- draft-bernstein-ccamp-wson-info
"Routing and Wavelength Assignment Information for Wavelength Switched Optical Networks", Greg Bernstein, 31-Oct-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This memo provides compact encodings for information needed for path computation and wavelength assignment in wavelength switched optical networks. Such encodings can be used in extensions to Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) routing for control of wavelength switched optical networks (WSON).
- draft-berzin-malis-mpls-mobility
"Mobility Support Using MPLS and MP-BGP Signaling", Oleg Berzin, Andrew Malis, 31-Oct-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document describes a new approach to handling user mobility at the network layer in the context of Multiprotocol Label Switched Networks (MPLS). This approach does not rely on the existing IP mobility management protocols such as Mobile IP, and is instead based on the combination of Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) and MPLS. This document proposes to introduce new protocol elements to MP-BGP to achieve Mobility Label distribution at the network control plane and the optimal packet delivery to the mobile node by the network forwarding plane using MPLS.
- draft-giordano-cli-forward-in-call-trx
"CLI forwarding method during call transfer", Daniele Giordano, 31-Oct-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: Many telephony services are IP based and they can use various signaling protocols like H323, SIP, MGCP, MEGACO and owner vendor protocol. This document describe a method to identify and to change the Calling Line Identification (or CLI) field during call forwarding. This method is voice over ip protocol independent. This method can be apply to all voice over ip protocols.

"Initial and Pass Through Authentication Using Kerberos V5 and the GSS- API (IAKERB)", Larry Zhu, Jeffrey Altman, 31-Oct-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document defines extensions to the Kerberos protocol and the GSS-API Kerberos mechanism that enable a GSS-API Kerberos client to exchange messages with the KDC using the GSS-API acceptor as the proxy, by encapsulating the Kerberos messages inside GSS-API tokens. With these extensions a client can obtain Kerberos tickets for services where the KDC is not accessible to the client, but is accessible to the application server.

"BGP/IP VPNs: BGP Support for IPv4 and IPv6 Tunneled Layer Three Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)", Lou Berger, Ronald Bonica, Russ White, Intellectual Property, 24-Oct-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: The basic principles for the control of IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is defined in BGP/MPLS IP VPNs for both IPv4 and IPv6. These definitions are limited to networks and routers that support Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). This document extends BGP based control of IP VPNs to any IP VPN technology that use tunnels that are identified based on IP addresses rather than MPLS labels. Examples of IP tunnel technology include IP-in-IP, GRE, and IPsec tunnels. Support for IPv4 and IPv6 VPNs and tunnels are defined. It is expected that the extensions defined in this document will be most useful in environments where it is not possible to use MPLS, such as in customer provided VPNs.Contents

"Framework for GMPLS and PCE Control of Wavelength Switched Optical Networks", Greg Bernstein, 31-Oct-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This memo provides a framework for applying Generalized Multi- Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) and the Path Computation Element (PCE) architecture to the control of wavelength switched optical networks (WSON). In particular we provide control plane models for key wavelength switched optical network subsystems and processes. The subsystems include wavelength division multiplexed links, tunable laser transmitters, reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADM) and wavelength converters. Lightpath provisioning, in general, requires the routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) process. This process is reviewed and the information requirements, both static and dynamic for this process are presented, along with alternative implementation scenarios that could be realized via GMPLS/PCE and/or extended GMPLS/PCE protocols. This memo does NOT address optical impairments in any depth and focuses on topological elements and path selection constraints that are common across different WSON environments. It is expected that a variety of different techniques will be applied to optical impairments depending on the type of WSON, such as access, metro or long haul.

"Negotiation for IPv6 datagram compression using IPv6 Control Protocol", Srihari Varada, 31-Oct-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) 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. The IPv6 Control Protocol (IPv6CP), which is an NCP for a PPP link, allows for the negotiation of desirable parameters for the IPv6 interface over PPP.
- draft-ietf-mip4-nemo-v4-base
"Network Mobility (NEMO) Extensions for Mobile IPv4", Kent Leung, Gopal Dommety, Vidya Narayanan, Alexandru Petrescu, 31-Oct-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document describes a protocol for supporting Mobile Networks between a Mobile Router and a Home Agent by extending the Mobile IPv4 protocol. A Mobile Router is responsible for the mobility of one or more network segments or subnets moving together. The Mobile Router hides its mobility from the nodes on the mobile network. The nodes on the Mobile Network may be fixed in relationship to the Mobile Router and may not have any mobility function. Extensions to Mobile IPv4 are introduced to support Mobile Networks.
- draft-ietf-mipshop-handover-key
"Distributing a Symmetric FMIPv6 Handover Key using SEND", James Kempf, 31-Oct-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: Fast Mobile IPv6 requires that a Fast Binding Update is secured using a security association shared between an Access Router and a Mobile Node in order to avoid certain attacks. In this document, a method for provisioning a shared key from the Access Router to the Mobile Node is defined to protect this signaling. The Mobile Node generates a public/private key pair using the same public key algorithm as for SEND (RFC 3971). The Mobile Node sends the public key to the Access Router. The Access Router encrypts a shared handover key using the public key and sends it back to the Mobile Node. The Mobile Node decrypts the shared handover key using the matching private key, and the handover key is then available for generating an authenticator on a Fast Binding Update. The Mobile Node and Access Router use the Router Solicitation for Proxy Advertisement and Proxy Router Advertisement from Fast Mobile IPv6 for the key exchange. The key exchange messages are required to have SEND security; that is, the source address is a Cryptographically Generated Address and the messages are signed using the CGA private key of the sending node. This allows the Access Router, prior to providing the shared handover key, to verify the authorization of the Mobile Node to claim the address so that the previous care-of CGA in the Fast Binding Update can act as the name of the key.

"Metrics for the Evaluation of Congestion Control Mechanisms", Intellectual Property, 6-Oct-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document discusses the metrics to be considered in an evaluation of new or modified congestion control mechanisms for the Internet. These include metrics for the evaluation of new transport protocols, of proposed modifications to TCP, of application-level congestion control, and of Active Queue Management (AQM) mechanisms in the router. This document is the first in a series of documents aimed at improving the models that we use in the evaluation of transport protocols. This document is a product of the Transport Modeling Research Group (TMRG), and has received detailed feedback from many members of the Research Group (RG). As the document tries to make clear, there is not necessarily a consensus within the research community (or the IETF community, the vendor community, the operations community, or any other community) about the metrics that congestion control mechanisms should be designed to optimize, in terms of tradeoffs between throughput and delay, fairness between competing flows, and the like. However, we believe that there is a clear consensus that congestion control mechanisms should be evaluated in terms of tradeoffs between a range of metrics, rather than in terms of optimizing for a single metric.

"NFS RDMA Problem Statement", Thomas Talpey, Chet Juszczak, Intellectual Property, 30-Jun-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This draft addresses applying Remote Direct Memory Access to the NFS protocols. NFS implementations historically incur significant overhead due to data copies on end-host systems, as well as other processing overhead. The potential benefits of RDMA to these implementations are explored, and the reasons why RDMA is especially well-suited to NFS and network file protocols in general are evaluated.
