fwd: New Version Notification for draft-kiesel-mmusic-firewall-sip-00

Hi,
just in case anyone still reading this list:

(announcement also sent to NSIS and MMUSIC lists)

The IETF has worked on several architectures and protocols for dynamic
control of firewalls, namely MIDCOM and NSIS. This draft examines how
they work together with SIP, especially if something goes wrong. The
conclusion is basically that the normal SIP mechanisms are not
sufficient to handle all error conditions in a reasonable way, and
therefore a new SIP precondition should be standardized.
This would be the turf of the mmusic WG, therefore comments should
go to the mmusic list.

Thanks,
Sebastian

WG Action: Conclusion of Middlebox Communication (midcom)

The Middlebox Communication working group (midcom) in the Transport Area
has concluded.

The IESG contact persons are Magnus Westerlund and Lars Eggert.

The mailing list will remain active.

The MIDCOM WG has completed its chartered tasks, which primarily
regards control of middlebox such as firewalls and NAT. The WG has
produced documents that:

- Describe the architecture and framework (RFC 3303)

- Evaluate existing IETF protocols for usage for
middlebox control (RFC 4097)

- Specify a middlebox communication protocol
(RFC 5189 and RFC 5190)

This concludes the WG with a big thanks to the WG chair and the authors
and WG participants. The mailing list will be kept open for some
additional time.

WG has finished its work

Hi,

I would like to thank the authors and the chair for their work in 
completing the chartered items. I will now close the WG, but keep the 
mailing list at least for some time.

Cheers

configuring middleboxes, such as firewalls and network address 
translators, in order to enable communication across these devices.  
The definitions of managed objects in this documents follow closely 
the MIDCOM semantics defined in RFC 5189.  [STANDARDS TRACK]

RFC 5189 on Middlebox Communication (MIDCOM) Protocol Semantics


A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries.

        
        RFC 5189

        URL:        http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5189.txt

This document specifies semantics for a Middlebox Communication (MIDCOM)
protocol to be used by MIDCOM agents for interacting with middleboxes 
such as firewalls and Network Address Translators (NATs).  The semantics discussion does not include any
specification of a concrete syntax or a transport protocol.  However, a concrete protocol is expected to
implement the specified semantics or, more likely, a superset of it.  The MIDCOM protocol semantics is
derived from the MIDCOM requirements, from the 
MIDCOM framework, and from working group decisions.  This document obsoletes RFC 3989.  [STANDARDS TRACK]

Protocol Action: 'Middlebox Communications (MIDCOM) Protocol Semantics' to Proposed Standard

The IESG has approved the following document:

- 'Middlebox Communications (MIDCOM) Protocol Semantics '
   <draft-ietf-midcom-rfc3989-bis-02.txt> as a Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the Middlebox Communication Working 
Group. 

The IESG contact persons are Magnus Westerlund and Lars Eggert.

A URL of this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-midcom-rfc3989-bis-02.txt

Technical Summary

   This memo specifies semantics for a Middlebox Communication (MIDCOM)
   protocol to be used by MIDCOM agents for interacting with middleboxes
   such as firewalls and Network Address Translators (NATs).  The
   semantics discussion does not include any specification of a concrete
   syntax or a transport protocol. However the implementation of the 
   sematics in draft-ietf-midcom-mib does require the sematics 
   description as normative reference. Therefore the semantics 
   declaration is reclassified from informational to proposed standard.

Working Group Summary

   There is consensus in the WG to reclassify this document to proposed 
   standard to provide the necessary normative language for 
   draft-ietf-midcom-mib.

Protocol Action: 'Definitions of Managed Objects for Middlebox Communication' to Proposed Standard

The IESG has approved the following document:

- 'Definitions of Managed Objects for Middlebox Communication '
   <draft-ietf-midcom-mib-11.txt> as a Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the Middlebox Communication Working 
Group. 

The IESG contact persons are Magnus Westerlund and Lars Eggert.

A URL of this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-midcom-mib-11.txt

Technical summary:

The midcom working group was chartered to develop a protocol to
send requests from network endpoints/application participants to
network devices, initially focusing on firewalls and NATs.  The
charter required that the working group reuse an existing IETF
protocol if possible, and the working group followed an evaluation
process described in RFC 4097.  The protocol that best met
the evaluation criteria was SNMPv2.

The document being submitted for publication is the definition of
a MIB to be used to communicate pinhole requests to a firewall and
NAT table mapping requests to a NAT.

Working group summary:

There is working group consensus that this document is ready to
