Katrin,Could you clarify what type of "proxies" are being discussed on this list? What layers of the stack are you looking at?
Network: Mobile IP Home Agents Transport: TURN servers Application: HTTP proxies, SIP proxies Or are you looking at the concept of proxying in general?The text of both messages in the list archive seemed pretty agnostic, but there were attachments discussing AAA proxies. Is AAA the focus of this list?

Hi,Security problems related to network proxies persistently come up in several IETF WGs and may affect the security of existing IETF network solutions while slowing down the progress of some current Internet Drafts.For this reason, Tim Polk and I organized an informal meeting in Philadelphia at IETF 71 to discuss these so-called "proxy problems" and their implications. As a result of our meeting, a proxy email list was created to further investigate the proxy problems.This email serves as an invitation to anybody interested to join our discussions on the list.
