• NFS version 4.0 Trunking Update (draft-ietf-nfsv4-mv0-trunking-update)

  By Chuck Lever, David Noveck, 2018-01-08   TXT HTML PDF

  Abstract: The location-related attribute in NFS version 4.0, fs_locations, is used to support the migration and replication of server file systems. This document describes an additional use for this attribute as a mechanism for an NFS version 4.0 client to discover an NFS version 4.0 server's trunking capabilities. The interaction of trunking with migration and replication is also clarified. This document updates RFC 7530.

• Dynamic Flooding for IS-IS (draft-li-dynamic-flooding-isis)

  By Tony Li, 2018-01-07   TXT HTML PDF

  Abstract: Routing with link state protocols in dense network topologies can result in sub-optimal convergence times due to the overhead associated with flooding. This can be addressed by decreasing the flooding topology so that it is less dense.

• Diameter Group Signaling (draft-ietf-dime-group-signaling)

  By Mark Jones, Marco Liebsch, Lionel Morand, 2018-01-08   TXT HTML PDF

  Abstract: In large network deployments, a single Diameter node can support over a million concurrent Diameter sessions. Recent use cases have revealed the need for Diameter nodes 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 could result in many thousands of command exchanges to enforce the same operation on each session in the group. In order to reduce signaling, it would be desirable to enable bulk operations on all (or part of) the sessions managed by a Diameter node using a single or a few command exchanges. This document specifies the Diameter protocol extensions to achieve this signaling optimization.

• Negotiating Human Language in Real-Time Communications (draft-ietf-slim-negotiating-human-language)

  By Randall Gellens, 2018-01-08   TXT HTML PDF

  Abstract: Users have various human (natural) language needs, abilities, and preferences regarding spoken, written, and signed languages. This document adds new SDP media-level attributes so that when establishing interactive communication sessions ("calls"), it is possible to negotiate (communicate and match) the caller's language and media needs with the capabilities of the called party. This is especially important with emergency calls, where a call can be handled by a call taker capable of communicating with the user, or a translator or relay operator can be bridged into the call during setup, but this applies to non-emergency calls as well (as an example, when calling a company call center).

  By Mingui Zhang, Juniper Networks, Vengada Govindan, 2017-12-26   TXT HTML PDF

  Abstract: Point to multipoint (P2MP) BFD is designed to verify multipoint connectivity. This document specifies the support of P2MP BFD in TRILL. Similar to TRILL point-to-point BFD, BFD Control packets in TRILL P2MP BFD are transmitted using RBridge Channel message. This document updates RFC 7175 and RFC 7177.

• Usage and (D)TLS Profiles for DNS-over-(D)TLS (draft-ietf-dprive-dtls-and-tls-profiles): » AUTH48

  By Sara Dickinson, Daniel Gillmor, Tirumaleswar Reddy, 2017-09-11   TXT HTML PDF

  Abstract: This document discusses Usage Profiles, based on one or more authentication mechanisms, which can be used for DNS over Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Datagram TLS (DTLS). These profiles can increase the privacy of DNS transactions compared to using only clear text DNS. This document also specifies new authentication mechanisms - it describes several ways a DNS client can use an authentication domain name to authenticate a (D)TLS connection to a DNS server. Additionally, it defines (D)TLS protocol profiles for DNS clients and servers implementing DNS-over-(D)TLS. This document updates RFC 7858.

• CUBIC for Fast Long-Distance Networks (draft-ietf-tcpm-cubic): » AUTH48

  By Injong Rhee, Lisong Xu, Sangtae Ha, Alexander Zimmermann, Lars Eggert, Richard Scheffenegger, 2017-11-13   TXT HTML PDF

  Abstract: CUBIC is an extension to the current TCP standards. It differs from the current TCP standards only in the congestion control algorithm in the sender side. In particular, it uses a cubic function instead of a linear window increase function of the current TCP standards to improve scalability and stability under fast and long distance networks. CUBIC and its predecessor algorithm have been adopted as default by Linux and have been used for many years. This document provides a specification of CUBIC to enable third party implementations and to solicit the community feedback through experimentation on the performance of CUBIC.

• Relaxing Restrictions on Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) Experimentation (draft-ietf-tsvwg-ecn-experimentation): » AUTH48

  By David Black, 2017-11-13   TXT HTML PDF

  Abstract: This memo updates RFC 3168, which specifies Explicit Congestion Notification (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. An Experimental 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 DCCP in RFC 4341, RFC 4342 and RFC 5622. This memo also records the conclusion of the ECN nonce experiment in RFC 3540, and provides the rationale for reclassification of RFC 3540 as Historic; this reclassification enables new experimental use of the ECT(1) codepoint.
