Authenticated Chunks for
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
(Proposed Standard) - 3 of 8
Token: Magnus Westerlund
Bill entered NO-OBJ.
Don't need to discuss DISCUSSes today. Jari's comment is important -
raised issue of key management. Got a response about TLS, but this
isn't defined anywhere. Is there anything in progress that will help
with this?
Magnus - is in pipe, or should be in pipe.
Jari - is that a key management problem, or management of shared
secrets? TLS would solve practical problem.
Bill - is security document about when key management is required here?
it should be.
Cullen - missed this - doesn't protect against on-path unless you have
shared keys, which is ridiculous for most applications.
Brian - Jari needs to decide if this is a DISCUSS pretty quickly -
before version 08.
Russ - I chose not to block on RFC 4107 because shared secret isn't
required for many of the applications and manual keying would cover
most of the rest. As long as there is a key ID, adding key management
is straightforward..
Jari - Based on Russ's response I do not think I need to enter a
DISCUSS.

NOTE: There are significant RFC Editor notes!
Token: Jari Arkko
Jari - Brian DISCUSSed the issue that the document adds significant
complexity. I share Brian's concern, and this was discussed when
working group was charterered for the work. Point was made that that
this might encourage IPv6 deployment to avoid that complexity.
Brian - this path forward gives us two solutions to the same problem,
and both would have to be supported by anyone who roams.
Ross - a permanent thing, probably.
Brian - hard to get rid of.
Ross - hard to avoid this given the state of the world.
Brian - should we be improving the world? Don't want to just block this
document.
Jari - probably have to wait a little bit to approve this document
anyway. This document didn't go for IETF Last Call - we could ask for
more input from the community.
Brian - seems very appropriate. Thomas Narten also sent in comments
(late). It's not the document that's to blame here, can go forward with
suggested text changes.
Jari - so, revised ID needed and doesn't go for IETF Last Call at this
time.

Token: Ted Hardie
Ted - just put in an RFC Editor Note - could people look at it and go
on?
Brian - why a non-standard definition of lexical equivalence?
Ted - they picked the definition they wanted, why challenge that?
Brian - I wonder if they thought it through. But I can clear.
Bill cleared DISCUSS, too.

3.3 Independent Submissions Via RFC Editor
The IESG will use RFC 3932 responses: 1) The
IESG has not
found any conflict between this document and
IETF work; 2) The
IESG thinks that this work is related to
IETF work done in WG
<X>, but this does not prevent
publishing; 3) The IESG thinks
that publication is harmful to work in WG
<X> and recommends
not publishing at this time; 4) The IESG
thinks that this
document violates the IETF procedures for
<X> and should
therefore not be published without IETF
review and IESG
approval; 5) The IESG thinks that this
document extends an
IETF protocol in a way that requires IETF
review and should
therefore not be published without IETF
review and IESG approval.
Other matters may be recorded in comments to
be passed on
to the RFC Editor as community review of the
document.

o draft-nagami-mip6-nemo-multihome-fixed-network-03.txt
Multi-homing for small scale fixed network Using Mobile IP
and NEMO (Experimental) - 1 of 1
Token: Jari Arkko
Ted - is this getting deployed anywhere?
Jari - no information.
Brian - thought I'd seen a note that it was deployed.
Ross - document claimed at least testing in a lab.
Jari - value of that statement can be questioned, of course, but this
is discussing the use of protocols, not doing anything new.
Ted - not suggesting that we block this, just asking for information
when I send my note to the RFC Editor.
Ross - this seems related to RAM and might be useful.
Jari - chairs of both working groups not happy that they hadn't been
consulted, but that's life.
Brian - that's what the 3932 procedure allows.
The conclusion is that there is no problem for this draft to go forward.

4. Working Group Actions
4.1 WG Creation
4.1.1 Proposed for IETF Review
NONE
4.1.2 Proposed for Approval
o Media Server Control (mediactrl) - 1 of 2
Token: Cullen Jennings
Any objection to creation?
Russ - sent a comment about liaison stuff.
Cullen - need to delete that, we've gotten other comments about things
that need to be fixed. We'll fix them and fix the milestones. How do
people want to handle this?
Brian - are you sure that they won't need normative reference to
framework document?
Cullen - definitely viewing framework as boxes and arrows description,
with no normative text. Protocol spec would be normative and standalone.
David - milestones were most important for me. Could be clearer that
"examine" means "propose changes", not doing it themselves. Don't see
any major problems, can probably agree to disagree about scalability,
we could talk about that forever.
Cullen - "approved, point raised, writeup needed?" Don't know the
process here...
David - please don't bring back!
Brian - we'll trust you to do the right thing ("approved waiting new
version of text").
o Pre-Congestion Notification (pcn) - 2 of 2
Token: Lars Eggert
David - have objection but should be an ABSTAIN, not a DISCUSS. Happy
to discuss it, of course. Not convinced this will really help anything
or fix any problems we have.
Lars - if you have a network with inelastic traffic and it approaches
congestion, or there's a routing change, the flows don't react to
packet loss. This working group group will define how to transport
congestion information to a boundary, so the other flows don't continue
to impact everything.
Brian - someone has to try this.
David - research, stay experimental for Internet scale.
Lars - couldn't deploy this on a wide scale with current charter.
There
are problems with large areas, interaction with non-PCN networks...
Magnus - You need a mechanism that uses the PCN information that can
affect the flow..
Brian - if you're ignoring David's ABSTAIN, there's a danger that these
people will think they can break ECN architecture, etc.
Lars - need to say something about ECN and about Diff-Serv.
Brian - "all the nodes trust each other" - Sam would be upset by this
assumption.
Lars - but they trust each other for routing information.
Brian - but that's not BCP 61.
Magnus - need to remind people that they do need a security story, but
administrative domains can count.
Russ - "trust each other for <blank>", not blanket trust. That
would help.
David - did Dan ask for management work on this?
Dan - yes, as part of the existing documents proposal, but working
group could decide for a separate document - as long as it's not
ignored or lost.
Brian - want to run the revised version past us?
Lars - yes.
David - my abstain is a warning that they'd better not break the
Internet, or there will be issues when the documents need to be
approved by the IESG..
Brian - need this back on the agenda? Can approve, pending new charter
text. (no objections)
Lars - have chairs if this is confirmed.
Brian - good news.
4.2 WG Rechartering
4.2.1 Under evaluation for IETF Review
NONE
4.2.2 Proposed for Approval
o Network Mobility (nemo) - 1 of 2
Token: Jari Arkko
Jari - need to discuss David's comments. Mail to IETF went out a day or
two ago, so we do have some time (wasn't planning to ask for approval
today). Didn't fully agree that there's no demand or requirement for
this work. There's real demand from at least one area.
David - can abstain, but still have issues. IETF is not a research lab
for vendors.
Brian - there are at least couple of vendors in the aircraft space...
is the NASA comment valid?
Jari - Bill Ivancic has been working in this area for years, and what
he is saying is that the IETF is giving the airline industry a chance
to do something, and that they need to deliver or else the IETF will
not look at this problem later. This is good news from our perspective,
they understand the situation.
David - still have issues. "Address" isn't "IP address" - ambiguous.
Please be clearer about scope of technologies for the charter - whether
satellites are in scope, etc.
Jari - main thing is that tunnel overhead doubles RTT.
David - communication through the ground is much faster, and this
affects the solutions you look at.
Jari - problem isn't really tunneling on the ground, it's backhauling
for unnecessary round trips.
Brian - Africa doesn't have ground links, anyway, so you're going to
end up with satellite hops in addition.
David - all this can be engineered. My point is that aviation should be
an example case, not the only one.
Brian - Jari just has to bear this in mind for the next version.
Jari - home agent on wrong continent is the real problem.
David - this happens in the non-moving case, too. Question is whether
you need protocol work. Doing this for re-charter is best approach. Do
others agree?
Jari - this is going to go forward for aviation, could recharter for
other two environments.
David - not convinced the other two environments should even be in the
charter.
Will return for March 8th telechat.
o SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions

Token: Jon Peterson
Any objections? None noted, so recharter is approved, pending an edit
from Jon.
5. IAB News We can use
Loa - one basic item, agenda for plenary in Prague.
Working on discussion on internationalization. Format may be two
presentations plus panel discussion, but still discussing.
Will do normal IAB Update and open mike.
Brian - reached conclusion on NomCom slate?
Loa - yes, we have (can't tell you anything, of course).
Brian - NomCom now contacts nominees to see if they are still OK.
Loa - had quite a bit of action with NomCom this year, way more than
previous year.
Cullen - looks like IAB has sent confirmation to NomCom.
Brian - has ISOC board confirmed IAB?
Cullen - have voted to confirm, but haven't been officially notified.
Probably a week from finalizing.
Bill - "only a week late, so the second week is OK..."
6. Management Issue
6.1. Downref to IS-IS documents (Bill)
Bill - This comes down to timing, maybe we can agree on a plan for my
successor.
Bill - Looking at several IS-IS documents in my queue with references
from other working groups. Would like to get them on the standards
track. IS-IS is unique, defined by another SDO, so very delicate what
we do on standards track. Alex had an agreement for IP-only documents,
but some documents haven't been moved. Would have been standards-track,
except for our agreement with ISO. Shouldn't be blocking new
standards-track documents that refer to old IS-IS documents, or we'll
never get everything on the standards track. Would like to publish
these documents on standards-track without waiting for other documents
to be published.
Ross - long list, hard to get out at one time.
Bill - want to find a different way forward. These documents would be
published as Informational just to publish, then republish... silly. We
have a 3967 hammer. This isn't a nail or a screw. One option is "call
this out at Last Call time", or using Klensin downref (and calling out
at Last Call). Klensin document seems contradictory on the critical
point. Think this combination is the best way forward.
Brian - makes sense to me. Although we have a habit of using the tool
for Last Calls, nothing prevents us from doing one manually and
covering a lot of these documents in one Last Call.
No one on the call had any objections to Bill's proposal.
6.2 Expert for RFC4236 [IANA #62135] (Michelle Cotton)
Ross - think RFC number is wrong (OPES?)
Bill - it's actually RFC 4326 - ULE.
Cullen - one candidate would be chair and document author. A lot of
hats to wear at once, but does anyone have a better choice?
Brian - put on action list with Mark as stuckee...
6.3 Approve ion-procdocs (Brian Carpenter)
Brian - at least one comment from someone, don't think I got any other
comments. Anyone want to raise a late comment? (No voices) Will make
proposed change ("obvious clarification") and post it.
6.4 Registry for compression hints (Michelle)
Michelle - have been talking with Steve Casner, he suggested
procedures. Can I get IESG confirmation, or do we need to do anything
more?
Magnus - Reasonable to go to RFC required, since routers need to
understand the different hints. It can't be proprietary hints.
Bill - standards required? This is a 2434 word. IETF Consensus would be
fine with me, too.
Brian - standards action could be over the top for this.
Magnus - will make this IETF consensus.
Brian - need to make sure this still exists in 2434bis (it does, with a
different name - "IETF review").
Michelle - for old RFCs with no procedures, can IESG just make these
decisions, or involve the community? We'll have more of these come up.
Brian - believe this is in scope for IESG to decide, since we're not
changing procedures.
6.5 ID Formatting (Bill)
Question when working on tool for submitting ID - is having a
publication date on the first page a requirement? It's not listed as a
requirement - expires date is, but not publication date.
Bill - asked Michael to scan the directory to see if there are drafts
with no dates.
Russ - make this a requirement and be done with it.
Brian - if we're in prior art discussions, a date would be a really
good thing.
Bill - do we have consensus for requiring a date?
Ted - how free are you going to be on the rules for date formats?
Everyone has a date, but there are lots of formats.
Jari - do we have an operational need for this information?
Bill - people who mirror the directory don't get the metadata - could
insert the metadata, that would be one way
Jari - don't go there (inserting in PDF, etc)
Cullen - IPR discussion is clearly compelling.
Bill - defer this to the mailing list so we can resolve this.
Magnus - really good to have a date when submitted for IPR.
Jari - question is whether we require it.
Brian - 4228 makes the assumption that we can extract a date from the
draft. Bill, please send a note about this to the list.
7. Agenda Working Group News
Jari Arkko - conference call with WiMAX Forum about liaison statement,
speeding up on NetLMM and MIP6. Monami6 is working on adding a filter
to Mobile IPv6. The discussion was lifted out of the WG because some of
us feel a more generic approach than something tied to Mobile IPv6 is
in order. Ongoing discussion in the int-area list, please join.
Ross Callon - first draft of MPLS security framework, will be looking
for security advisor
- Russ - people who are interested aren't funded - we know it's a need,
haven't been able to fill it yet.
Ted Hardie - informal feedback on legg documents from ITU-T - "we don't
think there's a constituency for this, and if there was, we'd want it".
Unless Sam has an opinion, this will be Experimental until a constuency
appears.
- Brian - Independent submission to RFC Editor?
- Russ - not good since we've been through IETF last call.
- Brian - looks like's it's gotten little review.
- Ted - think that people who understand it think somewhere between
"mostly harmless" and "possibly useful". Not clear whether the category
of people who can use this will grow.
- Ted - OPES-SMTP and 2518bis are coming out of working groups that
will die if we approve the documents - please fix, don't try to discuss
with dying working group.
- Cullen - as chair, think that if we lose context in Ted's head the
documents will fail.
Magnus Westerlund - NSIS is making progress. Whole NAT traversal grand
plan doesn't seem to be happening (ICE/STUN/TURN space) according to
proposed schedule..
- Cullen - this set of documents is extremely complex and gets a lot of
new reviewers every new version. The editor is producing an incredible
number of drafts for the coming IETF - need to work on growing authors
in RAI. Chairs are trying to drive this work forward but documents
still have a ways to go. Hope we're finished by this IETF but expect
between Prague and Chicago is realistic.
- Magnus - At least there are no lack of reviewers.
- Cullen - no lack of work on these documents! Document authors are
aware these documents are highest priority.
