Subject: Best Current Practices for NAT Traversal for SIP
Several colleagues and I would like to urge you on behalf of many in our
industry to finish the critical Internet Draft for the SIP community:
"Best
Current Practices for NAT Traversal for SIP".
This is an excellent document, but as yet not finished.
The "Best Current Practices for NAT Traversal for SIP" is without doubt
in
our minds the most critical of all the SIP work done at present in the
various related IETF working groups, since without a NAT traversal
standard,
SIP based communications simply cannot be guaranteed to happen in the
first
place. Needless to say that two ICE enabled UAs need to be interoperable
in
a standard and auditable way, so as to be tested for example in SIPit.
[Chris Boulton] Agreed.
A response to a previous enquiry was that ICE is just being fixed, after
which this I-D will be finished as well. Can you share what the status
of
both I-Ds is at present and what we will have at the 63 IETF?
[Chris Boulton] Current status is that Gonzalo currently has the editors
token as he is inserting some text in the document which deals with IPV6
inter-working. I believe he will be returning this back to me soon -
although there were issues with the current TURN draft. Gonzalo?
Once I have received the draft - I intend updating based on the latest
ICE specification. This again will depend on the production of the
latest version of ICE in time for me to complete my updates. I'm not
sure what plans Jonathan has for the next release of ICE?
So in conclusion, the current plan is for a new version of the draft to
be submitted in time for IETF 63.
Regards,
Chris.
Sorry for this note, but looking at the 70+ RFCs on SIP and the several
hundreds of I-D in the pipeline, I thought it is a good idea to share
the
priorities with the SIPPING WG and see what other think as well.
Thanks, Henry
