     SIEVE Email Filtering: Extension for Notifications
     
     draft-ietf-sieve-notify-12.txt
     Date: 24/12/2007
     Authors: Alexey Melnikov, Barry Leiba, Wolfgang Segmuller, Tim Martin
     Working Group: Sieve Mail Filtering Language (sieve)
     Formats: txt
    Users go to great lengths to be notified as quickly as possible that they have received new mail. Most of these methods involve polling to check for new messages periodically. A push method handled by the final delivery agent gives users quicker notifications and saves server resources. This document does not specify the notification method but it is expected that using existing instant messaging infrastructure such as XMPP, or GSM Short Message Service (SMS) messages will be popular. This draft describes an extension to the Sieve mail filtering language that allows users to give specific rules for how and when notifications should be sent.

     Hash Based Addresses (HBA)
     
     draft-ietf-shim6-hba-05.txt
     Date: 22/12/2007
     Authors: Marcelo Bagnulo
     Working Group: Site Multihoming by IPv6 Intermediation (shim6)
     Formats: txt
    This memo describes a mechanism to provide a secure binding between the multiple addresses with different prefixes available to a host within a multihomed site. This mechanism employs either Cryptographically Generated Addresses (CGAs) or a new variant of the same theme that uses the same format in the addresses. The main idea in the new variant is that information about the multiple prefixes is included within the addresses themselves. This is achieved by generating the interface identifiers of the addresses of a host as hashes of the available prefixes and a random number. Then, the multiple addresses are generated by prepending the different prefixes to the generated interface identifiers. The result is a set of addresses, called Hash Based Addresses (HBAs), that are inherently bound to each other.

     The Lightweight Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Support Protocol (LGSP)
     
     draft-tyson-lgsp-01.txt
     Date: 21/12/2007
     Authors: Mike Tyson, Carlo Kopp
     Working Group: Individual Submissions (none)
     Formats: txt
    This document presents the Lightweight GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) Support Protocol (LGSP). The Lightweight GNSS Support Protocol (LGSP) is being developed in order to provide a comprehensive solution which solves the problems inherent in traditional radio-based Differential GPS (DGPS) protocols. LGSP will also provide additional support for GNSS user equipment, such as a GPS almanac retrieval method, allowing compatible units to perform faster almanac acquisition, thus resulting in less time until an initial position measurement can be established. Other supporting features include alternative distribution of GPS navigation messages and differential correction messages, a hierarchical mirroring architecture, redundant backup operation and load balancing functions.
     Multiple-Recipient MESSAGE Requests in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
     
     draft-ietf-sip-uri-list-message-03.txt
     Date: 21/12/2007
     Authors: Miguel Garcia-Martin, Gonzalo Camarillo
     Working Group: Session Initiation Protocol (sip)
     Formats: txt xml
    This document specifies a mechanism that allows a SIP User Agent Client (UAC) to send a SIP MESSAGE request to a set of destinations, by using a SIP URI-list (Uniform Resource Identifier list) service. The UAC sends a SIP MESSAGE request that includes the payload along with the URI list to the MESSAGE URI-list service, which sends a MESSAGE request including the payload to each of the URIs included in the list.

     PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE) Extensions for Scaled Credits and Link Metrics
     
     draft-bberry-pppoe-scaled-credits-metrics-01.txt
     Date: 18/12/2007
     Authors: Bo Berry
     Working Group: Individual Submissions (none)
     Formats: txt
    This document specifies a method for optional flow control credit scaling and link quality metric scaling for Point-to-Point over Ethernet (PPPoE). Credit and metric scaling is required when connecting to high performance devices that employ the PPPoE credit flow control and link metric reports as defined in RFC 4938.
     Packet Sampling (PSAMP) Protocol Specifications
     
     draft-ietf-psamp-protocol-09.txt
     Date: 18/12/2007
     Authors: Benoit Claise
     Working Group: Packet Sampling (psamp)
     Formats: txt
    This document specifies the export of packet information from a PSAMP Exporting Process to a PSAMP Collecting Process. For export of packet information the IP Flow Information eXport (IPFIX) protocol is used, as both the IPFIX and PSAMP architecture match very well and the means provided by the IPFIX protocol are sufficient. The document specifies in detail how the IPFIX protocol is used for PSAMP export of packet information.
     Referring to Multiple Resources in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
     
     draft-ietf-sip-multiple-refer-03.txt
     Date: 18/12/2007
     Authors: Gonzalo Camarillo, Aki Niemi, Markus Isomaki, Miguel Garcia-Martin, Hisham Khartabil
     Working Group: Session Initiation Protocol (sip)
     Formats: xml txt
    This document defines extensions to the SIP REFER method so that this method can be used to refer to multiple resources in a single request. These extensions include the use of pointers to Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)-lists in the Refer-To header field and the "multiple-refer" SIP option-tag.

     Session Initiation Protocol Call Control - Transfer
     
     draft-ietf-sipping-cc-transfer-09.txt
     Date: 14/12/2007
     Authors: Robert Sparks
     Working Group: Session Initiation Proposal Investigation (sipping)
     Formats: txt
    This document describes providing Call Transfer capabilities in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). SIP extensions such as REFER and Replaces are used to provide a number of transfer services including blind transfer, consultative transfer, and attended transfer. This work is part of the SIP multiparty call control framework.

     Multicast Group Membership Discovery MIB
     
     draft-ietf-magma-mgmd-mib-11.txt
     Date: 04/12/2007
     Authors: Julian Chesterfield
     Working Group: Multicast & Anycast Group Membership (magma)
     Formats: txt
    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 objects used for managing the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and the Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol.

     Preventing Use of Recursive Nameservers in Reflector Attacks
     
     draft-ietf-dnsop-reflectors-are-evil-05.txt
     Date: 03/12/2007
     Authors: Joao Luis Damas, Frederico Neves
     Working Group: Domain Name System Operations (dnsop)
     Formats: txt xml
    This document describes ways to prevent the use of default configured recursive nameservers as reflectors in Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Recommended configuration as measures to mitigate the attack are given.
     The E.164 to Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) Application for Infrastructure ENUM
     
     draft-ietf-enum-infrastructure-07.txt
     Date: 03/12/2007
     Authors: Jason Livingood
     Working Group: Telephone Number Mapping (enum)
     Formats: txt
    This document defines the use case for Infrastructure ENUM and proposes its implementation as a parallel namespace to "e164.arpa" as defined in RFC3761, as the long-term solution to the problem of allowing carriers to provision DNS records for telephone numbers independently of those provisioned by end users (number assignees).
