by the authority that are published at this repository publication point, the manifest contains both the name of the file containing the object and a hash of the file content. Manifests are intended to enable a relying party (RP) to detect certain forms of attacks against a repository. Specifically, if an RP checks a manifest's contents against the signed objects retrieved from a repository publication point, then the RP can detect replay attacks, and unauthorized in-flight modification or deletion of signed objects. This document obsoletes RFC 6486.

RFC 9300 The Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP)
 
Authors:D. Farinacci, V. Fuller, D. Meyer, D. Lewis, A. Cabellos, Ed..
Date:October 2022
Formats:txt json pdf xml html
Obsoletes:RFC 6830
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9300
This document describes the data plane protocol for the Locator/IDSeparation Protocol (LISP). LISP defines two namespaces: EndpointIdentifiers (EIDs), which identify end hosts; and Routing Locators(RLOCs), which identify network attachment points. With this, LISP effectively separates control from data and allows routers to create overlay networks. LISP-capable routers exchange encapsulated packets according to EID-to-RLOC mappings stored in a local Map-Cache.

LISP requires no change to either host protocol stacks or underlay routers and offers Traffic Engineering (TE), multihoming, and mobility, among other features.

This document obsoletes RFC 6830.

Obsoletes:RFC 6830, RFC 6833
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9301
This document describes the control plane and Mapping Service for theLocator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP), implemented by two types ofLISP-speaking devices -- the LISP Map-Resolver and LISP Map-Server -- that provide a simplified "front end" for one or more Endpoint IDs(EIDs) to Routing Locator mapping databases.

By using this control plane service interface and communicating withMap-Resolvers and Map-Servers, LISP Ingress Tunnel Routers (ITRs) andEgress Tunnel Routers (ETRs) are not dependent on the details of mapping database systems; this behavior facilitates modularity with different database designs. Since these devices implement the "edge" of the LISP control plane infrastructure, connecting EID addressable nodes of a LISP site, the implementation and operational complexity of the overall cost and effort of deploying LISP is reduced.

This document obsoletes RFCs 6830 and 6833.

 
RFC 9302 Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) Map-Versioning

Date:October 2022
Formats:txt html xml pdf json
Obsoletes:RFC 6834
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9302
This document describes the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP)Map-Versioning mechanism, which provides in-packet information aboutEndpoint-ID-to-Routing-Locator (EID-to-RLOC) mappings used to encapsulate LISP data packets. This approach is based on associating a version number to EID-to-RLOC mappings and transporting such a version number in the LISP-specific header of LISP-encapsulated packets. LISP Map-Versioning is particularly useful to inform communicating Ingress Tunnel Routers (ITRs) and Egress Tunnel Routers(ETRs) about modifications of the mappings used to encapsulate packets. The mechanism is optional and transparent to implementations not supporting this feature, since in the LISP- specific header and in the Map Records, bits used for Map-Versioning can be safely ignored by ITRs and ETRs that do not support or do not want to use the mechanism.

This document obsoletes RFC 6834, which is the initial experimental specifications of the mechanisms updated by this document.

Updates:RFC 3711
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9335
While the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) provides confidentiality for the contents of a media packet, a significant amount of metadata is left unprotected, including RTP header extensions and contributing sources (CSRCs). However, this data can be moderately sensitive in many applications. While there have been previous attempts to protect this data, they have had limited deployment, due to complexity as well as technical limitations.

This document updates RFC 3711, the SRTP specification, and definesCryptex as a new mechanism that completely encrypts header extensions and CSRCs and uses simpler Session Description Protocol (SDP) signaling with the goal of facilitating deployment.

This document describes a mechanism to overcome some of these limitations by enabling operators to delegate their own credentials for use in TLS and DTLS without breaking compatibility with peers that do not support this specification.
 
RFC 9346 IS-IS Extensions in Support of Inter-Autonomous System (AS) MPLS and GMPLS Traffic Engineering

RFC 9347 Aggregation and Fragmentation Mode for Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) and Its Use for IP Traffic Flow Security (IP-TFS)
 
Authors:C. Hopps.
Date:January 2023
Formats:txt json html pdf xml
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9347
This document describes a mechanism for aggregation and fragmentation of IP packets when they are being encapsulated in EncapsulatingSecurity Payload (ESP). This new payload type can be used for various purposes, such as decreasing encapsulation overhead for smallIP packets; however, the focus in this document is to enhance IPTraffic Flow Security (IP-TFS) by adding Traffic Flow Confidentiality(TFC) to encrypted IP-encapsulated traffic. TFC is provided by obscuring the size and frequency of IP traffic using a fixed-size, constant-send-rate IPsec tunnel. The solution allows for congestion control, as well as nonconstant send-rate usage.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9350
IGP protocols historically compute the best paths over the network based on the IGP metric assigned to the links. Many network deployments use RSVP-TE or Segment Routing - Traffic Engineering (SR-TE) to steer traffic over a path that is computed using different metrics or constraints than the shortest IGP path. This document specifies a solution that allows IGPs themselves to compute constraint-based paths over the network. This document also specifies a way of using Segment Routing (SR) Prefix-SIDs and SRv6 locators to steer packets along the constraint-based paths.
 
RFC 9351 Border Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) Extensions for Flexible Algorithm Advertisement
 
Authors:K. Talaulikar, Ed., P. Psenak, S. Zandi, G. Dawra.
Date:February 2023
Formats:txt html xml pdf json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9351
Flexible Algorithm is a solution that allows some routing protocols(e.g., OSPF and IS-IS) to compute paths over a network based on user- defined (and hence, flexible) constraints and metrics. The computation is performed by routers participating in the specific network in a distributed manner using a Flexible Algorithm Definition(FAD). This definition is provisioned on one or more routers and propagated through the network by OSPF and IS-IS flooding.

Border Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) enables the collection of various topology information from the network. This document defines extensions to the BGP-LS address family to advertise the FAD as a part of the topology information from the network.

Updates:RFC 5088, RFC 5089, RFC 8231, RFC 8306
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9353
When a Path Computation Element (PCE) is a Label Switching Router(LSR) or a server participating in the Interior Gateway Protocol(IGP), its presence and path computation capabilities can be advertised using IGP flooding. The IGP extensions for PCE Discovery(PCED) (RFCs 5088 and 5089) define a method to advertise path computation capabilities using IGP flooding for OSPF and IS-IS, respectively. However, these specifications lack a method to advertise Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) security (e.g., Transport Layer Security (TLS) and TCP AuthenticationOption (TCP-AO)) support capability.

This document defines capability flag bits for the PCE-CAP-FLAGS sub-TLV that can be announced as an attribute in the IGP advertisement to distribute PCEP security support information. In addition, this document updates RFCs 5088 and 5089 to allow advertisement of a KeyID or KEY-CHAIN-NAME sub-TLV to support TCP-AO security capability.This document also updates RFCs 8231 and 8306.

Power Line Communication (PLC), namely using electric power lines for indoor and outdoor communications, has been widely applied to supportAdvanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), especially smart meters for electricity. The existing electricity infrastructure facilitates the expansion of PLC deployments due to its potential advantages in terms of cost and convenience. Moreover, a wide variety of accessible devices raises the potential demand of IPv6 for future applications.This document describes how IPv6 packets are transported over constrained PLC networks, such as those described in ITU-T G.9903,IEEE 1901.1, and IEEE 1901.2.
 
RFC 9355 OSPF Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) Strict-Mode
 
Authors:K. Talaulikar, Ed., P. Psenak, A. Fu, M. Rajesh.
Date:February 2023
Formats:txt pdf xml html json
Updates:RFC 2328
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9355
This document specifies the extensions to OSPF that enable an OSPF router to signal the requirement for a Bidirectional ForwardingDetection (BFD) session prior to adjacency formation. Link-LocalSignaling (LLS) is used to advertise the requirement for strict-modeBFD session establishment for an OSPF adjacency. If both OSPF neighbors advertise BFD strict-mode, adjacency formation will be blocked until a BFD session has been successfully established.

This document updates RFC 2328 by augmenting the OSPF neighbor state machine with a check for BFD session up before progression from Init to 2-Way state when operating in OSPF BFD strict-mode.

 
RFC 9356 Advertising Layer 2 Bundle Member Link Attributes in OSPF

Date:January 2023
Formats:txt json html xml pdf
Updates:RFC 9085
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9356
There are deployments where the Layer 3 (L3) interface on which OSPF operates is a Layer 2 (L2) interface bundle. Existing OSPF advertisements only support advertising link attributes of the L3 interface. If entities external to OSPF wish to control traffic flows on the individual physical links that comprise the L2 interface bundle, link attribute information for the bundle members is required.

This document defines the protocol extensions for OSPF to advertise the link attributes of L2 bundle members. The document also specifies the advertisement of these OSPF extensions via the BorderGateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) and thereby updates RFC 9085.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9370
This document describes how to extend the Internet Key ExchangeProtocol Version 2 (IKEv2) to allow multiple key exchanges to take place while computing a shared secret during a Security Association(SA) setup.

This document utilizes the IKE_INTERMEDIATE exchange, where multiple key exchanges are performed when an IKE SA is being established. It also introduces a new IKEv2 exchange, IKE_FOLLOWUP_KE, which is used for the same purpose when the IKE SA is being rekeyed or is creating additional Child SAs.

This document updates RFC 7296 by renaming a Transform Type 4 from"Diffie-Hellman Group (D-H)" to "Key Exchange Method (KE)" and renaming a field in the Key Exchange Payload from "Diffie-HellmanGroup Num" to "Key Exchange Method". It also renames an IANA registry for this Transform Type from "Transform Type 4 - Diffie-Hellman Group Transform IDs" to "Transform Type 4 - Key ExchangeMethod Transform IDs". These changes generalize key exchange algorithms that can be used in IKEv2.

The Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol (RFC 5880) is used to detect loss of connectivity between two forwarding engines, typically with low latency. BFD is leveraged by routing protocols, including the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), to bring down routing protocol connections more quickly than the original protocol timers.

This document defines a subcode for the BGP Cease NOTIFICATION message (Section 6.7 of RFC 4271) for use when a BGP connection is being closed due to a BFD session going down.

 
RFC 9388 Content Delivery Network Interconnection (CDNI) Footprint Types: Country Subdivision Code and Footprint Union
 
Authors:N. Sopher, S. Mishra.
Date:July 2023
Formats:txt html json xml pdf
Updates:RFC 8008
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9388
Open Caching architecture is a use case of Content Delivery NetworkInterconnection (CDNI) in which the commercial Content DeliveryNetwork (CDN) is the upstream CDN (uCDN) and the ISP caching layer serves as the downstream CDN (dCDN). RFC 8006 defines footprint types that are used for footprint objects as part of the Metadata interface (MI). The footprint types are also used for the Footprint& Capabilities Advertisement interface (FCI) as defined in RFC 8008.This document defines two new footprint types. The first footprint type defined is an ISO 3166-2 country subdivision code. Defining this country subdivision code improves granularity for delegation as compared to the ISO 3166-1 country code footprint type defined in RFC8006. The ISO 3166-2 country subdivision code is also added as a new entity domain type in the "ALTO Entity Domain Types" registry defined in Section 7.4 of RFC 9241. The second footprint type defines a footprint union to aggregate footprint objects. This allows for additive semantics over the narrowing semantics defined in Appendix B of RFC 8008 and therefore updates RFC 8008. The two new footprint types are based on the requirements raised by Open Caching but are also applicable to CDNI use cases in general.
 
RFC 9390 Diameter Group Signaling
 
Authors:M. Jones, M. Liebsch, L. Morand.
Date:April 2023
Formats:txt html pdf json xml
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9390
In large network deployments, a single Diameter node can support over a million concurrent Diameter sessions. In some use cases, Diameter nodes need to apply the same operation to a large group of Diameter sessions concurrently. The Diameter base protocol commands operate on a single session so these use cases can result in many thousands of command exchanges enforcing the same operation on each session in the group. In order to reduce signaling, it is desirable to enable bulk operations on all (or part of) the sessions managed by aDiameter node using a single or a few command exchanges. This document specifies the Diameter protocol extensions to achieve this signaling optimization.

This document extends the current error-handling procedures for mapping of verification failure reasons to 4xx codes for SecureTelephone Identity Revisited (STIR) and the Authenticated IdentityManagement in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). It extends the ability to use the Reason header field as an option for conveying an error associated with an Identity header field to the upstream authentication service when local policy dictates that the call should continue in the presence of a verification failure. This document also defines procedures that enable a failure reason to be mapped to a specific Identity header field for scenarios that use multiple Identity header fields, where some may have errors and others may not. The handling of those situations is also defined.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 9420
Messaging applications are increasingly making use of end-to-end security mechanisms to ensure that messages are only accessible to the communicating endpoints, and not to any servers involved in delivering messages. Establishing keys to provide such protections is challenging for group chat settings, in which more than two clients need to agree on a key but may not be online at the same time. In this document, we specify a key establishment protocol that provides efficient asynchronous group key establishment with forward secrecy (FS) and post-compromise security (PCS) for groups in size ranging from two to thousands.

RFC 9439 Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) Performance Cost Metrics
 
Authors:Q. Wu, Y. Yang, Y. Lee, D. Dhody, S. Randriamasy, L. Contreras.
Date:August 2023
Formats:txt html pdf xml json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9439
The cost metric is a basic concept in Application-Layer TrafficOptimization (ALTO), and different applications may use different types of cost metrics. Since the ALTO base protocol (RFC 7285) defines only a single cost metric (namely, the generic "routingcost" metric), if an application wants to issue a cost map or an endpoint cost request in order to identify a resource provider that offers better performance metrics (e.g., lower delay or loss rate), the base protocol does not define the cost metric to be used.

This document addresses this issue by extending the specification to provide a variety of network performance metrics, including network delay, delay variation (a.k.a. jitter), packet loss rate, hop count, and bandwidth.

There are multiple sources (e.g., estimations based on measurements or a Service Level Agreement) available for deriving a performance metric. This document introduces an additional "cost-context" field to the ALTO "cost-type" field to convey the source of a performance metric.

Authors:B. Schwartz, M. Bishop, E. Nygren.
Date:November 2023
Formats:txt json html xml pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9460
This document specifies the "SVCB" ("Service Binding") and "HTTPS"DNS resource record (RR) types to facilitate the lookup of information needed to make connections to network services, such as for HTTP origins. SVCB records allow a service to be provided from multiple alternative endpoints, each with associated parameters (such as transport protocol configuration), and are extensible to support future uses (such as keys for encrypting the TLS ClientHello). They also enable aliasing of apex domains, which is not possible withCNAME. The HTTPS RR is a variation of SVCB for use with HTTP (seeRFC 9110, "HTTP Semantics"). By providing more information to the client before it attempts to establish a connection, these records offer potential benefits to both performance and privacy.

Date:September 2023
Formats:txt json pdf xml html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9465
In PIM Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) networks, PIM Null-Register messages are sent by the Designated Router (DR) to the Rendezvous Point (RP) to signal the presence of multicast sources in the network. There are periodic PIM Null-Registers sent from the DR to the RP to keep the state alive at the RP as long as the source is active. The PIM Null-Register message carries information about a single multicast source and group.

This document defines a standard to send information about multiple multicast sources and groups in a single PIM message. This document refers to the new messages as the "PIM Packed Null-Register message" and "PIM Packed Register-Stop message".

 
RFC 9466 PIM Assert Message Packing

Formats:txt html xml json pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9466
When PIM Sparse Mode (PIM-SM), including PIM Source-SpecificMulticast (PIM-SSM), is used in shared LAN networks, there is often more than one upstream router. This can lead to duplicate IP multicast packets being forwarded by these PIM routers. PIM Assert messages are used to elect a single forwarder for each IP multicast traffic flow between these routers.

This document defines a mechanism to send and receive information for multiple IP multicast flows in a single PackedAssert message. This optimization reduces the total number of PIM packets on the LAN and can therefore speed up the election of the single forwarder, reducing the number of duplicate IP multicast packets incurred.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9471
The DNS uses glue records to allow iterative clients to find the addresses of name servers that are contained within a delegated zone.Authoritative servers are expected to return all available glue records for in-domain name servers in a referral response. If message size constraints prevent the inclusion of all glue records for in-domain name servers, the server must set the TC (Truncated) flag to inform the client that the response is incomplete and that the client should use another transport to retrieve the full response. This document updates RFC 1034 to clarify correct server behavior.

RFC 9475 Messaging Use Cases and Extensions for Secure Telephone Identity Revisited (STIR)
 
Authors:J. Peterson, C. Wendt.
Date:December 2023
Formats:txt xml json pdf html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9475
Secure Telephone Identity Revisited (STIR) provides a means of attesting the identity of a telephone caller via a signed token in order to prevent impersonation of a calling party number, which is a key enabler for illegal robocalling. Similar impersonation is sometimes leveraged by bad actors in the text and multimedia messaging space. This document explores the applicability of STIR'sPersonal Assertion Token (PASSporT) and certificate issuance framework to text and multimedia messaging use cases, including support for both messages carried as a payload in SIP requests and messages sent in sessions negotiated by SIP.

Obsoletes:RFC 8919
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9479
Existing traffic-engineering-related link attribute advertisements have been defined and are used in RSVP-TE deployments. Since the original RSVP-TE use case was defined, additional applications (e.g.,Segment Routing Policy and Loop-Free Alternates) that also make use of the link attribute advertisements have been defined. In cases where multiple applications wish to make use of these link attributes, the current advertisements do not support application- specific values for a given attribute, nor do they support an indication of which applications are using the advertised value for a given link. This document introduces link attribute advertisements that address both of these shortcomings.

This document obsoletes RFC 8919.

RFC 9491 Integration of the Network Service Header (NSH) and Segment Routing for Service Function Chaining (SFC)
 
Authors:J. Guichard, Ed., J. Tantsura, Ed..
Date:November 2023
Formats:txt xml pdf json html
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9491
This document describes the integration of the Network Service Header(NSH) and Segment Routing (SR), as well as encapsulation details, to efficiently support Service Function Chaining (SFC) while maintaining separation of the service and transport planes as originally intended by the SFC architecture.

Combining these technologies allows SR to be used for steering packets between Service Function Forwarders (SFFs) along a givenService Function Path (SFP), whereas the NSH is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the service plane, the SFC instance context, and any associated metadata.

This integration demonstrates that the NSH and SR can work cooperatively and provide a network operator with the flexibility to use whichever transport technology makes sense in specific areas of their network infrastructure while still maintaining an end-to-end service plane using the NSH.

RFC 9494 Long-Lived Graceful Restart for BGP
 
Authors:J. Uttaro, E. Chen, B. Decraene, J. Scudder.
Date:November 2023
Formats:txt json pdf xml html
Updates:RFC 6368
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9494
This document introduces a BGP capability called the "Long-LivedGraceful Restart Capability" (or "LLGR Capability"). The benefit of this capability is that stale routes can be retained for a longer time upon session failure than is provided for by BGP GracefulRestart (as described in RFC 4724). A well-known BGP community called "LLGR_STALE" is introduced for marking stale routes retained for a longer time. A second well-known BGP community called"NO_LLGR" is introduced for marking routes for which these procedures should not be applied. We also specify that such long-lived stale routes be treated as the least preferred and that their advertisements be limited to BGP speakers that have advertised the capability. Use of this extension is not advisable in all cases, and we provide guidelines to help determine if it is.

This memo updates RFC 6368 by specifying that the LLGR_STALE community must be propagated into, or out of, the path attributes exchanged between the Provider Edge (PE) and Customer Edge (CE) routers.

Updates:RFC 2308, RFC 4035, RFC 4697
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9520
In the DNS, resolvers employ caching to reduce both latency for end users and load on authoritative name servers. The process of resolution may result in one of three types of responses: (1) a response containing the requested data, (2) a response indicating the requested data does not exist, or (3) a non-response due to a resolution failure in which the resolver does not receive any useful information regarding the data's existence. This document concerns itself only with the third type.

RFC 2308 specifies requirements for DNS negative caching. There, caching of TYPE 2 responses is mandatory and caching of TYPE 3 responses is optional. This document updates RFC 2308 to require negative caching for DNS resolution failures.

RFC 4035 allows DNSSEC validation failure caching. This document updates RFC 4035 to require caching for DNSSEC validation failures.

RFC 4697 prohibits aggressive requerying for NS records at a failed zone's parent zone. This document updates RFC 4697 to expand this requirement to all query types and to all ancestor zones.

Per RFC 9115, delegating entities can remain in full control of the delegation and can revoke it at any time. This avoids the need to share private cryptographic key material between the involved entities.
 
RFC 9540 Discovery of Oblivious Services via Service Binding Records
 
Authors:T. Pauly, T. Reddy.K.
Date:February 2024
Formats:txt html pdf xml json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9540
This document defines a parameter that can be included in ServiceBinding (SVCB) and HTTPS DNS resource records to denote that a service is accessible using Oblivious HTTP, by offering an ObliviousGateway Resource through which to access the target. This document also defines a mechanism for learning the key configuration of the discovered Oblivious Gateway Resource.
 
RFC 9541 Flush Mechanism for Customer MAC Addresses Based on Service Instance Identifier (I-SID) in Provider Backbone Bridging EVPN (PBB-EVPN)

Provider Backbone Bridging (PBB) can be combined with EthernetVirtual Private Networks (EVPNs) to deploy Ethernet Local AreaNetwork (E-LAN) services in large Multiprotocol Label Switching(MPLS) networks. That combination is what we refer to as "PBB-EVPN."Single-Active multihoming and per Service Instance Identifier (I-SID) load-balancing can be provided to access devices and aggregation networks. In order to speed up the network convergence in case of failures on Single-Active multihomed Ethernet Segments (ESs), PBB-EVPN defines a flush mechanism for Customer MACs (C-MACs) called"C-MAC flush" that works for different Ethernet Segment Backbone MAC(B-MAC) address allocation models. This document complements thoseC-MAC flush procedures for cases in which no PBB-EVPN ESs are defined(i.e., the attachment circuit is associated with a zero EthernetSegment Identifier (ESI)) and the C-MAC flush requires I-SID-level granularity.
 
RFC 9545 Path Segment Identifier in MPLS-Based Segment Routing Networks
 
Authors:W. Cheng, Ed., H. Li, C. Li, Ed., R. Gandhi, R. Zigler.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9545
A Segment Routing (SR) path is identified by an SR segment list. A subset of segments from the segment list cannot be leveraged to distinguish one SR path from another as they may be partially congruent. SR path identification is a prerequisite for various use cases such as performance measurement and end-to-end 1+1 path protection.

In an SR over MPLS (SR-MPLS) data plane, an egress node cannot determine on which SR path a packet traversed the network from the label stack because the segment identifiers are removed from the label stack as the packet transits the network.

This document defines a Path Segment Identifier (PSID) to identify anSR path on the egress node of the path.

RFC 9549 Internationalization Updates to RFC 5280
 
Authors:R. Housley.
Date:March 2024
Formats:txt pdf xml html json
Obsoletes:RFC 8399
Updates:RFC 5280
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9549
The updates to RFC 5280 described in this document provide alignment with the 2008 specification for Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) and includes support for internationalized email addresses in X.509 certificates. The updates ensure that name constraints for email addresses that contain only ASCII characters and internationalized email addresses are handled in the same manner. This document obsoletes RFC 8399.
 
RFC 9552 Distribution of Link-State and Traffic Engineering Information Using BGP
 
Authors:K. Talaulikar, Ed..
Date:December 2023
Formats:txt json pdf xml html
Obsoletes:RFC 7752, RFC 9029
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9552
In many environments, a component external to a network is called upon to perform computations based on the network topology and the current state of the connections within the network, includingTraffic Engineering (TE) information. This is information typically distributed by IGP routing protocols within the network.

This document describes a mechanism by which link-state and TE information can be collected from networks and shared with external components using the BGP routing protocol. This is achieved using aBGP Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) encoding format.The mechanism applies to physical and virtual (e.g., tunnel) IGP links. The mechanism described is subject to policy control.

Applications of this technique include Application-Layer TrafficOptimization (ALTO) servers and Path Computation Elements (PCEs).

This document obsoletes RFC 7752 by completely replacing that document. It makes some small changes and clarifications to the previous specification. This document also obsoletes RFC 9029 by incorporating the updates that it made to RFC 7752.
