RFC 802 ARPANET 1822L Host Access Protocol
 
Authors:A.G. Malis.
Date:November 1981
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 0851
Status:UNKNOWN
This document proposed two major changes to the current ARPANET host access protocol. The first change will allow hosts to use logical addressing (i.e., host addresses that are independent of their physical location on the ARPANET) to communicate with each other, and the second will allow a host to shorten the amount of time that it may be blocked by its IMP after it presents a message to the network (currently, the IMP can block further input from a host for up to 15 seconds). See RFCs 852 and 851.

Status:UNKNOWN
This memo describes a proposed protocol standard for the ARPA Internet community. The CCITT and the ISO have defined various session, presentation, and application recommendations which have been adopted by the international community and numerous vendors. To the largest extent possible, it is desirable to offer these higher level services directly in the ARPA Internet, without disrupting existing facilities. This permits users to develop expertise with ISO and CCITT applications which previously were not available in the ARPA Internet. The intention is that hosts in the ARPA-Internet that choose to implement ISO TSAP services on top of the TCP be expected to adopt and implement this standard. Suggestions for improvement are encouraged.
 
RFC 984 PCMAIL: A distributed mail system for personal computers
 
Authors:D.D. Clark, M.L. Lambert.
Date:May 1986
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 0993
Status:UNKNOWN
This document is a preliminary discussion of the design of a personal-computer-based distributed mail system. Pcmail is a distributed mail system that provides mail service to an arbitrary number of users, each of which owns one or more personal computers (PCs). The system is divided into two halves. The first consists of a single entity called the "repository". The repository is a storage center for incoming mail. Mail for a Pcmail user can arrive externally from the Internet or internally from other repository users. The repository also maintains a stable copy of each user's mail state. The repository is therefore typically a computer with a large amount of disk storage. It is published for discussion and comment, and does not constitute a standard. As the proposal may change, implementation of this document is not advised. See RFC-993.

Obsoletes:RFC 0958
Obsoleted by:RFC 1119, RFC 1305
Status:UNKNOWN
This memo describes the Network Time Protocol (NTP), specifies its formal structure and summarizes information useful for its implementation. NTP provides the mechanisms to synchronize time and coordinate time distribution in a large, diverse internet operating at rates from mundane to lightwave. It uses a returnable-time design in which a distributed subnet of time servers operating in a self- organizing, hierarchical master-slave configuration synchronizes logical clocks within the subnet and to national time standards via wire or radio. The servers can also redistribute reference time via local routing algorithms and time daemons. The NTP architectures, algorithms and protocols which have evolved over several years of implementation and refinement are described in this document. The prototype system, which has been in regular operation in the Internet for the last two years, is described in an Appendix along with performance data which shows that timekeeping accuracy throughout most portions of the Internet can be ordinarily maintained to within a few tens of milliseconds, even the cases of failure or disruption of clocks, time servers or nets. This is a Draft Standard for an Elective protocol.

Obsoleted by:RFC 6247
Status:HISTORIC
Two extensions to the TCP protocol are described in this RFC in order to provide a more efficient operation over a network with a high bandwidth*delay product. The main issue that still needs to be solved is congestion versus noise. This issue is touched on in this memo, but further research is still needed on the applicability of the extensions in the Internet as a whole infrastructure and not just high bandwidth*delay product networks. Even with this outstanding issue, this document does describe the use of these options in the isolated satellite network environment to help facilitate more efficient use of this special medium to help off load bulk data transfers from links needed for interactive use.
 
RFC 1110 Problem with the TCP big window option

Status:HISTORIC
The TCP Big Window option discussed in RFC 1106 will not work properly in an Internet environment which has both a high bandwidth * delay product and the possibility of disordering and duplicating packets. In such networks, the window size must not be increased without a similar increase in the sequence number space. Therefore, a different approach to big windows should be taken in the Internet.

This specification was developed by the OSPF Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
 
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 pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 1171
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

This document was presented at the 1991 ACM SIGUCCS User ServicesConference. It appears here in its updated form.

There is a wealth of information on the network. In fact, so much information, that you could spend your entire life browsing. This paper will present some of the "gold nuggets" of information and file repositories on the network that could be of use to end users.

The ultimate goal is to make the route to these sources of information invisible to the user. At present, this is not easy to do. I will explain some of the techniques that can be used to make these nuggets easier to pick up so that we can all be richer.

Status:INFORMATIONAL
Over the last two years, the attendance at Internet Engineering TaskForce (IETF) Plenary meetings has grown phenomenally. Approximately38% of the attendees are new to the IETF at each meeting. About 33% of those go on to become regular attendees. When the meetings were smaller, it wasn't very difficult for a newcomer to get to know people and get into the swing of things. Today, however, a newcomer meets many more new people, some previously known only as the authors of Request For Comments (RFC) documents or thought provoking email messages.

The purpose of this For Your Information (FYI) RFC is to explain to the newcomers how the IETF works. This will give them a warm, fuzzy feeling and enable them to make the meeting more productive for everyone. This FYI will also provide the mundane bits of information which everyone who attends an IETF meeting should know.

This memo defines an extension to the Management Information Base(MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets. In particular, it defines objects for managing DS3 and E3Interfaces. This document is a companion document with Definitions of Managed Objects for the DS1 Interface Type.

This document entirely replaces RFC 1233, which contains a fundamental error: many objects are encoded as Counters that must be encoded as INTEGERs or Gauges. The magnitude of the change required is sufficient that virtually every object changed. Therefore, theMIB documented in RFC 1233 should not be implemented.

Obsoleted by:RFC 2474
Status:EXPERIMENTAL
This RFC documents an experimental protocol providing a Type ofService (TOS) to request maximum physical link security. This is an addition to the types of service enumerated in RFC 1349: Type ofService in the Internet Protocol Suite. The new TOS requests the network to provide what protection it can against surreptitious observation by outside agents of traffic so labeled. The purpose is protection against traffic analysis and as an additional possible level of data confidentiality. This TOS is consistent with all other defined types of service for IP version 4 in that it is based on link level characteristics and will not provide any particular guaranteed level of service.

RFC 1484 Using the OSI Directory to achieve User Friendly Naming (OSI-DS 24 (v1.2))
 
Authors:S. Hardcastle-Kille.
Date:July 1993
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 1781, RFC 3494
Status:HISTORIC
The OSI Directory has user friendly naming as a goal. A simple minded usage of the directory does not achieve this. Two aspects not achieved are: o A user oriented notation o Guessability

This proposal sets out some conventions for representing names in a friendly manner, and shows how this can be used to achieve really friendly naming. This then leads to a specification of a format for representing names, and to procedures to resolve them. This leads to a specification which allows directory names to be communicated between humans. The format in this specification is identical to that defined in [HK93], and it is intended that these specifications are compatible. Please send comments to the author or to the discussion group: <osi-ds@CS.UCL.AC.UK&rt;.

Obsoleted by:RFC 1779, RFC 3494
Status:HISTORIC
The OSI Directory uses distinguished names as the primary keys to entries in the directory. Distinguished Names are encoded in ASN.1.When a distinguished name is communicated between to users not using a directory protocol (e.g., in a mail message), there is a need to have a user-oriented string representation of distinguished name. This specification defines a string format for representing names, which is designed to give a clean representation of commonly used names, whilst being able to represent any distinguished name.

RFC 1487 X.500 Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
 
Authors:W. Yeong, T. Howes, S. Kille.
Date:July 1993
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 1777, RFC 3494
Status:HISTORIC
The protocol described in this document is designed to provide access to the Directory while not incurring the resource requirements of theDirectory Access Protocol (DAP). This protocol is specifically targeted at simple management applications and browser applications that provide simple read/write interactive access to the Directory, and is intended to be a complement to the DAP itself.

Key aspects of LDAP are:

- Protocol elements are carried directly over TCP or other transport, bypassing much of the session/presentation overhead.

- Many protocol data elements are encoding as ordinary strings (e.g.,Distinguished Names).

- A lightweight BER encoding is used to encode all protocol elements.

This document specifies C language bindings for the Generic SecurityService Application Program Interface (GSS-API), which is described at a language-independent conceptual level in other documents.

The Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface (GSS-API) provides security services to its callers, and is intended for implementation atop alternative 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.

Obsoleted by:RFC 2045, RFC 2046, RFC 2047, RFC 2048, RFC 2049
Updated by:RFC 1590
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
STD 11, RFC 822 defines a message representation protocol which specifies considerable detail about message headers, but which leaves the message content, or message body, as flat ASCII text. This document redefines the format of message bodies to allow multi-part textual and non-textual message bodies to be represented and exchanged without loss of information. This is based on earlier work documented in RFC 934 and STD 11, RFC 1049, but extends and revises that work. Because RFC 822 said so little about message bodies, this document is largely orthogonal to (rather than a revision of) RFC822.

In particular, this document is designed to provide facilities to include multiple objects in a single message, to represent body text in character sets other than US-ASCII, to represent formatted multi- font text messages, to represent non-textual material such as images and audio fragments, and generally to facilitate later extensions defining new types of Internet mail for use by cooperating mail agents.

This document does NOT extend Internet mail header fields to permit anything other than US-ASCII text data. Such extensions are the subject of a companion document [RFC-1522].

This document is a revision of RFC 1341. Significant differences from RFC 1341 are summarized in Appendix H.

Over the last two years, the attendance at Internet Engineering TaskForce (IETF) Plenary meetings has grown phenomenally. Approximately38% of the attendees are new to the IETF at each meeting. About 33% of those go on to become regular attendees. When the meetings were smaller, it wasn't very difficult for a newcomer to get to know people and get into the swing of things. Today, however, a newcomer meets many more new people, some previously known only as the authors of Request For Comments (RFC) documents or thought provoking email messages.

The purpose of this For Your Information (FYI) RFC is to explain to the newcomers how the IETF works. This will give them a warm, fuzzy feeling and enable them to make the meeting more productive for everyone. This FYI will also provide the mundane bits of information which everyone who attends an IETF meeting should know.

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links. PPP is comprised of three main components:

1. A method for encapsulating multi-protocol datagrams.

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 organization and methodology, and thePPP encapsulation, together with an extensible option negotiation mechanism which is able to negotiate a rich assortment of configuration parameters and provides additional management functions. The PPP Link Control Protocol (LCP) is described in terms of this mechanism.

This document is the product of the Point-to-Point Protocol WorkingGroup of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Comments should be submitted to the ietf-ppp@ucdavis.edu mailing list.

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.

RFC 1583 OSPF Version 2
 
Authors:J. Moy.
Date:March 1994
Formats:txt pdf ps
Obsoletes:RFC 1247
Obsoleted by:RFC 2178
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
This memo documents version 2 of the OSPF protocol. OSPF is a link-state routing protocol. It is designed to be run internal to a single Autonomous System. Each OSPF router maintains an identical database describing the Autonomous System's topology. From this database, a routing table is calculated by constructing a shortest- path tree.

OSPF recalculates routes quickly in the face of topological changes, utilizing a minimum of routing protocol traffic. OSPF provides support for equal-cost multipath. Separate routes can be calculated for each IP Type of Service. An area routing capability is provided, enabling an additional level of routing protection and a reduction in routing protocol traffic. In addition, all OSPF routing protocol exchanges are authenticated.

OSPF Version 2 was originally documented in RFC 1247. The differences between RFC 1247 and this memo are explained in AppendixE. The differences consist of bug fixes and clarifications, and are backward-compatible in nature. Implementations of RFC 1247 and of this memo will interoperate.

Status:INFORMATIONAL
Several protocols allow the use of data representing different"media" such as text, images, audio, and video, and within such media different encoding styles, such as (in video) jpeg, gif, ief, and tiff. The Multimedia Internet Message Extensions (MIME) protocol [1] defined several initial types of multimedia data objects, and a procedure for registering additional types with the Internet AssignedNumbers Authority (IANA). Several questions have been raised about the requirements and administrative procedure for registering MIME content-type and subtypes, and the use of these Media Types for other applications. This document addresses these issues and specifies a procedure for the registration of new Media Types (content- type/subtypes). It also generalizes the scope of use of these MediaTypes to make it appropriate to use the same registrations and specifications with other applications.

RFC 1631 The IP Network Address Translator (NAT)
 
Authors:K. Egevang, P. Francis.
Date:May 1994
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 3022
Status:INFORMATIONAL
The two most compelling problems facing the IP Internet are IP address depletion and scaling in routing. Long-term and short-term solutions to these problems are being developed. The short-term solution is CIDR (Classless InterDomain Routing). The long-term solutions consist of various proposals for new internet protocols with larger addresses.

It is possible that CIDR will not be adequate to maintain the IPInternet until the long-term solutions are in place. This memo proposes another short-term solution, address reuse, that complementsCIDR or even makes it unnecessary. The address reuse solution is to place Network Address Translators (NAT) at the borders of stub domains. Each NAT box has a table consisting of pairs of local IP addresses and globally unique addresses. The IP addresses inside the stub domain are not globally unique. They are reused in other domains, thus solving the address depletion problem. The globally unique IP addresses are assigned according to current CIDR address allocation schemes. CIDR solves the scaling problem. The main advantage of NAT is that it can be installed without changes to routers or hosts. This memo presents a preliminary design for NAT, and discusses its pros and cons.

Obsoletes:RFC 1348
Obsoleted by:RFC 1706
Status:EXPERIMENTAL
The Internet is moving towards the deployment of an OSI lower layers infrastructure. This infrastructure comprises the connectionless network protocol (CLNP) and supporting routing protocols. Also required as part of this infrastructure is support in the Domain NameSystem (DNS) for mapping between names and NSAP addresses.

This document defines the format of one new Resource Record (RR) for the DNS for domain name-to-NSAP mapping. The RR may be used with anyNSAP address format. This document supercedes RFC 1348.

NSAP-to-name translation is accomplished through use of the PTR RR(see STD 13, RFC 1035 for a description of the PTR RR). This paper describes how PTR RRs are used to support this translation.

RFC 1642 UTF-7 - A Mail-Safe Transformation Format of Unicode
 
Authors:D. Goldsmith, M. Davis.
Date:July 1994
Formats:txt pdf ps
Obsoleted by:RFC 2152
Status:EXPERIMENTAL
The Unicode Standard, version 1.1, and ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993(E) jointly define a 16 bit character set (hereafter referred to asUnicode) which encompasses most of the world's writing systems.However, Internet mail (STD 11, RFC 822) currently supports only 7- bit US ASCII as a character set. MIME (RFC 1521 and RFC 1522) extendsInternet mail to support different media types and character sets, and thus could support Unicode in mail messages. MIME neither definesUnicode as a permitted character set nor specifies how it would be encoded, although it does provide for the registration of additional character sets over time.

This document describes a new transformation format of Unicode that contains only 7-bit ASCII characters and is intended to be readable by humans in the limiting case that the document consists of characters from the US-ASCII repertoire. It also specifies how this transformation format is used in the context of RFC 1521, RFC 1522, and the document "Using Unicode with MIME".

Obsoleted by:RFC 2163
Status:EXPERIMENTAL
This memo defines how to store in the Internet Domain Name System the mapping information needed by 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. Gateways located on Internet hosts can retrieve the mapping information querying the DNS instead of having fixed tables which need to be centrally updated and distributed. This memo is a joint effort of X400 operation working group (x400ops) and RARE Mail andMessaging working group (WG-MSG).

Over the last two years, the attendance at Internet Engineering TaskForce (IETF) plenary meetings has grown phenomenally. Approximately one third of the attendees are new to the IETF at each meeting, and many of those go on to become regular attendees. When the meetings were smaller, it wasn't very difficult for a newcomer to get into the swing of things. Today, however, a newcomer meets many more new people, some previously known only as the authors of documents or thought provoking e-mail messages.

The purpose of this For Your Information (FYI) RFC is to explain to the newcomers how the IETF works. This will give them a warm, fuzzy feeling and enable them to make the meeting more productive for everyone. This FYI will also provide the mundane bits of information which everyone who attends an IETF meeting should know.

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 1750 Randomness Recommendations for Security
 
Authors:D. Eastlake 3rd, S. Crocker, J. Schiller.
Date:December 1994
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 4086
Status:INFORMATIONAL
Security systems today are built on increasingly strong cryptographic algorithms that foil pattern analysis attempts. However, the security of these systems is dependent on generating secret quantities for passwords, cryptographic keys, and similar quantities. The use of pseudo-random processes to generate secret quantities can result in pseudo-security. The sophisticated attacker of these security systems may find it easier to reproduce the environment that produced the secret quantities, searching the resulting small set of possibilities, than to locate the quantities in the whole of the number space.

Choosing random quantities to foil a resourceful and motivated adversary is surprisingly difficult. This paper points out many pitfalls in using traditional pseudo-random number generation techniques for choosing such quantities. It recommends the use of truly random hardware techniques and shows that the existing hardware on many systems can be used for this purpose. It provides suggestions to ameliorate the problem when a hardware solution is not available. And it gives examples of how large such quantities need to be for some particular applications.

RFC 1769 Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
 
Authors:D. Mills.
Date:March 1995
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoletes:RFC 1361
Obsoleted by:RFC 2030, RFC 4330
Status:INFORMATIONAL
This memorandum describes the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP), which is an adaptation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) used to synchronize computer clocks in the Internet. SNTP can be used when the ultimate performance of the full NTP implementation described inRFC-1305 is not needed or justified. It can operate in both unicast modes (point to point) and broadcast modes (point to multipoint). It can also operate in IP multicast mode where this service is available. SNTP involves no change to the current or previous NTP specification versions or known implementations, but rather a clarification of certain design features of NTP which allow operation in a simple, stateless remote-procedure call (RPC) mode with accuracy and reliability expectations similar to the UDP/TIME protocol described in RFC-868.

This memorandum obsoletes RFC-1361 of the same title. Its purpose is to explain the protocol model for operation in broadcast mode, to provide additional clarification in some places and to correct a few typographical errors. A working knowledge of the NTP Version 3 specification RFC-1305 is not required for an implementation of SNTP.Distribution of this memorandum is unlimited.

Obsoletes:RFC 1487
Obsoleted by:RFC 3494
Status:HISTORIC
The protocol described in this document is designed to provide access to the X.500 Directory while not incurring the resource requirements of the Directory Access Protocol (DAP). This protocol is specifically targeted at simple management applications and browser applications that provide simple read/write interactive access to the X.500Directory, and is intended to be a complement to the DAP itself.

Key aspects of LDAP are:

- Protocol elements are carried directly over TCP or other transport, bypassing much of the session/presentation overhead.

- Many protocol data elements are encoding as ordinary strings (e.g.,Distinguished Names).

- A lightweight BER encoding is used to encode all protocol elements.

The OSI Directory uses distinguished names as the primary keys to entries in the directory. Distinguished Names are encoded in ASN.1.When a distinguished name is communicated between to users not using a directory protocol (e.g., in a mail message), there is a need to have a user-oriented string representation of distinguished name.This specification defines a string format for representing names, which is designed to give a clean representation of commonly used names, whilst being able to represent any distinguished name.

RFC 1781 Using the OSI Directory to Achieve User Friendly Naming

Formats:txt pdf
Obsoletes:RFC 1484
Obsoleted by:RFC 3494
Status:HISTORIC
The OSI Directory has user friendly naming as a goal. A simple minded usage of the directory does not achieve this. Two aspects not achieved are: o A user oriented notation o Guessability

This proposal sets out some conventions for representing names in a friendly manner, and shows how this can be used to achieve really friendly naming. This then leads to a specification of a standard format for representing names, and to procedures to resolve them.This leads to a specification which allows directory names to be communicated between humans. The format in this specification is identical to that defined in [5], and it is intended that these specifications are compatible.

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].

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 describes the registration policies for the top-level domain ".GOV". Thus far, Federal Agencies and their subsidiaries have registered without any guidance. This has resulted in multiple registrations for Federal Agencies and naming schemes that do not facilitate responsiveness to the public. This document fixes this by restricting registrations to coincide with the approved structure of the US government. The document cited, FIPS 95-1, provides a standard recognized structure into which domain registrations for top-level domains. The IANA requires that an organization/country apply for and get a 2 letter code from ISO/ITU (e.g., US for UnitedStates) for additional top-level registration.

As a side effect, this reduces the number of .GOV level registrations and reduces the workload on the Internic.

By the early 1990s, it had become clear that RFC 1036, then the specification for the Interchange of USENET Messages, was badly in need of repair. This "Internet-Draft-to-be", though never formally published at that time, was widely circulated and became the de facto standard for implementors of News Servers and User Agents, rapidly acquiring the nickname "Son of 1036". Indeed, under that name, it could fairly be described as the best-known Internet Draft (n)ever published, and it formed the starting point for the recently adoptedProposed Standards for Netnews.

It is being published now in order to provide the historical background out of which those standards have grown. Present-day implementors should be aware that it is NOT NOW APPROPRIATE for use in current implementations.

RFC 1866 Hypertext Markup Language - 2.0
 
Authors:T. Berners-Lee, D. Connolly.
Date:November 1995
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 2854
Status:HISTORIC
The Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is a simple markup language used to create hypertext documents that are platform independent. HTML documents are SGML documents with generic semantics that are appropriate for representing information from a wide range of domains. HTML markup can represent hypertext news, mail, documentation, and hypermedia; menus of options; database query results; simple structured documents with in-lined graphics; and hypertext views of existing bodies of information.

HTML has been in use by the World Wide Web (WWW) global information initiative since 1990. This specification roughly corresponds to the capabilities of HTML in common use prior to June 1994. HTML is an application of ISO Standard 8879:1986 Information Processing Text andOffice Systems; Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).

The "text/html" Internet Media Type (RFC 1590) and MIME Content Type(RFC 1521) is defined by this specification.

Date:January 1996
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 3550
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 1890 RTP Profile for Audio and Video Conferences with Minimal Control

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.
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.

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.

Obsoleted by:RFC 2472
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] provides a standard method of encapsulating Network Layer protocol information over point-to-point links. PPP also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, and proposes a family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols.

This document defines the method for transmission of IP Version 6 [2] packets over PPP links as well as the Network Control Protocol (NCP) for establishing and configuring the IPv6 over PPP. It also specifies the method of forming IPv6 link-local addresses on PPP links.

RFC 2030 Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) Version 4 for IPv4, IPv6 and OSI
 
Authors:D. Mills.
Date:October 1996
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoletes:RFC 1769
Obsoleted by:RFC 4330
Status:INFORMATIONAL
This memorandum describes the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)Version 4, which is an adaptation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) used to synchronize computer clocks in the Internet. SNTP can be used when the ultimate performance of the full NTP implementation described in RFC-1305 is not needed or justified. When operating with current and previous NTP and SNTP versions, SNTP Version 4 involves no changes to the NTP specification or known implementations, but rather a clarification of certain design features of NTP which allow operation in a simple, stateless remote-procedure call (RPC) mode with accuracy and reliability expectations similar to the UDP/TIME protocol described in RFC-868.

The only significant protocol change in SNTP Version 4 over previous versions of NTP and SNTP is a modified header interpretation to accommodate Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) [DEE96] and OSI[COL94] addressing. However, SNTP Version 4 includes certain optional extensions to the basic Version 3 model, including an anycast mode and an authentication scheme designed specifically for multicast and anycast modes. While the anycast mode extension is described in this document, the authentication scheme extension will be described in another document to be published later. Until such time that a definitive specification is published, these extensions should be considered provisional.

This memorandum obsoletes RFC-1769, which describes SNTP Version 3.Its purpose is to correct certain inconsistencies in the previous document and to clarify header formats and protocol operations for current NTP Version 3 (IPv4) and proposed NTP Version 4 (IPv6 andOSI), which are also used for SNTP. A working knowledge of the NTPVersion 3 specification RFC-1305 is not required for an implementation of SNTP.

RFC 2044 UTF-8, a transformation format of Unicode and ISO 10646
 
Authors:F. Yergeau.
Date:October 1996
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 2279
Status:INFORMATIONAL
The Unicode Standard, version 1.1, and ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993 jointly define a 16 bit character set which encompasses most of the world's writing systems. 16-bit characters, however, are not compatible with many current applications and protocols, and this has led to the development of a few so-called UCS transformation formats (UTF), each with different characteristics. UTF-8, the object of this memo, has the characteristic of preserving the full US-ASCII range: US-ASCII characters are encoded in one octet having the usual US-ASCII value, and any octet with such a value can only be an US-ASCII character.This provides compatibility with file systems, parsers and other software that rely on US-ASCII values but are transparent to other values.
 
RFC 2048 Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Part Four: Registration Procedures

Obsoleted by:RFC 4288, RFC 4289
Updated by:RFC 3023
Status:BEST CURRENT PRACTICE
STD 11, RFC 822, defines a message representation protocol specifying considerable detail about US-ASCII message headers, and leaves the message content, or message body, as flat US-ASCII text. This set of documents, collectively called the Multipurpose Internet MailExtensions, or MIME, redefines the format of messages to allow for

(1) textual message bodies in character sets other thanUS-ASCII,

(2) an extensible set of different formats for non-textual message bodies,

(3) multi-part message bodies, and

(4) textual header information in character sets other thanUS-ASCII.

These documents are based on earlier work documented in RFC 934, STD11, and RFC 1049, but extends and revises them. Because RFC 822 said so little about message bodies, these documents are largely orthogonal to (rather than a revision of) RFC 822.

This fourth document, RFC 2048, specifies various IANA registration procedures for the following MIME facilities:

(1) media types,

(2) external body access types,

(3) content-transfer-encodings.

Registration of character sets for use in MIME is covered elsewhere and is no longer addressed by this document.

These documents are revisions of RFCs 1521 and 1522, which themselves were revisions of RFCs 1341 and 1342. An appendix in RFC 2049 describes differences and changes from previous versions.

RFC 2060 Internet Message Access Protocol - Version 4rev1
 
Authors:M. Crispin.
Date:December 1996
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.

 
RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1

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 2070 Internationalization of the Hypertext Markup Language

Date:January 1997
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 2854
Status:HISTORIC
The Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is a markup language used to create hypertext documents that are platform independent. Initially, the application of HTML on the World Wide Web was seriously restricted by its reliance on the ISO-8859-1 coded character set, which is appropriate only for Western European languages. Despite this restriction, HTML has been widely used with other languages, using other coded character sets or character encodings, at the expense of interoperability.

This document is meant to address the issue of the internationalization (i18n, i followed by 18 letters followed by n) of HTML by extending the specification of HTML and giving additional recommendations for proper internationalization support. A foremost consideration is to make sure that HTML remains a valid application of SGML, while enabling its use with all languages of the world.

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.

Date:January 1997
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 2195
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

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".

Obsoleted by:RFC 2553
Status:INFORMATIONAL
The de facto standard application program interface (API) for TCP/IP applications is the "sockets" interface. Although this API was developed for Unix in the early 1980s it has also been implemented on a wide variety of non-Unix systems. TCP/IP applications written using the sockets API have in the past enjoyed a high degree of portability and we would like the same portability with IPv6 applications. But changes are required to the sockets API to supportIPv6 and this memo describes these changes. These include a new socket address structure to carry IPv6 addresses, new address conversion functions, and some new socket options. These extensions are designed to provide access to the basic IPv6 features required byTCP and UDP applications, including multicasting, while introducing a minimum of change into the system and providing complete compatibility for existing IPv4 applications. Additional extensions for advanced IPv6 features (raw sockets and access to the IPv6 extension headers) are defined in another document [5].

Obsoleted by:RFC 2328
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
This memo documents version 2 of the OSPF protocol. OSPF is a link- state routing protocol. It is designed to be run internal to a single Autonomous System. Each OSPF router maintains an identical database describing the Autonomous System's topology. From this database, a routing table is calculated by constructing a shortest- path tree.

OSPF recalculates routes quickly in the face of topological changes, utilizing a minimum of routing protocol traffic. OSPF provides support for equal-cost multipath. An area routing capability is provided, enabling an additional level of routing protection and a reduction in routing protocol traffic. In addition, all OSPF routing protocol exchanges are authenticated.

The differences between this memo and RFC 1583 are explained inAppendix G. All differences are backward-compatible in nature.Implementations of this memo and of RFC 1583 will interoperate.

ISO/IEC 10646-1 defines a multi-octet character set called theUniversal Character Set (UCS) which encompasses most of the world's writing systems. Multi-octet characters, however, are not compatible with many current applications and protocols, and this has led to the development of a few so-called UCS transformation formats (UTF), each with different characteristics. UTF-8, the object of this memo, has the characteristic of preserving the full US-ASCII range, providing compatibility with file systems, parsers and other software that rely on US-ASCII values but are transparent to other values. This memo updates and replaces RFC 2044, in particular addressing the question of versions of the relevant standards.

RFC 2292 Advanced Sockets API for IPv6
 
Authors:W. Stevens, M. Thomas.
Date:February 1998
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 3542
Status:INFORMATIONAL
Specifications are in progress for changes to the sockets API to support IP version 6 [RFC-2133]. These changes are for TCP and UDP- based applications and will support most end-user applications in use today: Telnet and FTP clients and servers, HTTP clients and servers, and the like.

But another class of applications exists that will also be run underIPv6. We call these "advanced" applications and today this includes programs such as Ping, Traceroute, routing daemons, multicast routing daemons, router discovery daemons, and the like. The API feature typically used by these programs that make them "advanced" is a raw socket to access ICMPv4, IGMPv4, or IPv4, along with some knowledge of the packet header formats used by these protocols. To provide portability for applications that use raw sockets under IPv6, some standardization is needed for the advanced API features.

There are other features of IPv6 that some applications will need to access: interface identification (specifying the outgoing interface and determining the incoming interface) and IPv6 extension headers that are not addressed in [RFC-2133]: Hop-by-Hop options, Destination options, and the Routing header (source routing). This document provides API access to these features too.

 
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 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 pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 3768
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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 pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 3024
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

Obsoleted by:RFC 4306
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
This memo describes a protocol utilizing security concepts necessary for establishing Security Associations (SA) and cryptographic keys in an Internet environment. A Security Association protocol that negotiates, establishes, modifies and deletes Security Associations and their attributes is required for an evolving Internet, where there will be numerous security mechanisms and several options for each security mechanism. The key management protocol must be robust in order to handle public key generation for the Internet community at large and private key requirements for those private networks with that requirement. The Internet Security Association and KeyManagement Protocol (ISAKMP) defines the procedures for authenticating a communicating peer, creation and management ofSecurity Associations, key generation techniques, and threat mitigation (e.g. denial of service and replay attacks). All of these are necessary to establish and maintain secure communications(via IP Security Service or any other security protocol) in anInternet environment.

Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 5226
Updated by:RFC 3692
Status:BEST CURRENT PRACTICE
Many protocols make use of identifiers consisting of constants and other well-known values. Even after a protocol has been defined and deployment has begun, new values may need to be assigned (e.g., for a new option type in DHCP, or a new encryption or authentication algorithm for IPSec). To insure that such quantities have consistent values and interpretations in different implementations, their assignment must be administered by a central authority. For IETF protocols, that role is provided by the Internet Assigned NumbersAuthority (IANA).

In order for the IANA to manage a given name space prudently, it needs guidelines describing the conditions under which new values can be assigned. If the IANA is expected to play a role in the management of a name space, the IANA must be given clear and concise instructions describing that role. This document discusses issues that should be considered in formulating a policy for assigning values to a name space and provides guidelines to document authors on the specific text that must be included in documents that place demands on the IANA.

RFC 2445 Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification (iCalendar)
 
Authors:F. Dawson, D. Stenerson.
Date:November 1998
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 5545
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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
 
Authors:S. Silverberg, S. Mansour, F. Dawson, R. Hopson.
Date:November 1998
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 5546
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

RFC 2481 A Proposal to add Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to IP
 
Authors:K. Ramakrishnan, S. Floyd.
Date:January 1999
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 3168
Status:EXPERIMENTAL
This note describes a proposed addition of ECN (Explicit CongestionNotification) to IP. TCP is currently the dominant transport protocol used in the Internet. We begin by describing TCP's use of packet drops as an indication of congestion. Next we argue that with the addition of active queue management (e.g., RED) to the Internet infrastructure, where routers detect congestion before the queue overflows, routers are no longer limited to packet drops as an indication of congestion. Routers could instead set a CongestionExperienced (CE) bit in the packet header of packets from ECN-capable transport protocols. We describe when the CE bit would be set in the routers, and describe what modifications would be needed to TCP to make it ECN-capable. Modifications to other transport protocols(e.g., unreliable unicast or multicast, reliable multicast, other reliable unicast transport protocols) could be considered as those protocols are developed and advance through the standards process.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

Obsoleted by:RFC 4364
Status:INFORMATIONAL
This document describes a method by which a Service Provider with anIP backbone may provide VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) for its customers. MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is used for forwarding packets over the backbone, and BGP (Border GatewayProtocol) is used for distributing routes over the backbone. The primary goal of this method is to support the outsourcing of IP backbone services for enterprise networks. It does so in a manner which is simple for the enterprise, while still scalable and flexible for the Service Provider, and while allowing the Service Provider to add value. These techniques can also be used to provide a VPN which itself provides IP service to customers.

Status:INFORMATIONAL
The de facto standard application program interface (API) for TCP/IP applications is the "sockets" interface. Although this API was developed for Unix in the early 1980s it has also been implemented on a wide variety of non-Unix systems. TCP/IP applications written using the sockets API have in the past enjoyed a high degree of portability and we would like the same portability with IPv6 applications. But changes are required to the sockets API to supportIPv6 and this memo describes these changes. These include a new socket address structure to carry IPv6 addresses, new address conversion functions, and some new socket options. These extensions are designed to provide access to the basic IPv6 features required byTCP and UDP applications, including multicasting, while introducing a minimum of change into the system and providing complete compatibility for existing IPv4 applications. Additional extensions for advanced IPv6 features (raw sockets and access to the IPv6 extension headers) are defined in another document [4].

Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 2910
Status:EXPERIMENTAL
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 HTTP a message body whose Content-Type is "application/ipp".

The full set of IPP documents includes:

Design Goals for an Internet Printing Protocol [RFC2567]Rationale for the Structure and Model and Protocol for theInternet Printing Protocol [RFC2568]Internet Printing Protocol/1.0: Model and Semantics [RFC2566]Internet Printing Protocol/1.0: Encoding and Transport (this document)Internet Printing Protocol/1.0: 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/1.0. Operator and administrator requirements are out of scope for version 1.0.

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 specifications, and gives background and rationale for theIETF working group's major decisions.

The document, "Internet Printing Protocol/1.0: 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.

This document "Internet Printing Protocol/1.0: 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.

The "Internet Printing Protocol/1.0: Encoding and Transport" document is a formal mapping of the abstract operations and attributes defined in the model document onto HTTP/1.1. It defines the encoding rules for a new Internet media type called "application/ipp".

The "Internet Printing Protocol/1.0: Implementer's Guide" document gives insight and advice to implementers of IPP clients and IPP objects. It is intended to help them understand IPP/1.0 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 2581 [RFC2581] explicitly allows certain modifications of these algorithms, including modifications that use the TCP Selective Acknowledgement (SACK) option [MMFR96], and modifications that respond to "partial acknowledgments" (ACKs which cover new data, but not all the data outstanding when loss was detected) in the absence of SACK. This document describes a specific algorithm for responding to partial acknowledgments, referred to asNewReno. This response to partial acknowledgments was first proposed by Janey Hoe in [Hoe95].

RFC 2604 Wireless Device Configuration (OTASP/OTAPA) via ACAP
 
Authors:R. Gellens.
Date:June 1999
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 2636
Status:INFORMATIONAL
Wireless carriers today are faced with creating more efficient distribution channels, increasing customer satisfaction, while also improving margin and profitability. Industry trends are pushing the sale of handsets further into the retail channel. The cost and effort of provisioning handsets, activating users, and updating handset parameters can be greatly reduced by using over-the-air activation mechanisms. A comprehensive and extensible means for over-the-air provisioning and handset parameter updating is required.

One approach is to purchase EIA/TIA/IS-683A (Over-the-air ServiceProvisioning of Mobile Stations in Spread Spectrum Systems) equipment. The cost of this has led carriers to seek alternative solutions. A very viable means for providing over-the-air (OTA) provisioning is to leverage the rollout of IS-707 data services equipment, which most carriers are in the process of deploying. This paper presents an approach to OTA provisioning that utilizes the deployment of IS-707 to deliver OTA provisioning and parameter upgrading.

IS-707 data services makes available several methods of providing over-the-air provisioning and parameter updating. A well thought-out approach utilizing Internet-based open standard mechanisms can provide an extensible platform for further carrier service offerings, enhanced interoperability among back-end services, and vendor independence.

This paper describes a viable and attractive means to provideOTASP/OTAPA via IS-707, using the ACAP [ACAP] protocol.

RFC 2639 Internet Printing Protocol/1.0: Implementer's Guide
 
Authors:T. Hastings, C. Manros.
Date:July 1999
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 3196
Status:INFORMATIONAL
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 contains information that supplements the IPP Model and Semantics [RFC2566] and the IPP Transport and Encoding [RFC2565] documents. It is intended to help implementers understand IPP/1.0 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 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/1.0: Model and Semantics [RFC2566]Internet Printing Protocol/1.0: Encoding and Transport [RFC2565]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. The design goals document calls out a subset of end user requirements that are satisfied in IPP/1.0. Operator and administrator requirements are out of scope for version 1.0.

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 specifications, and gives background and rationale for theIETF working group's major decisions.

The document, "Internet Printing Protocol/1.0: Model and Semantics", describes a simplified model with abstract objects, their attributes, and their operations. The model introduces a Printer and a Job. TheJob supports multiple documents per Job. The model document also addresses how security, internationalization, and directory issues are addressed.

The document, "Internet Printing Protocol/1.0: Encoding andTransport", is a formal mapping of the abstract operations and attributes defined in the model document onto HTTP/1.1. It also defines the encoding rules for a new Internet media type called"application/ipp".

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

RFC 2740 OSPF for IPv6
 
Authors:R. Coltun, D. Ferguson, J. Moy.
Date:December 1999
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 5340
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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 2751 Signaled Preemption Priority Policy Element

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.

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.
 
RFC 2766 Network Address Translation - Protocol Translation (NAT-PT)
 
Authors:G. Tsirtsis, P. Srisuresh.
Date:February 2000
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 4966
Updated by:RFC 3152
Status:HISTORIC
This document specifies an IPv4-to-IPv6 transition mechanism, in addition to those already specified in [TRANS]. This solution attempts to provide transparent routing, as defined in [NAT-TERM], to end-nodes in V6 realm trying to communicate with end-nodes in V4 realm and vice versa. This is achieved using a combination of NetworkAddress Translation and Protocol Translation. The scheme described does not mandate dual-stacks (i.e., IPv4 as well as V6 protocol support) or special purpose routing requirements (such as requiring tunneling support) on end nodes. This scheme is based on a combination of address translation theme as described in [NAT-TERM] and V6/V4 protocol translation theme as described in [SIIT].

RFC 2796 BGP Route Reflection - An Alternative to Full Mesh IBGP
 
Authors:T. Bates, R. Chandra, E. Chen.
Date:April 2000
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 4456
Updates:RFC 1966
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

 
RFC 2797 Certificate Management Messages over CMS
 
Authors:M. Myers, X. Liu, J. Schaad, J. Weinstein.
Date:April 2000
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 5272
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

RFC 2821 Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

Obsoletes:RFC 0821, RFC 0974, RFC 1869, STD 0010
Obsoleted by:RFC 5321
Updated by:RFC 5336
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

Obsoleted by:RFC 4949
Status:INFORMATIONAL
This Glossary (191 pages of definitions and 13 pages of references) provides abbreviations, explanations, and recommendations for use of information system security terminology. The intent is to improve the comprehensibility of writing that deals with Internet security, particularly Internet Standards documents (ISDs). To avoid confusion,ISDs should use the same term or definition whenever the same concept is mentioned. To improve international understanding, ISDs should use terms in their plainest, dictionary sense. ISDs should use terms established in standards documents and other well-founded publications and should avoid substituting private or newly made-up terms. ISDs should avoid terms that are proprietary or otherwise favor a particular vendor, or that create a bias toward a particular security technology or mechanism versus other, competing techniques that already exist or might be developed in the future.

RFC 2877 5250 Telnet Enhancements
 
Authors:T. Murphy Jr., P. Rieth, J. Stevens.
Date:July 2000
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 4777
Updates:RFC 1205
Status:INFORMATIONAL
This memo describes the interface to the IBM 5250 Telnet server that allows client Telnet to request a Telnet terminal or printer session using a specific device name. If a requested device name is not available, a method to retry the request using a new device name is described. Methods to request specific Telnet session settings and auto-signon function are also described.

By allowing a Telnet client to select the device name, the 5250Telnet server opens the door for applications to set and/or extract useful information about the Telnet client. Some possibilities are1) selecting a customized device name associated with a particular user profile name for National Language Support or subsystem routing,2) connecting PC and network printers as clients and 3) auto-signon using clear-text or DES-encrypted password exchange.

Applications may need to use system API's on the AS/400 in order to extract Telnet session settings from the device name description.Refer to the Retrieve Device Description (QDCRDEVD) API described in the AS/400 System API book [3] on how to extract information using the DEVD0600 and DEVD1100 templates.

This memo describes how the IBM 5250 Telnet server supports WorkStation Function (WSF) printers using 5250 Display Station Pass-Through. A response code is returned by the Telnet server to indicate success or failure of the WSF printer session.

Date:September 2000
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 3401, RFC 3402, RFC 3403, RFC 3404
Updates:RFC 2168
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

This document describes the Stream Control Transmission Protocol(SCTP). SCTP is designed to transport PSTN signaling messages overIP 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.

RFC 2966 Domain-wide Prefix Distribution with Two-Level IS-IS
 
Authors:T. Li, T. Przygienda, H. Smit.
Date:October 2000
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 5302
Status:INFORMATIONAL
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 [2].

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 insure 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.

 
RFC 2976 The SIP INFO Method
 
Authors:S. Donovan.
Date:October 2000
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 6086
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
This document proposes an extension to the Session InitiationProtocol (SIP). This extension adds the INFO method to the SIP protocol. The intent of the INFO method is to allow for the carrying of session related control information that is generated during a session. One example of such session control information is ISUP andISDN signaling messages used to control telephony call services.

This and other example uses of the INFO method may be standardized in the future.

Of course, attention has been applied to making NFS version 4 operate well in an Internet environment.
 
RFC 3012 Mobile IPv4 Challenge/Response Extensions
 
Authors:C. Perkins, P. Calhoun.
Date:November 2000
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 4721
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

Authors:L. Andersson, P. Doolan, N. Feldman, A. Fredette, B. Thomas.
Date:January 2001
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 5036
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

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

 
RFC 3041 Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPv6
 
Authors:T. Narten, R. Draves.
Date:January 2001
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 4941
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

Obsoletes:RFC 1965
Obsoleted by:RFC 5065
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

RFC 3373 Three-Way Handshake for Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) Point-to-Point Adjacencies
 
Authors:D. Katz, R. Saluja.
Date:September 2002
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 5303
Status:INFORMATIONAL
The IS-IS routing protocol (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 as information to the Internet community in order to allow interoperable implementations to be built by other vendors.

RFC 3445 Limiting the Scope of the KEY Resource Record (RR)
 
Authors:D. Massey, S. Rose.
Date:December 2002
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 4033, RFC 4034, RFC 4035
Updates:RFC 2535
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
Simple Traversal of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Through NetworkAddress Translators (NATs) (STUN) is a lightweight protocol that allows applications to discover the presence and types of NATs and firewalls between them and the public Internet. It also provides the ability for applications to determine the public Internet Protocol(IP) addresses allocated to them by the NAT. STUN works with many existing NATs, and does not require any special behavior from them.As a result, it allows a wide variety of applications to work through existing NAT infrastructure.
 
RFC 3490 Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA)
 
Authors:P. Faltstrom, P. Hoffman, A. Costello.
Date:March 2003
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 5890, RFC 5891
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

Authors:V. Gill, J. Heasley, D. Meyer.
Date:February 2004
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 5082
Status:EXPERIMENTAL
The use of a packet's Time to Live (TTL) (IPv4) or Hop Limit (IPv6) to protect a protocol stack from CPU-utilization based attacks has been proposed in many settings (see for example, RFC 2461). This document generalizes these techniques for use by other protocols such as BGP (RFC 1771), Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP),Bidirectional Forwarding Detection, and Label Distribution Protocol(LDP) (RFC 3036). While the Generalized TTL Security Mechanism(GTSM) is most effective in protecting directly connected protocol peers, it can also provide a lower level of protection to multi-hop sessions. GTSM is not directly applicable to protocols employing flooding mechanisms (e.g., multicast), and use of multi-hop GTSM should be considered on a case-by-case basis.

RFC 3695 Compact Forward Error Correction (FEC) Schemes
 
Authors:M. Luby, L. Vicisano.
Date:February 2004
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 5445
Status:EXPERIMENTAL
This document introduces some Forward Error Correction (FEC) schemes that supplement the FEC schemes described in RFC 3452. The primary benefits of these additional FEC schemes are that they are designed for reliable bulk delivery of large objects using a more compact FECPayload ID, and they can be used to sequentially deliver blocks of an object of indeterminate length. Thus, they more flexibly support different delivery models with less packet header overhead.

This document also describes the Fully-Specified FEC scheme corresponding to FEC Encoding ID 0. This Fully-Specified FEC scheme requires no FEC coding and is introduced primarily to allow simple interoperability testing between different implementations of protocol instantiations that use the FEC building block.

Updated by:RFC 3757, RFC 3845
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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

Obsoleted by:RFC 4033, RFC 4034, RFC 4035
Updates:RFC 3755, RFC 2535
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

RFC 3768 Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
 
Authors:R. Hinden, Ed..
Date:April 2004
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoletes:RFC 2338
Obsoleted by:RFC 5798
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
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 3775 Mobility Support in IPv6
 
Authors:D. Johnson, C. Perkins, J. Arkko.
Date:June 2004
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 6275
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.
 
RFC 3782 The NewReno Modification to TCP's Fast Recovery Algorithm

Obsoleted by:RFC 6582
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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 3940 Negative-acknowledgment (NACK)-Oriented Reliable Multicast (NORM) Protocol
 
Authors:B. Adamson, C. Bormann, M. Handley, J. Macker.
Date:November 2004
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 5740
Status:EXPERIMENTAL
This document describes the messages and procedures of the Negative- acknowledgment (NACK) Oriented Reliable Multicast (NORM) protocol.This protocol is designed to 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 asTransmission 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 repair and other IETF reliable multicast transport (RMT) building blocks in its design.

RFC 4068 Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6
 
Authors:R. Koodli, Ed..
Date:July 2005
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 5268
Status:EXPERIMENTAL
Mobile IPv6 enables a Mobile Node to maintain its connectivity to theInternet 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, and BindingUpdate, is often unacceptable to real-time traffic such as Voice overIP. 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 specification also supplies additional rule definitions and encoding for a core lexical analyzer of the type common to several Internet specifications.
 
RFC 4281 The Codecs Parameter for "Bucket" Media Types
 
Authors:R. Gellens, D. Singer, P. Frojdh.
Date:November 2005
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 6381
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.)

This version of the IKE specification combines the contents of what were previously separate documents, including Internet SecurityAssociation and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP, RFC 2408), IKE (RFC2409), the Internet Domain of Interpretation (DOI, RFC 2407), NetworkAddress Translation (NAT) Traversal, Legacy authentication, and remote address acquisition.

Version 2 of IKE does not interoperate with version 1, but it has enough of the header format in common that both versions can unambiguously run over the same UDP port.

RFC 4330 Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) Version 4 for IPv4, IPv6 and OSI
 
Authors:D. Mills.
Date:January 2006
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoletes:RFC 2030, RFC 1769
Obsoleted by:RFC 5905
Status:INFORMATIONAL
This memorandum describes the Simple Network Time Protocol Version 4(SNTPv4), which is a subset of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) used to synchronize computer clocks in the Internet. SNTPv4 can be used when the ultimate performance of a full NTP implementation based onRFC 1305 is neither needed nor justified. When operating with current and previous NTP and SNTP versions, SNTPv4 requires no changes to the specifications or known implementations, but rather clarifies certain design features that allow operation in a simple, stateless remote-procedure call (RPC) mode with accuracy and reliability expectations similar to the UDP/TIME protocol described in RFC 868.

This memorandum obsoletes RFC 1769, which describes SNTP Version 3(SNTPv3), and RFC 2030, which describes SNTPv4. Its purpose is to correct certain inconsistencies in the previous documents and to clarify header formats and protocol operations for NTPv3 (IPv4) andSNTPv4 (IPv4, IPv6, and OSI), which are also used for SNTP. A further purpose is to provide guidance for home and business client implementations for routers and other consumer devices to protect the server population from abuse. A working knowledge of the NTPv3 specification, RFC 1305, is not required for an implementation ofSNTP.

Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 5420
Updates:RFC 3209, RFC 3473
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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.

RFC 5268 Mobile IPv6 Fast Handovers
 
Authors:R. Koodli, Ed..
Date:June 2008
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoletes:RFC 4068
Obsoleted by:RFC 5568
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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 5335 Internationalized Email Headers
 
Authors:A. Yang, Ed..
Date:September 2008
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 6532
Updates:RFC 2045, RFC 2822
Status:EXPERIMENTAL
Full internationalization of electronic mail requires not only the capabilities to transmit non-ASCII content, to encode selected information in specific header fields, and to use non-ASCII characters in envelope addresses. It also requires being able to express those addresses and the information based on them in mail header fields. This document specifies an experimental variant ofInternet mail that permits the use of Unicode encoded in UTF-8, rather than ASCII, as the base form for Internet email header field.This form is permitted in transmission only if authorized by an SMTP extension, as specified in an associated specification. This specification Updates section 6.4 of RFC 2045 to conform with the requirements.

RFC 5337 Internationalized Delivery Status and Disposition Notifications
 
Authors:C. Newman, A. Melnikov, Ed..
Date:September 2008
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 6533
Updates:RFC 3461, RFC 3462, RFC 3464, RFC 3798
Status:EXPERIMENTAL
Delivery status notifications (DSNs) are critical to the correct operation of an email system. However, the existing Draft Standards(RFC 3461, RFC 3462, RFC 3464) are presently limited to US-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-US-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 experimentally extends RFC 3461, RFC 3464, and RFC3798.

Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 5415
Status:HISTORIC
The popularity of wireless local area networks (WLANs) has led to widespread deployments across different establishments. It has also translated into an increasing scale of the WLANs. Large-scale deployments made of large numbers of wireless termination points(WTPs) and covering substantial areas are increasingly common.

The Wireless LAN Control Protocol (WiCoP) described in this document allows for the control and provisioning of large-scale WLANs. It enables central management of these networks and realizes the objectives set forth for the Control And Provisioning of WirelessAccess Points (CAPWAP).

RFC 5504 Downgrading Mechanism for Email Address Internationalization
 
Authors:K. Fujiwara, Ed., Y. Yoneya, Ed..
Date:March 2009
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 6530
Status:EXPERIMENTAL
Traditional mail systems handle only ASCII characters in SMTP envelope and mail header fields. The Email AddressInternationalization (UTF8SMTP) extension allows UTF-8 characters inSMTP envelope and mail header fields. To avoid rejecting internationalized email messages when a server in the delivery path does not support the UTF8SMTP extension, some sort of converting mechanism is required. This document describes a downgrading mechanism for Email Address Internationalization. Note that this is a way to downgrade, not tunnel. There is no associated up-conversion mechanism, although internationalized email clients might use original internationalized addresses or other data when displaying or replying to downgraded messages.

RFC 5953 Transport Layer Security (TLS) Transport Model for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
 
Authors:W. Hardaker.
Date:August 2010
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 6353
Status:PROPOSED STANDARD
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 6045 Real-time Inter-network Defense (RID)
 
Authors:K. Moriarty.
Date:November 2010
Formats:txt pdf
Obsoleted by:RFC 6545
Status:INFORMATIONAL
Network 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.Network 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.

RID has found use within the international research communities, but has not been widely adopted in other sectors. This publication provides the specification to those communities that have adopted it, and communities currently considering solutions for real-time inter- network defense. The specification may also accelerate development of solutions where different transports or message formats are required by leveraging the data elements and structures specified here.
