- Intelligent OSPF Link State Database Exchange (draft-chen-ospf-intelligent-db-exch)
By Huaimo Chen, 2017-07-26 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document presents an intelligent database exchange mechanism for the database exchange procedure in OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. This mechanism is backward compatible. It eliminates the unnecessary database exchanges through using the existing reachability information calculated from the link state database and the un-reachability information about routers recorded. It significantly speeds up the establishment of the full adjacency between two routers in some situations.
- Skinny IPv6 in IPv6 Tunnelling (draft-smith-skinny-ipv6-in-ipv6-tunnelling)
By Mark Smith, 2017-07-26 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This memo proposes a method of tunnelling IPv6 packets inside IPv6 packets with a reduced tunnelling overhead.
Updated Drafts
- Multicast VPN Using BIER (draft-ietf-bier-mvpn)
By Eric Rosen, Mahesh Sivakumar, Sam Aldrin, Andrew Dolganow, Tony Przygienda, 2017-07-26 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: The Multicast Virtual Private Network (MVPN) specifications require the use of multicast tunnels ("P-tunnels") that traverse a Service Provider's backbone network. The P-tunnels are used for carrying multicast traffic across the backbone. A variety of P-tunnel types are supported. Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) is a new architecture that provides optimal multicast forwarding through a "multicast domain", without requiring intermediate routers to maintain any per-flow state or to engage in an explicit tree-building protocol. This document specifies the protocol and procedures that allow MVPN to use BIER as the method of carrying multicast traffic over an SP backbone network.
- Updates to the Opus Audio Codec (draft-ietf-codec-opus-update)
By Jean-Marc Valin, Koen Vos, 2017-07-25 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document addresses minor issues that were found in the specification of the Opus audio codec in RFC 6716.
- BGP Link-State extensions for Segment Routing (draft-ietf-idr-bgp-ls-segment-routing-ext)
By Stefano Previdi, Peter Psenak, Clarence Filsfils, Hannes Gredler, Mach Chen, 2017-07-26 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: Segment Routing (SR) allows for a flexible definition of end-to-end paths within IGP topologies by encoding paths as sequences of topological sub-paths, called "segments". These segments are advertised by the link-state routing protocols (IS-IS, OSPF and OSPFv3).
- Practical Considerations and Implementation Experiences in Securing Smart Object Networks (draft-ietf-lwig-crypto-sensors)
By Mohit Sethi, Jari Arkko, Ari Keranen, Heidi-Maria Back, 2017-07-26 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This memo describes challenges associated with securing resource- constrained smart object devices. The memo describes a possible deployment model suitable for these environments, discusses the availability of cryptographic libraries for small devices, and presents some preliminary experiences in implementing cryptography on small devices using those libraries. Lastly, the memo discusses trade-offs involving different types of security approaches.
- Network Service Header (NSH) (draft-ietf-sfc-nsh)
By Paul Quinn, Uri Elzur, Carlos Pignataro, 2017-07-25 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document describes a Network Service Header (NSH) inserted onto packets or frames to realize service function paths. NSH also provides a mechanism for metadata exchange along the instantiated service paths. NSH is the SFC encapsulation required to support the Service Function Chaining (SFC) architecture (defined in RFC7665).
- A Scalable and Topology-Aware MPLS Dataplane Monitoring System (draft-ietf-spring-oam-usecase)
By Ruediger Geib, Clarence Filsfils, Carlos Pignataro, Nagendra Kumar, 2017-07-25 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document describes features of a path monitoring system and related use cases. Segment based routing enables a scalable and simple method to monitor data plane liveliness of the complete set of paths belonging to a single domain. The MPLS monitoring system adds features to the traditional MPLS Ping and LSP Trace, in a very complementary way. MPLS topology awareness reduces management and control plane involvement of OAM measurements while enabling new OAM features.
- AES-GCM-SIV: Nonce Misuse-Resistant Authenticated Encryption (draft-irtf-cfrg-gcmsiv)
By Shay Gueron, Adam Langley, Yehuda Lindell, 2017-07-26 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This memo specifies two authenticated encryption algorithms that are nonce misuse-resistant - that is that they do not fail catastrophically if a nonce is repeated.
- Secure group communication for CoAP (draft-tiloca-core-multicast-oscoap)
By Marco Tiloca, Goeran Selander, Francesca Palombini, 2017-07-26 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document describes a method for protecting group communication over the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP). The proposed approach relies on Object Security of CoAP (OSCOAP) and the CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) format. All security requirements fulfilled by OSCOAP are maintained for multicast OSCOAP request messages and related unicast OSCOAP response messages. Source authentication of all messages exchanged within the group is ensured, by means of digital signatures produced through private keys of sender devices and embedded in the protected CoAP messages.

- E-TREE Support in EVPN & PBB-EVPN (draft-ietf-bess-evpn-etree): Last Call Requested » In Last Call
By Ali Sajassi, Samer Salam, John Drake, Jim Uttaro, Sami Boutros, Jorge Rabadan, 2017-06-22 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: The Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) has defined a rooted-multipoint Ethernet service known as Ethernet Tree (E-Tree). A solution framework for supporting this service in MPLS networks is proposed in RFC7387 ("A Framework for Ethernet Tree (E-Tree) Service over a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Network"). This document discusses how those functional requirements can be easily met with Ethernet VPN (EVPN) and how EVPN offers a more efficient implementation of these functions. This document makes use of the most significant bit of the scope governed by the IANA registry created by RFC7385, and hence updates RFC7385 accordingly.

- RPKI Validation Reconsidered (draft-ietf-sidr-rpki-validation-reconsidered): Last Call Requested » In Last Call
By Geoff Huston, George Michaelson, Carlos Martinez, Tim Bruijnzeels, Andrew Newton, Daniel Shaw, 2017-06-26 TXT HTML PDF

- EST Extensions (draft-turner-est-extensions): Waiting for Writeup » IESG Evaluation
By Sean Turner, 2017-01-22 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: The EST (Enrollment over Secure Transport) protocol defined a Well- Known URI (Uniform Resource Identifier): /.well-known/est. EST also defined several path components that clients use for PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) services, namely certificate enrollment (e.g., /simpleenroll). In some sense, the services provided by the path components can be thought of as PKI management-related packages. There are additional PKI-related packages a client might need as well as other security-related packages, such as firmware, trust anchors, and symmetric, asymmetric, and encrypted keys. This document also specifies the PAL (Package Availability List), which is an XML (Extensible Markup Language) file or JSON (Javascript Object Notation) object that clients use to retrieve packages available and authorized for them. This document extends the EST server path components to provide these additional services.

- Clarifications for when to use the name-addr production in SIP messages (draft-ietf-sipcore-name-addr-guidance): » AUTH48
By Robert Sparks, 2017-06-01 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: RFC3261 constrained several SIP header fields whose grammar contains the "name-addr / addr-spec" alternative to use name-addr when certain characters appear. Unfortunately it expressed the constraints with prose copied into each header field definition, and at least one header field was missed. Further, the constraint has not been copied into documents defining extension headers whose grammar contains the alternative.
