RFC 9200 Authentication and Authorization for Constrained Environments Using the OAuth 2.0 Framework (ACE-OAuth)
 
Authors:L. Seitz, G. Selander, E. Wahlstroem, S. Erdtman, H. Tschofenig.
Date:August 2022
Formats:txt html xml json pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9200
This specification defines a framework for authentication and authorization in Internet of Things (IoT) environments calledACE-OAuth. The framework is based on a set of building blocks including OAuth 2.0 and the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), thus transforming a well-known and widely used authorization solution into a form suitable for IoT devices. Existing specifications are used where possible, but extensions are added and profiles are defined to better serve the IoT use cases.
 
RFC 9201 Additional OAuth Parameters for Authentication and Authorization for Constrained Environments (ACE)
 
Authors:L. Seitz.
Date:August 2022
Formats:txt html json xml pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9201
This specification defines new parameters and encodings for the OAuth2.0 token and introspection endpoints when used with the framework for Authentication and Authorization for Constrained Environments(ACE). These are used to express the proof-of-possession (PoP) key the client wishes to use, the PoP key that the authorization server has selected, and the PoP key the resource server uses to authenticate to the client.
 
RFC 9202 Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) Profile for Authentication and Authorization for Constrained Environments (ACE)
 
Authors:S. Gerdes, O. Bergmann, C. Bormann, G. Selander, L. Seitz.
Date:August 2022
Formats:txt json pdf xml html
Updated by:RFC 9430
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9202
This specification defines a profile of the Authentication andAuthorization for Constrained Environments (ACE) framework that allows constrained servers to delegate client authentication and authorization. The protocol relies on DTLS version 1.2 or later for communication security between entities in a constrained network using either raw public keys or pre-shared keys. A resource- constrained server can use this protocol to delegate management of authorization information to a trusted host with less-severe limitations regarding processing power and memory.

RFC 9217 Current Open Questions in Path-Aware Networking
 
Authors:B. Trammell.
Date:March 2022
Formats:txt json pdf html xml
Status:INFORMATIONAL
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9217
In contrast to the present Internet architecture, a path-aware internetworking architecture has two important properties: it exposes the properties of available Internet paths to endpoints, and it provides for endpoints and applications to use these properties to select paths through the Internet for their traffic. While this property of "path awareness" already exists in many Internet- connected networks within single domains and via administrative interfaces to the network layer, a fully path-aware internetwork expands these concepts across layers and across the Internet.

This document poses questions in path-aware networking, open as of2021, that must be answered in the design, development, and deployment of path-aware internetworks. It was originally written to frame discussions in the Path Aware Networking Research Group(PANRG), and has been published to snapshot current thinking in this space.

 
RFC 9218 Extensible Prioritization Scheme for HTTP
 
Authors:K. Oku, L. Pardue.

RFC 9223 Real-Time Transport Object Delivery over Unidirectional Transport (ROUTE)
 
Authors:W. Zia, T. Stockhammer, L. Chaponniere, G. Mandyam, M. Luby.
Date:April 2022
Formats:txt json pdf html xml
Status:INFORMATIONAL
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9223
The Real-time Transport Object delivery over Unidirectional Transport(ROUTE) protocol is specified for robust delivery of ApplicationObjects, including Application Objects with real-time delivery constraints, to receivers over a unidirectional transport.Application Objects consist of data that has meaning to applications that use the ROUTE protocol for delivery of data to receivers; for example, it can be a file, a Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP(DASH) or HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) segment, a WAV audio clip, etc.The ROUTE protocol also supports low-latency streaming applications.

The ROUTE protocol is suitable for unicast, broadcast, and multicast transport. Therefore, it can be run over UDP/IP, including multicastIP. The ROUTE protocol can leverage the features of the underlying protocol layer, e.g., to provide security, it can leverage IP security protocols such as IPsec.

This document specifies the ROUTE protocol such that it could be used by a variety of services for delivery of Application Objects by specifying their own profiles of this protocol (e.g., by adding or constraining some features).

This is not an IETF specification and does not have IETF consensus.

RFC 9228 Delivered-To Email Header Field
 
Authors:D. Crocker, Ed..
Date:April 2022
Formats:txt xml html pdf json
Status:EXPERIMENTAL
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9228
The address to which email is delivered might be different than any of the addresses shown in any of the content header fields that were created by the email's author. For example, the address used by the email transport service is provided separately, such as throughSMTP's "RCPT TO" command, and might not match any address in the To: or cc: fields. In addition, before final delivery, handling can entail a sequence of submission/delivery events, using a sequence of different destination addresses that (eventually) lead to the recipient. As well, a receiving system's delivery process can produce local address transformations.

It can be helpful for a message to have a common way to record each delivery in such a sequence, noting each address used in the sequence to that recipient, such as for (1) analyzing the path a message has taken, (2) loop detection, or (3) formulating the author's address in a reply message. This document defines a header field for this information.

Email handling information discloses details about the email infrastructure, as well as about a particular recipient; this can raise privacy concerns.

A header field such as this is not automatically assured of widespread use. Therefore, this document is being published as anExperimental RFC, looking for constituency and for operational utility. This document was produced through the IndependentSubmission Stream and was not subject to the IETF's approval process.

 
RFC 9229 IPv4 Routes with an IPv6 Next Hop in the Babel Routing Protocol

RFC 9230 Oblivious DNS over HTTPS
 
Authors:E. Kinnear, P. McManus, T. Pauly, T. Verma, C.A. Wood.
Date:June 2022
Formats:txt pdf html xml json
Status:EXPERIMENTAL
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9230
This document describes a protocol that allows clients to hide theirIP addresses from DNS resolvers via proxying encrypted DNS over HTTPS(DoH) messages. This improves privacy of DNS operations by not allowing any one server entity to be aware of both the client IP address and the content of DNS queries and answers.

This experimental protocol has been developed outside the IETF and is published here to guide implementation, ensure interoperability among implementations, and enable wide-scale experimentation.

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.
Date:May 2022
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 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.

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.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9244
This document aims to enrich the Distributed Denial-of-Service OpenThreat Signaling (DOTS) signal channel protocol with various telemetry attributes, allowing for optimal Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack mitigation. It specifies the normal traffic baseline and attack traffic telemetry attributes a DOTS client can convey to its DOTS server in the mitigation request, the mitigation status telemetry attributes a DOTS server can communicate to a DOTS client, and the mitigation efficacy telemetry attributes a DOTS client can communicate to a DOTS server. The telemetry attributes can assist the mitigator in choosing the DDoS mitigation techniques and performing optimal DDoS attack mitigation.

This document specifies two YANG modules: one for representing DOTS telemetry message types and one for sharing the attack mapping details over the DOTS data channel.

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.

RFC 9250 DNS over Dedicated QUIC Connections
 
Authors:C. Huitema, S. Dickinson, A. Mankin.
Date:May 2022
Formats:txt json pdf html xml
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9250
This document describes the use of QUIC to provide transport confidentiality for DNS. The encryption provided by QUIC has similar properties to those provided by TLS, while QUIC transport eliminates the head-of-line blocking issues inherent with TCP and provides more efficient packet-loss recovery than UDP. DNS over QUIC (DoQ) has privacy properties similar to DNS over TLS (DoT) specified in RFC7858, and latency characteristics similar to classic DNS over UDP.This specification describes the use of DoQ as a general-purpose transport for DNS and includes the use of DoQ for stub to recursive, recursive to authoritative, and zone transfer scenarios.

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.

Obsoletes:RFC 4460, RFC 4960, RFC 6096, RFC 7053, RFC 8540
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.

RFC 9262 Tree Engineering for Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER-TE)
 
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).

RFC 9265 Forward Erasure Correction (FEC) Coding and Congestion Control in Transport
 
Authors:N. Kuhn, E. Lochin, F. Michel, M. Welzl.
Date:July 2022
Formats:txt json pdf html xml
Status:INFORMATIONAL
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9265
Forward Erasure Correction (FEC) is a reliability mechanism that is distinct and separate from the retransmission logic in reliable transfer protocols such as TCP. FEC coding can help deal with losses at the end of transfers or with networks having non-congestion losses. However, FEC coding mechanisms should not hide congestion signals. This memo offers a discussion of how FEC coding and congestion control can coexist. Another objective is to encourage the research community to also consider congestion control aspects when proposing and comparing FEC coding solutions in communication systems.

This document is the product of the Coding for Efficient NetworkCommunications Research Group (NWCRG). The scope of the document is end-to-end communications; FEC coding for tunnels is out of the scope of the document.

Date:August 2022
Formats:txt xml pdf json html
Status:INFORMATIONAL
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9269
A 4G mobile network uses IP-based transport for the control plane to establish the data session at the user plane for the actual data delivery. In the existing architecture, IP-based unicast is used for the delivery of multimedia content to a mobile terminal, where each user is receiving a separate stream from the server. From a bandwidth and routing perspective, this approach is inefficient.Evolved multimedia broadcast and multicast service (eMBMS) provides capabilities for delivering contents to multiple users simultaneously, but its deployment is very limited or at an experimental stage due to numerous challenges. The focus of this document is to list the options for using Information-CentricNetworking (ICN) in 4G mobile networks and elaborate the experimental setups for its further evaluation. The experimental setups discussed provide guidance for using ICN either natively or with an existing mobility protocol stack. With further investigations based on the listed experiments, ICN with its inherent capabilities such as network-layer multicast, anchorless mobility, security, and optimized data delivery using local caching at the edge may provide a viable alternative to IP transport in 4G mobile networks.

RFC 9271 Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Management Protocol -- Commands and Responses
 
Authors:R. Price, Ed..
Date:August 2022
Formats:txt pdf xml json html
Status:INFORMATIONAL
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9271
This document describes the command/response protocol currently used in the management of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units and other power devices often deployed in small offices and in IT installations subject to an erratic public power supply. The UPS units typically interface to an Attachment Daemon in the system they protect. This daemon is in turn polled by a Management Daemon that notifies users and system administrators of power supply incidents and automates system shutdown decisions. The commands and responses described by this document are exchanged between the UPS AttachmentDaemon and the Management Daemon. The practice current when this protocol was first developed risks weak security, and this is addressed in the Security Considerations sections of this document.

RFC 9275 An Extension for Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO): Path Vector
 
Authors:K. Gao, Y. Lee, S. Randriamasy, Y. Yang, J. Zhang.
Date:September 2022
Formats:txt json html xml pdf
Status:EXPERIMENTAL
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9275
This document is an extension to the base Application-Layer TrafficOptimization (ALTO) protocol. It extends the ALTO cost map and ALTO property map services so that an application can decide to which endpoint(s) to connect based not only on numerical/ordinal cost values but also on fine-grained abstract information regarding the paths. This is useful for applications whose performance is impacted by specific components of a network on the end-to-end paths, e.g., they may infer that several paths share common links and prevent traffic bottlenecks by avoiding such paths. This extension introduces a new abstraction called the "Abstract Network Element"(ANE) to represent these components and encodes a network path as a vector of ANEs. Thus, it provides a more complete but still abstract graph representation of the underlying network(s) for informed traffic optimization among endpoints.

RFC 9286 Manifests for the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI)
 
Authors:R. Austein, G. Huston, S. Kent, M. Lepinski.
Date:June 2022
Formats:txt html pdf xml json
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 9291 A YANG Network Data Model for Layer 2 VPNs
 
Authors:M. Boucadair, Ed., O. Gonzalez de Dios, Ed., S. Barguil, L. Munoz.
Date:September 2022
Formats:txt json xml html pdf
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9291
This document defines an L2VPN Network Model (L2NM) that can be used to manage the provisioning of Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN) services within a network (e.g., a service provider network). TheL2NM complements the L2VPN Service Model (L2SM) by providing a network-centric view of the service that is internal to a service provider. The L2NM is particularly meant to be used by a network controller to derive the configuration information that will be sent to relevant network devices.

Also, this document defines a YANG module to manage Ethernet segments and the initial versions of two IANA-maintained modules that include a set of identities of BGP Layer 2 encapsulation types and pseudowire types.

Updates:RFC 1011, RFC 1122, RFC 5961
Also:STD 0007
Status:INTERNET STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9293
This document specifies the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP is an important transport-layer protocol in the Internet protocol stack, and it has continuously evolved over decades of use and growth of the Internet. Over this time, a number of changes have been made to TCP as it was specified in RFC 793, though these have only been documented in a piecemeal fashion. This document collects and brings those changes together with the protocol specification from RFC 793.This document obsoletes RFC 793, as well as RFCs 879, 2873, 6093,6429, 6528, and 6691 that updated parts of RFC 793. It updates RFCs1011 and 1122, and it should be considered as a replacement for the portions of those documents dealing with TCP requirements. It also updates RFC 5961 by adding a small clarification in reset handling while in the SYN-RECEIVED state. The TCP header control bits fromRFC 793 have also been updated based on RFC 3168.

RFC 9296 ifStackTable for the Point-to-Point (P2P) Interface over a LAN Type: Definition and Examples
 
Authors:D. Liu, J. Halpern, C. Zhang.
Date:August 2022
Formats:txt html json xml pdf
Status:INFORMATIONAL
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9296
RFC 5309 defines the Point-to-Point (P2P) circuit type, one of the two circuit types used in the link-state routing protocols, and highlights that it is important to identify the correct circuit type when forming adjacencies, flooding link-state database packets, and monitoring the link state.

This document provides advice about the ifStack for the P2P interface over a LAN Type to facilitate operational control, maintenance, and statistics.

 
RFC 9297 HTTP Datagrams and the Capsule Protocol
 
Authors:D. Schinazi, L. Pardue.
Date:August 2022
Formats:txt html xml pdf json
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 9297
This document describes HTTP Datagrams, a convention for conveying multiplexed, potentially unreliable datagrams inside an HTTP connection.

In HTTP/3, HTTP Datagrams can be sent unreliably using the QUICDATAGRAM extension. When the QUIC DATAGRAM frame is unavailable or undesirable, HTTP Datagrams can be sent using the Capsule Protocol, which is a more general convention for conveying data in HTTP connections.

HTTP Datagrams and the Capsule Protocol are intended for use by HTTP extensions, not applications.
