RFC 946 Telnet terminal location number option
 
Authors:R. Nedved.
Date:May 1985
Formats:txt pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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 1195 Use of OSI IS-IS for routing in TCP/IP and dual environments
 
Authors:R.W. Callon.
Date:December 1990
Formats:txt pdf ps
Updated by:RFC 1349, RFC 5302, RFC 5304
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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 1577 Classical IP and ARP over ATM
 
Authors:M. Laubach.
Date:January 1994
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 2225
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

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.

RFC 1730 Internet Message Access Protocol - Version 4
 
Authors:M. Crispin.
Date:December 1994
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 2060, RFC 2061
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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].

RFC 1755 ATM Signaling Support for IP over ATM
 
Authors:M. Perez, F. Liaw, A. Mankin, E. Hoffman, D. Grossman, A. Malis.
Date:February 1995
Formats:txt pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

Obsoleted by:RFC 2348
Updates:RFC 1350
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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 pdf
Updated by:RFC 3883
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

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.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

RFC 1894 An Extensible Message Format for Delivery Status Notifications
 
Authors:K. Moore, G. Vaudreuil.
Date:January 1996
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 3464
Updated by:RFC 2852
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 2581
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.
 
RFC 2002 IP Mobility Support
 
Authors:C. Perkins, Ed..

Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 3220
Updated by:RFC 2290
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.
Date:October 1996
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoletes:RFC 1072
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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 pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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
 
Authors:M. Crispin.

Formats:txt pdf
Obsoletes:RFC 1730
Obsoleted by:RFC 3501
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

 
RFC 2065 Domain Name System Security Extensions
 
Authors:D. Eastlake 3rd, C. Kaufman.
Date:January 1997
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 2535
Updates:RFC 1034, RFC 1035
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

Authors:R. Fielding, J. Gettys, J. Mogul, H. Frystyk, T. Berners-Lee.
Date:January 1997
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 2616
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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
 
Authors:J. Franks, P. Hallam-Baker, J. Hostetler, P. Leach, A. Luotonen, E. Sink, L. Stewart.
Date:January 1997
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 2617
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

RFC 2078 Generic Security Service Application Program Interface, Version 2
 
Authors:J. Linn.
Date:January 1997
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoletes:RFC 1508
Obsoleted by:RFC 2743
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

 
RFC 2079 Definition of an X.500 Attribute Type and an Object Class to Hold Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs)
 
Authors:M. Smith.
Date:January 1997
Formats:txt pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

RFC 2097 The PPP NetBIOS Frames Control Protocol (NBFCP)
 
Authors:G. Pall.
Date:January 1997
Formats:txt pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] 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.

The NBF protocol [3] was originally called the NetBEUI protocol. This document defines the Network Control Protocol for establishing and configuring the NBF protocol over PPP.

The NBFCP protocol is only applicable for an end system to connect to a peer system or the LAN that peer system is connected to. It is not applicable for connecting two LANs together due to NetBIOS name limitations and NetBIOS name defense mechanisms.

RFC 2110 MIME E-mail Encapsulation of Aggregate Documents, such as HTML (MHTML)
 
Authors:J. Palme, A. Hopmann.
Date:March 1997
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 2557
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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".

RFC 2136 Dynamic Updates in the Domain Name System (DNS UPDATE)
 
Authors:P. Vixie, Ed., S. Thomson, Y. Rekhter, J. Bound.
Date:April 1997
Formats:txt pdf
Updates:RFC 1035
Updated by:RFC 3007, RFC 4035, RFC 4033, RFC 4034
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

Obsoleted by:RFC 2675
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

Obsoletes:RFC 1664
Updated by:RFC 3597
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

RFC 2284 PPP Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
 
Authors:L. Blunk, J. Vollbrecht.
Date:March 1998
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 3748
Updated by:RFC 2484
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links.

PPP also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, which allows negotiation of an Authentication Protocol for authenticating its peer before allowing Network Layer protocols to transmit over the link.

This document defines the PPP Extensible Authentication Protocol.

RFC 2290 Mobile-IPv4 Configuration Option for PPP IPCP
 
Authors:J. Solomon, S. Glass.
Date:February 1998
Formats:txt pdf
Updates:RFC 2002
Updated by:RFC 2794
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.
 
RFC 2293 Representing Tables and Subtrees in the X.500 Directory
 
Authors:S. Kille.
Date:March 1998
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoletes:RFC 1837
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
This document defines techniques for representing two types of information mapping in the OSI Directory [1].

1. Mapping from a key to a value (or set of values), as might be done in a table lookup.

2. Mapping from a distinguished name to an associated value (or values), where the values are not defined by the owner of the entry. This is achieved by use of a directory subtree.

These techniques were developed for supporting MHS use of Directory[2], but are specified separately as they have more general applicability.

RFC 2298 An Extensible Message Format for Message Disposition Notifications
 
Authors:R. Fajman.
Date:March 1998
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 3798
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

RFC 2308 Negative Caching of DNS Queries (DNS NCACHE)
 
Authors:M. Andrews.
Date:March 1998
Formats:txt pdf
Updates:RFC 1034, RFC 1035
Updated by:RFC 4035, RFC 4033, RFC 4034
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
[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.
Date:April 1998
Formats:txt pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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]).
 
RFC 2326 Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP)
 
Authors:H. Schulzrinne, A. Rao, R. Lanphier.
Date:April 1998
Formats:txt pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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 pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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 pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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]).
