- Transmission of IPv6 Packets over IEEE 802.11 Networks in mode Outside the Context of a Basic Service Set (IPv6-over-80211ocb) (draft-ietf-ipwave-ipv6-over-80211ocb)
By Alexandre Petrescu, Nabil Benamar, Jerome Haerri, Christian Huitema, Jong-Hyouk Lee, Thierry Ernst, Tony Li, 2017-08-18 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: In order to transmit IPv6 packets on IEEE 802.11 networks run outside the context of a basic service set (OCB, earlier "802.11p") there is a need to define a few parameters such as the recommended Maximum Transmission Unit size, the header format preceding the IPv6 header, the Type value within it, and others. This document describes these parameters for IPv6 and IEEE 802.11 OCB networks; it portrays the layering of IPv6 on 802.11 OCB similarly to other known 802.11 and Ethernet layers - by using an Ethernet Adaptation Layer.

- Happy Eyeballs Version 2: Better Connectivity Using Concurrency (draft-ietf-v6ops-rfc6555bis)
By David Schinazi, Tommy Pauly, 2017-08-18 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: Many communication protocols operated over the modern Internet use host names. These often resolve to multiple IP addresses, each of which may have different performance and connectivity characteristics. Since specific addresses or address families (IPv4 or IPv6) may be blocked, broken, or sub-optimal on a network, clients that attempt multiple connections in parallel have a higher chance of establishing a connection sooner. This document specifies requirements for algorithms that reduce this user-visible delay and provides an example algorithm.

- IETF Community Hubs (draft-atlas-community-hubs)
By Alia Atlas, 2017-02-16 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: IETF Community Hubs are geographically-focused groups that facilitate participation in IETF activities. An IETF Community Hub may have different focuses, depending upon the interests of those participating, such as cross-area learning, outreach, mentoring, problem refinement, implementation and interop testing, and social. An IETF Community Hub's focuses and the energy of its coordinators will determine what types of activities are organized. Sample activities may include sessions of technical talks, social get- togethers, remote hubs during some IETF WG meetings, hackathons, etc.
- Internet Research Labs (draft-chowbat-irl)
By harish@nixi.in, Mohit Batra, Nalini Elkins, 2017-02-15 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: Many people learn technical concepts best in a hands-on environment, and Internet protocols and standards are no exception. Internet Research Labs (IRL) will facilitate a platform and encourage the technical community (seasoned professionals and newcomers alike) to discuss, collaborate, design and develop utilities, ideas, sample code and solutions that show practical implementations (Proof of Concept) of existing IETF standards. These labs may also be used by the IETF Mentoring Program and/or EDU teams for hands-on training to mentees or newcomers. This base draft intends to provide a high-level overview of the concept of Internet Research Labs in terms of objectives, requirements, challenges and deliverables without going into details of a specific lab, technology or an IETF Working Group (WG). After this draft matures and gains traction within the IETF community, we foresee more and more Internet drafts for the specific labs.
- Support for Series in iCalendar (draft-douglass-icalendar-series)

- Data providing service definition, concept, and use-cases (draft-ds-overview)
By Eui-Nam Huh, gawon@khu.ac.kr, Yunkon Kim, Jintaek Kim, 2017-02-15 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: The standard defines terminologies and describes ecosystem for data providing service. In order to build unified data environment from the dispersed data, data providing service is necessary for big data service. Therefore, this standard contributes to form common data providing ecosystem.
- ANIMA Intent Policy and Format (draft-du-anima-an-intent)
By Zongpeng Du, Sheng Jiang, Jeferson Nobre, Laurent Ciavaglia, Michael Behringer, 2017-02-14 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: One of the goals of autonomic networking is to simplify the management of networks by human operators. Intent Based Networking (IBN) is a possible approach to realize this goal. With IBN, the operator indicates to the network what to do (i.e. her intent) and not how to do it. In the field of Policy Based Management (PBM), the concept of intent is called a declarative policy. This document proposes a refinement of the intent concept initially defined in [RFC7575] for autonomic networks by providing a more complete definition, a life-cycle, some use cases and a tentative format of the ANIMA Intent Policy.

- Session Signaling for Controlling Multiple Streams for Telepresence (CLUE) (draft-ietf-clue-signaling): AD Evaluation::Revised I-D Needed » ::AD Followup
By Paul Kyzivat, Lennard Xiao, Christian Groves, Robert Hansen, 2017-08-20 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document specifies how CLUE-specific signaling such as the CLUE protocol and the CLUE data channel are used in conjunction with each other and with existing signaling mechanisms such as SIP and SDP to produce a telepresence call.
- Deprecate 3DES and RC4 in Kerberos (draft-ietf-curdle-des-des-des-die-die-die): Waiting for Writeup » IESG Evaluation
By Benjamin Kaduk, Michiko Short, 2017-07-30 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: The 3DES and RC4 encryption types are steadily weakening in cryptographic strength, and the deprecation process should be begun for their use in Kerberos. Accordingly, RFC 4757 is moved to Obsolete status, as none of the encryption types it specifies should be used, and RFC 3961 is updated to note the deprecation of the triple-DES encryption types.
- Increase SSH minimum recommended DH modulus size to 2048 bits (draft-ietf-curdle-ssh-dh-group-exchange): Waiting for Writeup » IESG Evaluation
By Loganaden Velvindron, Mark Baushke, 2017-07-17 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: The Diffie-Hellman (DH) Group Exchange for the Secure Shell (SSH) Transport layer Protocol specifies that servers and clients should support groups with a modulus length of k bits, where the recommended minimum value is 1024 bits. Recent security research has shown that a minimum value of 1024 bits is insufficient against state-sponsored actors, and possibly an organization with enough computing resources. As such, this document formally updates the specification such that the minimum recommended value for k is 2048 bits and the group size is 2048 bits at minimum. This RFC updates RFC4419 which allowed for DH moduli less than 2048 bits.

By Nik Tomkinson, Nathaniel Borenstein, 2017-08-18 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document defines the multipart/multilingual content type, which is an addition to the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) standard to make it possible to send one message that contains multiple language versions of the same information. The translations would be identified by a language tag and selected by the email client based on a user's language settings.
