RFC 3299 Summary of 3200-3299 December 2003
3298 Faynberg Aug 2002 Service in the Public Switched
Telephone Network/Intelligent
Network (PSTN/IN) Requesting
InTernet Service (SPIRITS)
Protocol Requirements
This document describes the SPIRITS protocol requirements, based on the
architecture presented in RFC 3136. (SPIRITS stands for "Service in the
PSTN/IN Requesting InTernet Service".) The purpose of the protocol is
to support services that originate in the Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN) and necessitate the interactions between the PSTN and the
Internet. Similarly, such services are called SPIRITS services.
(Internet Call Waiting, Internet Caller-ID Delivery, and Internet Call
Forwarding are examples of SPIRIT services, but the protocol is to
define the building blocks from which many other services can be built.)
On the PSTN side, the SPIRITS services are initiated from the
Intelligent Network (IN) entities; the earlier IETF work on the
PSTN/Internet Interworking (PINT) resulted in the protocol (RFC 2848) in
support of the services initiated the other way around--from the
Internet to PSTN.
To this end, this document lists general requirements for the SPIRITS
protocol as well as those pertinent to IN, Wireless IN, and PINT
building blocks. The document also presents the SPIRITS WG consensus on
the choice of the SPIRITS signaling protocol. This memo provides
information for the Internet community.

public-key algorithms in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). The
ECC algorithms support the creation of digital signatures and the
exchange of keys to encrypt or authenticate content. The definition of

3274 Gutmann Jun 2002 Compressed Data Content Type
for Cryptographic Message
Syntax (CMS)
This document defines a format for using compressed data as a
Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) content type. Compressing data
before transmission provides a number of advantages, including the
elimination of data redundancy which could help an attacker, speeding up
processing by reducing the amount of data to be processed by later steps
(such as signing or encryption), and reducing overall message size.
Although there have been proposals for adding compression at other
levels (for example at the MIME or SSL level), these don't address the
problem of compression of CMS content unless the compression is supplied
by an external means (for example by intermixing MIME and CMS).

This document defines a mechanism by which two entities can make use of
the Session Description Protocol (SDP) to arrive at a common view of a
multimedia session between them. In the model, one participant offers
the other a description of the desired session from their perspective,
and the other participant answers with the desired session from their

3254 Alvestrand Apr 2002 Definitions for talking about

When discussing systems for making information accessible through the
Internet in standardized ways, it may be useful if the people who are
discussing it have a common understanding of the terms they use. For
example, a reference to this document would give one the power to agree
that the DNS (Domain Name System) is a global lookup repository with
perimeter integrity and loose, converging consistency. On the other

3248 Armitage Mar 2002 A Delay Bound alternative
revision of RFC 2598
For historical interest, this document captures the EF Design Team's
proposed solution, preferred by the original authors of RFC 2598 but not
adopted by the working group in December 2000. The original definition
of EF was based on comparison of forwarding on an unloaded network.
This experimental Delay Bound (DB) PHB requires a bound on the delay of
packets due to other traffic in the network. At the Pittsburgh IETF
meeting in August 2000, the Differentiated Services working group faced
serious questions regarding RFC 2598 - the group's standards track
definition of the Expedited Forwarding (EF) Per Hop Behavior (PHB). An
'EF Design Team' volunteered to develop a re-expression of RFC 2598,
bearing in mind the issues raised in the DiffServ group. At the San
Diego IETF meeting in December 2000 the DiffServ working group decided
to pursue an alternative re-expression of the EF PHB. This memo

PHB (Expedited Forwarding

This document was written during the process of clarification of RFC2598
"An Expedited Forwarding PHB" that led to the publication of revised
specification of EF "An Expedited Forwarding PHB". Its primary
motivation is providing additional explanation to the revised EF
definition and its properties. The document also provides additional
implementation examples and gives some guidance for computation of the

This document defines a PHB (per-hop behavior) called Expedited

ensuring that the EF aggregate is served at a certain configured rate.

provided by the lower layers to increase compression efficiency by
completely eliminating the header for most packets during optimal

This document includes comments and recommendations by the IAB on some

This document is intended as part of an IETF discussion about

between a source host and destination host. This document establishes a

3233 Hoffman Feb 2002 Defining the IETF
This document gives a more concrete definition of "the IETF" as it

3230 Mogul Jan 2002 Instance Digests in HTTP
HTTP/1.1 defines a Content-MD5 header that allows a server to include a
digest of the response body. However, this is specifically defined to
cover the body of the actual message, not the contents of the full file
(which might be quite different, if the response is a Content-Range, or
uses a delta encoding). Also, the Content-MD5 is limited to one
specific digest algorithm; other algorithms, such as SHA-1 (Secure Hash
Standard), may be more appropriate in some circumstances. Finally,
HTTP/1.1 provides no explicit mechanism by which a client may request a
digest. This document proposes HTTP extensions that solve these
problems. [STANDARDS TRACK]

3226 Gudmundsson Dec 2001 DNSSEC and IPv6 A6 aware
server/resolver message size
requirements
This document mandates support for EDNS0 (Extension Mechanisms for DNS)
in DNS entities claiming to support either DNS Security Extensions or A6
records. This requirement is necessary because these new features
increase the size of DNS messages. If EDNS0 is not supported fall back
to TCP will happen, having a detrimental impact on query latency and DNS
server load. This document updates RFC 2535 and RFC 2874, by adding new
requirements. [STANDARDS TRACK]
3225 Conrad Dec 2001 Indicating Resolver Support of
DNSSEC
In order to deploy DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions)
operationally, DNSSEC aware servers should only perform automatic
inclusion of DNSSEC RRs when there is an explicit indication that the
resolver can understand those RRs. This document proposes the use of a
bit in the EDNS0 header to provide that explicit indication and
describes the necessary protocol changes to implement that notification.

3220 Perkins Jan 2002 IP Mobility Support for IPv4
This document specifies protocol enhancements that allow transparent
routing of IP datagrams to mobile nodes in the Internet. Each mobile
node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current
point of attachment to the Internet. While situated away from its home,
a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which provides
information about its current point of attachment to the Internet. The
protocol provides for registering the care-of address with a home agent.
The home agent sends datagrams destined for the mobile node through a
tunnel to the care-of address. After arriving at the end of the tunnel,
each datagram is then delivered to the mobile node. [STANDARDS TRACK]
3219 Rosenberg Jan 2002 Telephony Routing over IP

This document presents the Telephony Routing over IP (TRIP). TRIP is a
policy driven inter-administrative domain protocol for advertising the
reachability of telephony destinations between location servers, and for
advertising attributes of the routes to those destinations. TRIP's
operation is independent of any signaling protocol, hence TRIP can serve
as the telephony routing protocol for any signaling protocol.

along an LSP is completely identified by the label applied at the

Protocol Specification
Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) is a reliable multicast transport
protocol for applications that require ordered or unordered, duplicate-
free, multicast data delivery from multiple sources to multiple
receivers. PGM guarantees that a receiver in the group either receives
all data packets from transmissions and repairs, or is able to detect
unrecoverable data packet loss. PGM is specifically intended as a

requirements. Its central design goal is simplicity of operation with
due regard for scalability and network efficiency. This memo defines an
