- NAT traversal for LISP (draft-ermagan-lisp-nat-traversal)
By Vina Ermagan, Dino Farinacci, Darrel Lewis, Fabio Maino, Marc Portoles-Comeras, Jesper Skriver, Chris White, Albert Bresco, Albert Cabellos-Aparicio, 2021-05-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document describes a mechanism for IPv4 NAT traversal for LISP tunnel routers (xTR) and LISP Mobile Nodes (LISP-MN) behind a NAT device. A LISP device both detects the NAT and initializes its state. Forwarding to the LISP device through a NAT is enabled by the LISP Re-encapsulating Tunnel Router (RTR) network element, which acts as an anchor point in the data plane, forwarding traffic from unmodified LISP devices through the NAT.
- Open Digital Asset Protocol (draft-hargreaves-odap)
By Martin Hargreaves, Thomas Hardjono, Rafael Belchior, 2021-05-08 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This memo describes the Open Digital Asset Protocol (ODAP). ODAP is an asset transfer protocol that operates between two gateway devices. The protocol includes a description of virtual or digital assets held on distributed ledgers in an open and interoperable format, a session negotiation part and message passing flows between gateways connecting disparate distributed ledger technologies (DLTs).
- Constrained Resource Identifiers (draft-ietf-core-href)
By Klaus Hartke, Carsten Bormann, 2021-05-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: The Constrained Resource Identifier (CRI) is a complement to the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that serializes the URI components in Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) instead of a sequence of characters. This simplifies parsing, comparison and reference resolution in environments with severe limitations on processing power, code size, and memory size.
- Functional Definition of End-to-End Secure Messaging (draft-muffett-end-to-end-secure-messaging)
By Alec Muffett, 2021-05-07 TXT HTML PDF

- The "RRSERIAL" EDNS option for the SOA serial of a RR's zone (draft-salgado-dnsop-rrserial)
By Hugo Salgado, Mauricio Ereche, 2021-05-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: The "RRSERIAL" EDNS option allows a DNS querier to ask a DNS authoritative server to add a EDNS option in the answer of such query with the SOA serial number field of the origin zone which contains the answered resource record.
- AC-Influenced DF Election per EVI (draft-wang-bess-evpn-ac-df-per-evi)
By Yubao Wang, 2021-05-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: The AC-influenced DF Election (AC-DF) per [RFC8584] is too dependent on EAD/EVI routes. For example, when no failures occured on an ESI, that AC-DF procedures will give incorrect results if no EAD/EVI routes are advertised. But in some light-weighted EVPNs (i.e. PBB EVPNs), no EAD/EVI routes will be advertised at all.

- Protected QUIC Initial Packets (draft-duke-quic-protected-initial)
By Martin Duke, 2021-05-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: QUIC encrypts its Initial Packets using keys derived from well-known constants, meaning that observers can inspect the contents of these packets and successfully spoof them. This document proposes a new version of QUIC that encrypts Initial Packets more securely by leveraging a Public Key distributed via the Domain Name System (DNS) or other out-of-band system.
- RSCA method with Dividing Frequency Slots Area in Space Division Multiplexing Elastic Optical Networks (draft-huang-rsca-sdm-eon)
By Shanguo Huang, Shan Yin, Shuang Zhou, 2021-05-09 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This documentary provides a routing, spectrum and core assignment method with the dividing frequency slots area for space division multiplexing elastic optical networks. This effective RSCA method to solve this problem better. The proposed method utilizes the Frequency Slots Area (FSA) concept and first-last fit policy of frequency slots assignment to have less spectrum fragments, lower crosstalk, smaller traffic blocking probability and higher spectrum resource utilization.
- RTP-mixer formatting of multiparty Real-time text (draft-ietf-avtcore-multi-party-rtt-mix)
By Gunnar Hellstrom, 2021-05-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document provides enhancements for RFC 4103 real-time text mixing suitable for a centralized conference model that enables source identification and rapidly interleaved transmission of text from different sources. The intended use is for real-time text mixers and participant endpoints capable of providing an efficient presentation or other treatment of a multiparty real-time text session. The specified mechanism builds on the standard use of the CSRC list in the RTP packet for source identification. The method makes use of the same "text/t140" and "text/red" formats as for two- party sessions.
- Weighted Multi-Path Procedures for EVPN Multi-Homing (draft-ietf-bess-evpn-unequal-lb)
By Neeraj Malhotra, Ali Sajassi, Jorge Rabadan, John Drake, Avinash Lingala, Samir Thoria, 2021-05-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: EVPN enables all-active multi-homing for a CE device connected to two or more PEs via a LAG, such that bridged and routed traffic from remote PEs to hosts attached to the Ethernet Segment can be equally load balanced (it uses Equal Cost Multi Path) across the multi-homing PEs. EVPN also enables multi-homing for IP subnets advertised in IP Prefix routes, so that routed traffic from remote PEs to those IP subnets can be load balanced. This document defines extensions to EVPN procedures to optimally handle unequal access bandwidth distribution across a set of multi-homing PEs in order to:
- SenML Features and Versions (draft-ietf-core-senml-versions)

- S/MIME Example Keys and Certificates (draft-ietf-lamps-samples)
By Daniel Gillmor, 2021-05-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: The S/MIME development community benefits from sharing samples of signed or encrypted data. This document facilitates such collaboration by defining a small set of X.509v3 certificates and keys for use when generating such samples.
- Self Describing Data Object Tags (draft-ietf-netmod-node-tags)
By Qin WU, Benoit Claise, Peng Liu, Zongpeng Du, Mohamed Boucadair, 2021-05-09 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document defines a method to tag data objects associated with operation and management data in YANG Modules. This YANG data object tagging method can be used to classify data objects from different YANG modules and identify characteristics data. It also can provide input, instruction, indication to selection filter and filter queries of operational state on a server during a "pub/sub" service for YANG datastore updates. When the state of all subscriptions of a particular subscriber to be fetched is huge, the amount of data to be streamed out to the destination can be greatly reduced and only targeted to the characteristics data. These data object tags may be registered as well as assigned during the module definition; assigned by implementations; or dynamically defined and set by users.
- Operational Security Considerations for IPv6 Networks (draft-ietf-opsec-v6)
By Eric Vyncke, Chittimaneni Kk, Merike Kaeo, Enno Rey, 2021-05-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: Knowledge and experience on how to operate IPv4 networks securely is available: whether it is an Internet Service Provider or an enterprise internal network. However, IPv6 presents some new security challenges. RFC 4942 describes security issues in the protocol, but network managers also need a more practical, operations-minded document to enumerate advantages and/or disadvantages of certain choices.
- RTP Payload Format for ISO/IEC 21122 (JPEG XS) (draft-ietf-payload-rtp-jpegxs)
By Sebastien Lugan, Antonin Descampe, Corentin Damman, Thomas Richter, Tim Bruylants, 2021-05-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document specifies a Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) payload format to be used for transporting JPEG XS (ISO/IEC 21122) encoded video. JPEG XS is a low-latency, lightweight image coding system. Compared to an uncompressed video use case, it allows higher resolutions and frame rates, while offering visually lossless quality, reduced power consumption, and end-to-end latency confined to a fraction of a frame.
- RTP Payload Format for VP9 Video (draft-ietf-payload-vp9)
By Justin Uberti, Stefan Holmer, Magnus Flodman, Danny Hong, Jonathan Lennox, 2021-05-07 TXT HTML PDF

- Integration of Network Service Header (NSH) and Segment Routing for Service Function Chaining (SFC) (draft-ietf-spring-nsh-sr)
By Jim Guichard, Jeff Tantsura, 2021-05-09 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This document describes the integration of Network Service Header (NSH) [RFC8300] and Segment Routing (SR) [RFC8402], as well as encapsulation details, to support Service Function Chaining (SFC) [RFC7665] in an efficient manner while maintaining separation of the service and transport planes as originally intended by the SFC architecture.
- Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) Protocol for Ultra-Low Queuing Delay (L4S) (draft-ietf-tsvwg-ecn-l4s-id)
By Koen De Schepper, Bob Briscoe, 2021-05-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This specification defines the protocol to be used for a new network service called low latency, low loss and scalable throughput (L4S). L4S uses an Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) scheme at the IP layer that is similar to the original (or 'Classic') ECN approach, except as specified within. 'Classic' ECN marking is required to be equivalent to a drop, both when applied in the network and when responded to by a transport. Unlike 'Classic' ECN marking, for packets carrying the L4S identifier, the network applies marking more immediately and more aggressively than drop, and the transport response to each mark is reduced and smoothed relative to that for drop. The two changes counterbalance each other so that the throughput of an L4S flow will be roughly the same as a non-L4S flow under the same conditions. Nonetheless, the much more frequent control signals and the finer responses to them result in much more fine-grained adjustments, so that ultra-low and consistently low queuing delay (typically sub-millisecond on average) becomes possible for L4S traffic without compromising link utilization. Thus even capacity-seeking (TCP-like) traffic can have high bandwidth and very low delay at the same time, even during periods of high traffic load.
- Definition of End-to-end Encryption (draft-knodel-e2ee-definition)
By Mallory Knodel, Fred Baker, Olaf Kolkman, Sofia Celi, Gurshabad Grover, 2021-05-07 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is an application of cryptography in communications systems between endpoints. E2EE systems are unique in providing features of confidentiality, integrity and authenticity for users. Improvements to E2EE strive to maximise the system's security while balancing usability and availability. Users of E2EE communications expect trustworthy providers of secure implementations to respect and protect their right to whisper.
- Encapsulation of Path Segment in SRv6 (draft-li-6man-srv6-path-segment-encap)
By Cheng Li, Weiqiang Cheng, Yongqing Zhu, Zhenbin Li, Dhruv Dhody, 2021-05-08 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: Segment Routing (SR) allows for a flexible definition of end-to-end paths by encoding an ordered list of instructions, called "segments". The SR architecture can be implemented over an IPv6 data plane, called SRv6. In some use-cases such as end-to-end SR Path Protection and Performance Measurement (PM), an SRv6 path needs to be identified. An SRv6 Path Segment can be used for identifying an SRv6 path. This document defines a P-flag in the Segment Routing Header to indicate the appearence of SRv6 Path Segment.
- Cookie Extension Limiting Its Availability to User Agent Components (draft-pietrak-cookie-scope)
By Rafal Pietrak, 2021-05-08 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: This memo addresses cookies security by introduction of an additional constraints, web application designer may impose on cookie availability for localhost applications components. Here proposed new cookie attribute attempts to provide that missing functionality while retaining all currently known use scenarios of cookies.
- Light Weighted EVPN (draft-wang-bess-evpn-cmac-overload-reduction)
By Yubao Wang, Ran Chen, 2021-05-08 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: SRv6 EVPN [I-D.ietf-bess-srv6-services] is not sufficient for some light-weighted use cases. When PBB EVPN [RFC7623] over SRv6 is used to support these light-weighted EVPN services, it is complicated to make use of the SID list to carry a function that is aiming for C-MACs.

- Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) Secure Authorization Information for Transfer (draft-ietf-regext-secure-authinfo-transfer): IESG Evaluation::AD Followup » ::Revised I-D Needed
By James Gould, Richard Wilhelm, 2021-03-08 TXT HTML PDF
Abstract: The Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP), in RFC 5730, defines the use of authorization information to authorize a transfer. Object- specific, password-based authorization information (see RFC 5731 and RFC 5733) is commonly used, but raises issues related to the security, complexity, storage, and lifetime of authentication information. This document defines an operational practice, using the EPP RFCs, that leverages the use of strong random authorization information values that are short-lived, not stored by the client, and stored by the server using a cryptographic hash that provides for secure authorization information that can safely be used for object transfers.
