From: The IESG <iesg-secretary@ietf.org>
Subject: Protocol Action: Mobility Support in IPv6 to Proposed Standard
-------------


The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Mobility Support in IPv6'
<draft-ietf-mobileip-ipv6-20.txt> as a Proposed Standard.  This
document is the product of the IP Routing for Wireless/Mobile Hosts
Working Group.  The IESG contact persons are Thomas Narten and Erik
Nordmark.
 
 
Technical Summary
 
This document specifies the Mobile IP protocol for IPv6. Mobile IP
allows a node to move around the internet, yet keep the same
address while continue to communicate transparently with other
nodes as it moves. Each mobile node is 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.

Mobile IP for IPv6 includes a route optimization mechanism that
allows communicating nodes to forward packets directly to each
other without having to relay all traffic via a Home Agent at the
mobile node's home address. Route optimization can be invoked
between arbitrary nodes without the need for some pre-existing
shared security relationship. Route optimization uses a
return-routablity procedure to verify the safety of performing
route optimization.
       
Working Group Summary
 
This document has been under very long development within the WG. It
was brought to the IESG over a year ago, but was sent back to the WG
in order to make changes to the security properties of route
optimization. That led to the development of the return-routability
mechanism.

There is strong support for moving this document forward, and there
continues to be frustration at the length of time this document has
been under development.
 
Protocol Quality
 
This document has been reviewed for the IESG by Thomas Narten.

Subject: Protocol Action: IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture to
	 Proposed Standard
-------------


The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'IP Version 6 Addressing 
Architecture' <draft-ietf-ipngwg-addr-arch-v3-11.txt> as a Proposed 
Standard.  This document is the product of the IP Version 6 Working 
Group.  The IESG contact persons are Thomas Narten and Erik Nordmark.
 
 
Technical Summary
 
This specification defines the addressing architecture of the IP
Version 6 protocol (RFC 2460). The document includes the IPv6
addressing model, text representations of IPv6 addresses, definition
of IPv6 unicast addresses, anycast addresses, and multicast addresses,
and an IPv6 node's required addresses.

Working Group Summary
 
This document was approved by the IESG as a Draft Standard in October,
2002. Subsequently, an appeal was filed regarding the IESG decision,
and the IAB issued a response in which it annulled the IESG approval
for Draft Standard. The IAB response included the following:

        We recommend to the IESG that the current version of the I-D 
	  draft be published as a Proposed Standard.

That is what this protocol action does.

The working group supported the recomendation to publish the current
document as a Proposed Standard.

Subject: Protocol Action: Advice for Internet Subnetwork Designers to
	 BCP
-------------


The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Advice for Internet
Subnetwork Designers' <draft-ietf-pilc-link-design-13.txt> as a BCP.
This document is the product of the Performance Implications of Link
Characteristics Working Group.  The IESG contact persons are Scott
Bradner and Allison Mankin.

 
Technical Summary
 
This document provides advice to the designers of digital
communication equipment, link-layer protocols and packet-switched
subnetworks (collectively referred to as subnetworks) who wish to
support the Internet protocols but who may be unfamiliar with the
Internet architecture and the implications of their design choices on
the performance and efficiency of the Internet.

The document includes among its topics: recommendations about maximum
transmission units and their tradeoffs for slow subnetwork types;
issues with connection-oriented subnetwork designs; recommendations
for multicast capabilities for links; recommendations for reliability,
error control, and their interactions with TCP, as the major reliable
transport protocol in the Internet; recommendations about use of
compression; recommendations about avoidance of significant packet
reordering; and recommendations that both link-level and end-to-end
security be used for their particular benefits.

This document represents a consensus of the members of the IETF
Performance Implications of Link Characteristics (PILC) working
group.

Description of Working Group:

The objective of this working group is to advance the state of NFS
technology by producing specifications to extend the original NFS
Version 4 work (RFC 3010) to provide additional capabilities, as
described below.

o NFS version 4

  Advance the protocol along the standards track, coordinating the
  development of test suites to provide a high level of implementation
  quality. The ONC RPC standards that NFSv4 references must also be
  advanced. This includes work to make NFSv4 and the underlying ONC RPC
  protocol compatible with IPv6.  Specifically, we will advance RFC 
  3010, RFC 1831, RFC 1833 and RFC 2203 to Draft Standard. The working 
  group will help advance related security RFCs, specifically through
  the definition of a method to advance APIs.

o Replication and Migration

  The original working group defined a mechanism for NFS clients and
  servers to support replication and migration of data transparently
  to an application.  Left undefined in the initial work was the
  server back end migration and replication mechanism.  The working
  group will produce a draft submission of a replication/migration
  protocol that supports NFS Version 4 clients - needed to create and
  maintain replicated filesystems as well as migrating filesystems
  from one location to another -  and servers for consideration as
  Proposed Standard.

o Management

  The working group will produce a draft submission for consideration
  as Proposed Standard of a management MIBs to provide better 
  management and administration capabilities for NFS and ONC RPC.

o Minor Versions

  NFS Version 4 contains within it the capability for minor versioning.
  Some discussions within the working group suggest addressing
  additional requirements over the original charter.  The WG will work
  to identify additional requirements for NFSv4 and determine if they
  are appropriate and worthwhile for a minor version.  This work may
  lead to proposals for additional work items.  If it does a specific
  proposal to add these work items to the charter will be forwarded to
  the IESG and IAB.

=================================================
NEW CHARTER WORDING ADDITION:

o RDMA/RDDP enabling
 
The performance benefit of RDMA/RDDP transports in NFS-related
applications, by reducing the overhead of data and metadata
exchange, has been demonstrated sufficiently such that the
working group will pursue in parallel enabling NFS and RPC over
the transport defined by the RDDP working group. The WG will
restrict its initial activities to defining the problem
statement and specifying the requirements for possible
extensions to RPC and NFS (in the context of a minor
revision).

NOTE: [This charter rev cuts out two work items that were not
  progressing at all: the TRACK and GRA families.
  It adds a sub-group after a lot of discussions
  among ourselves and Routing - see the text...this sub-group
  is a part of the xcast work, just the most stable and
  least research-y part of it]


The purpose of this WG is to standardize reliable multicast transport.

Initial efforts have focused solely on the standardization of the
one-to-many transport of large amounts of data. Due to the large
number of applications that fall into this category, and the sometimes
orthogonal requirements these applications exhibit, it is believed
that a "one size fits all" protocol will be unable to meet the
requirements of all applications. In recognition of this observation,
this working group will standardize two protocol instantiations,
initially as Experimental protocols, and then as warranted, in the
standards track, from the following families:

1) A NACK-based protocol.
2) An "Asynchronous Layered Coding protocol that uses Forward Error
      Correction.

In addition, the rmt WG will have a sub-group for a different task.
This sub-group will develop a protocol for a simple unicast
replication service that is specifically designed to address the need
of very-small-scale multicast sessions. The goal of this protocol is
to provide a small-scale replication solution that does not require
per-session state in all parts of the network crossed by the session
traffic, unlike native IP multicast. The applicability of this
protocol is to situations where end-to-end unicast replication is not
appropriate due to bandwidth limitation in some part of the
network (usually last-mile links).

It should be noted that this simple unicast replication work is in a
sub-group because a strict interpretation of this service would
determine that it falls somewhat outside the transport domain (other
than congestion control) and has more routing issues than most of the
other work in rmt. Given that the bulk of the experts who would be
qualified to comment on this work item are already active participants
in the rmt WG, the Routing and Transport Area Directors have concluded
to make an exception and develop it in this working group's sub-group
instead of forming a new working group.

The WG will carry out protocol standardization in general by composing a
a set of RFCs that specify

- building blocks: A set of easily-separable coarse-grained modular
components that are common to multiple protocols along with abstract
APIs that define a building block's access methods and their
arguments.

- protocol instantiations: Specifications that define the necessary
gluing logic and minimal additional functionality required to realize
a working protocol from one or more building blocks. These
specifications will also include an abstract API that defines the
interface between the protocol implementation and an application.

The WG has previously completed work on three documents to assist in
the standardization process. RFC2887 describes the design-space in
which the one-to-many transport protocols will be developed. RFC3048
explains the concepts of building-blocks and protocol
instantiations. RFC3269 provides guidelines to authors of drafts that
specify building-blocks and protocol instantiations.

The WG will generate and submit for standardization drafts of the
following building-blocks for use in the construction of the two
protocols: congestion control, negative acknowledgments, forward error
correction, generic mechanisms for router assist, and to address the
RFC 2357 security requirements.

The WG will also standardize and generate RFCs for the following two
protocol instantiations: A NACK-based protocol, and an Asynchronous
Layered Coding (ALC) protocol that uses Forward Error Correction.
RFC 3450 is the Experimental RFC of the ALC protocol instantiation.

If new requirements are identified that cannot be satisfied with the
building-blocks and protocol instantiations described above, the Area
Directors in consultation with the IESG may add additional
building-blocks and protocol instantiations to the working group
deliverables.

This working group will work closely with the Internet Research Task
Force (IRTF) groups on Reliable Multicast (RMRG) and
Secure Multicast (SMUG), especially for meeting the congestion control
and security requirements mandated by RFC 2357. This working group may
work with the Area Directors to recharter to standardize reliable
multicast for additional scenarios beyond the one-to-many transport of
bulk data once they are sufficiently well understood.

Description of Working Group:

Discussions during 2002 have revealed a significant number of thoughts
about problems that exist with the way the IETF operates. In advance of
trying to change the IETF procedures and rules to deal with these
problems, the IETF should have a clear, agreed description of what
problems we are trying to solve.

This group is charged with producing the document describing these
problems. The analysis of the problem should seek out the root causes 
of the problems as well as the perceived derivative problems.

The intent is that the group will discuss issues on its mailing list,
and that there will be an editing team to produce a clear concise
problem statement on which the group has come to consensus and present
to the IETF as a basis for an IETF consensus.

As a second work item, the group will also produce a proposal for a
process to develop solutions to the problems identified by this working
group.

It is not a part of this group's charter to propose solutions to the
problems.

The work items will be reviewed in IESG plenary at the IETF.
