"Definitions of Managed Objects for Middlebox Communication", Juergen Quittek, Martin Stiemerling, Pyda Srisuresh, 6-Dec-07. ( bytes)

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes a set of managed objects that allow configuring middleboxes, such as firewalls and network address translators, in order to enable communication across these devices. The definitions of managed objects in this documents follow closely the MIDCOM semantics defined in [I-D.ietf-midcom-rfc3989-bis].

"Middlebox Communications (MIDCOM) Protocol Semantics", Martin Stiemerling, 19-Jun-07. ( bytes)

This document specifies semantics for a Middlebox Communication (MIDCOM) protocol to be used by MIDCOM agents for interacting with middleboxes such as firewalls and Network Address Translators (NATs). The semantics discussion does not include any specification of a concrete syntax or a transport protocol. However, a concrete protocol is expected to implement the specified semantics or, more likely, a superset of it. The MIDCOM protocol semantics is derived from the MIDCOM requirements, from the MIDCOM framework, and from working group decisions. This document obsoletes RFC 3989.
