- Extensible Binary Meta Language (draft-ietf-cellar-ebml)
By Steve <>, Dave <>, Moritz <>, 2016-09-23 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document defines the Extensible Binary Meta Language (EBML) format as a genearlized file format for any type of data in a hierarchical form. EBML is designed as a binary equivalent to XML and utilizes a storage-efficient approach to building nested Elements with identifiers, lengths, and values. Similar to how an XML Schema defines the structure and semantics of an XML Document, this document defines an EBML Schema to convey the semantics of an EBML Document.
- Large BGP Communities (draft-ietf-idr-large-community)
By Jakob Heitz, Keyur Patel, Job Snijders, Ignas Bagdonas, Adam Simpson, 2016-09-23 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: The BGP Communities Attribute [RFC1997] is heavily used by operators, but is inadequate to represent large enough values, particularly Four-octet Autonomous System numbers [RFC6793] plus additional values. This document describes an extension to BGP [RFC4271] to address this need with a new extended form of the BGP community Attribute.

- Distributed Mobility Anchoring (draft-ietf-dmm-distributed-mobility-anchoring)
By Anthony Chan, Xinpeng Wei, Jong-Hyouk Lee, Seil Jeon, Alexandre Petrescu, Fred Templin, 2016-09-24 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document defines distributed mobility anchoring to meet diverse mobility needs in 5G Wireless and beyond. Multiple anchors and nodes with mobility functions work together to provide IP mobility support. A network or network slice may be configured with distributed mobility anchoring depending on the needs of mobility support. In the distributed mobility anchoring environment, multiple anchors are available for mid-session switching of an IP prefix anchor. Without an ongoing session, i.e., no IP session continuity required, a flow of a mobile node can be re-started using a new IP prefix which is allocated from a new network of the mobile node and is therefore anchored to the new network. With an ongoing session, the anchoring of the prior IP prefix may be relocated to the new network to enable IP session continuity.
- Next-Generation Vehicle-Initiated Emergency Calls (draft-ietf-ecrit-car-crash)
By Randall Gellens, Brian Rosen, Hannes Tschofenig, 2016-09-25 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document describes how to use IP-based emergency services mechanisms to support the next generation of emergency calls placed by vehicles (automatically in the event of a crash or serious incident, or manually invoked by a vehicle occupant) and conveying vehicle, sensor, and location data related to the crash or incident. Such calls are often referred to as "Automatic Crash Notification" (ACN), or "Advanced Automatic Crash Notification" (AACN), even in the case of manual trigger. The "Advanced" qualifier refers to the ability to carry a richer set of data.
- IPv6 Performance and Diagnostic Metrics (PDM) Destination Option (draft-ietf-ippm-6man-pdm-option)
By Nalini Elkins, Rob Hamilton, mackermann@bcbsm.com, 2016-09-23 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: To assess performance problems, measurements based on optional sequence numbers and timing may be embedded in each packet. Such measurements may be interpreted in real-time or after the fact. An implementation of the existing IPv6 Destination Options extension header, the Performance and Diagnostic Metrics (PDM) Destination Options extension header as well as the field limits, calculations, and usage of the PDM in measurement are included in this document.
- SDP Fingerprint Attribute Usage Clarifications (draft-ietf-mmusic-4572-update)
By Christer Holmberg, 2016-09-25 TXT HTML PDF

- Kerberos Service Discovery using DNS (draft-mccallum-kitten-krb-service-discovery)
By Nathaniel McCallum, Matt Rogers, 2016-09-23 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document proposes defines a new mechanism for discovering Kerberos services using DNS. This new mechanism extends the mechanism already defined in Kerberos V5 [RFC4120] and has four goals. First, reduce the number of DNS queries required to discover a Kerberos KDC. Second, provide DNS administrators more control over client behavior. Third, provide support for discovery of the MS- KKDCP transport. Fourth, define a discovery procedure for Kerberos password services.
- Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Cause URI parameter for Service Number translation (draft-mohali-dispatch-cause-for-service-number)
By Marianne Mohali, Mary Barnes, 2016-09-24 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: RFC4458 defines a "cause" URI parameter, which may appear in the Request-URI of a SIP request, that is used to indicate a reason why the request arrived to the User Agent Server (UAS) receiving the message. This specification creates a new predefined value for the "cause" URI parameter to cover service number translation for cases of retargeting due to specific service action leading to the translation of a called service access number. This document updates RFC4458.
- Textual Specification for Certificates and Attributes (draft-seantek-certspec)
By Sean Leonard, 2016-09-23 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: Digital certificates are used in many systems and protocols to identify and authenticate parties. This document describes a string format that identifies certificates, along with optional attributes. This string format has been engineered to work without re-encoding in a variety of protocol slots.

- Best Practices for Securing RTP Media Signaled with SIP (draft-peterson-sipbrandy-rtpsec): Active » Replaced by draft-ietf-sipbrandy-rtpsec
By Jon Peterson, Eric Rescorla, Richard Barnes, Russ Housley, 2016-07-08 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: Although the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) includes a suite of security services that has been expanded by numerous specifications over the years, there is no single place that explains how to use SIP to establish confidential media sessions. Additionally, existing mechanisms have some feature gaps that need to be identified and resolved in order for them to address the pervasive monitoring threat model. This specification describes best practices for negotiating confidential media with SIP, including both comprehensive protection solutions which bind the media to SIP-layer identities as well as opportunistic security solutions.
