     An Extension to Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Events for Conditional Event Notification
     
     draft-ietf-sipcore-subnot-etags-02.txt
     Date: 22/04/2009
     Authors: Aki Niemi
     Working Group: Session Initiation Protocol Core (sipcore)
     Formats: txt xml
    The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) events framework enables receiving asynchronous notification of various events from other SIP user agents. This framework defines the procedures for creating, refreshing and terminating subscriptions, as well as fetching and periodic polling of resource state. These procedures provide no tools to avoid replaying event notifications that have already been received by a user agent. This memo defines an extension to SIP events that allows the subscriber to condition the subscription request to whether the state has changed since the previous notification was received. When such a condition is true, either the body of a resulting event notification or the entire notification message is suppressed.

     Syntax for binding documents with time stamps
     
     draft-santoni-timestampeddata-06.txt
     Date: 20/04/2009
     Authors: Adriano Santoni
     Working Group: Individual Submissions (none)
     Formats: txt
    This document describes an envelope which can be used to bind a file (not necessarily protected by means of cryptographic techniques) with one or more time-stamp tokens obtained for that file, where "time- stamp token" has the meaning defined in RFC 3161 or its successors. Additional types of temporal evidence are also allowed. The proposed envelope is based on the Cryptographic Message Syntax as defined in RFC 3852.

     Point-to-Multipoint Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering (TE) Management Information Base (MIB) module
     
     draft-ietf-mpls-p2mp-te-mib-09.txt
     Date: 17/04/2009
     Authors: Adrian Farrel, Seisho Yasukawa, Thomas Nadeau
     Working Group: Multiprotocol Label Switching (mpls)
     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 managed objects for point-to-multipoint (P2MP) Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) based traffic engineering (TE). The MIB module defined in this document is applicable to P2MP MPLS-TE by extensions to the MPLS-TE MIB module defined in RFC 3812. It is equally applicable to P2MP Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) in association with the GMPLS TE MIB module defined in RFC 4802.

     A Uniform Resource Name Namespace For The GSM Association (GSMA) and the International Mobile station Equipment Identity(IMEI)
     
     draft-montemurro-gsma-imei-urn-04.txt
     Date: 15/04/2009
     Authors: Andrew Allen, Paul Gosden, David McDonald, Michael Montemurro
     Working Group: Individual Submissions (none)
     Formats: txt
    This specification defines a Uniform Resource Name namespace for the GSMA and sub namespaces for the IMEI (International Mobile station Equipment Identity), and for the IMEISV (International Mobile station Equipment Identity and Software Version number). The IMEI is 15 decimal digits long and the IMEISV is 16 decimal digits long and both are encoded using Binary Encoded Decimal (BCD). The IMEI and IMEISV were introduced as part of the specification for Global System for Mobile (GSM) and are also now incorporated by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as part of the 3GPP specification for GSM, and the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). The IMEI and IMEISV are used to uniquely identify Mobile Equipment within these systems and are managed by the GSMA (GSM Association).

     Virtual Enterprise Traversal (VET)
     
     draft-templin-autoconf-dhcp-38.txt
     Date: 13/04/2009
     Authors: Fred Templin
     Working Group: Individual Submissions (none)
     Formats: txt
    Enterprise networks connect routers over various link types, and may also connect to provider networks and/or the global Internet. Enterprise network nodes require a means to automatically provision IP addresses/prefixes and support internetworking operation in a wide variety of use cases including SOHO networks, Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs), multi-organizational corporate networks and the interdomain core of the global Internet itself. This document specifies a Virtual Enterprise Traversal (VET) abstraction for autoconfiguration and operation of nodes in enterprise networks.

     Password-Authenticated Diffie-Hellman Exchange (PAK)
     
     draft-brusilovsky-pak-10.txt
     Date: 10/04/2009
     Authors: Igor Faynberg, Sarvar Patel, Zachary Zeltsan, Alec Brusilovsky
     Working Group: Individual Submissions (none)
     Formats: txt
    This document proposes to add mutual authentication, based on human-memorizable password, to the basic unauthenticated Diffie-Hellman key exchange. The proposed algorithm is called Password-authenticated Key exchange (PAK). PAK allows two parties to authenticate themselves while performing the Diffie-Hellman exchange. The protocol is secure against all passive and active attacks. In particular, it does not allow either type of attackers to obtain any information that would enable an off-line dictionary attack on the password. PAK provides Forward Secrecy.

     Heartbeat Mechanism for Proxy Mobile IPv6
     
     draft-ietf-netlmm-pmipv6-heartbeat-07.txt
     Date: 09/04/2009
     Authors: Vijay Devarapalli, Rajeev Koodli, Heeseon Lim, Nishi Kant, Suresh Krishnan, Julien Laganier
     Working Group: Network-based Localized Mobility Management (netlmm)
     Formats: txt
    Proxy Mobile IPv6 is a network-based mobility management protocol. The mobility entities involved in the Proxy Mobile IPv6 protocol, the Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) and the Local Mobility Anchor (LMA), setup tunnels dynamically to manage mobility for a mobile node within the Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain. This document describes a heartbeat mechanism between the MAG and the LMA to detect failures, quickly inform peers in the event of a recovery from node failures, and allow a peer to take appropriate action.

     IPv6 Rapid Deployment on IPv4 infrastructures (6rd)
     
     draft-despres-6rd-03.txt
     Date: 07/04/2009
     Authors: Remi Despres
     Working Group: Individual Submissions (none)
     Formats: txt
    IPv6 rapid deployment (6rd) builds upon mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides customer premise equipment. Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network infrastructure. Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6 prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix. A service provider has used this mechanism for its own IPv6 "rapid deployment": five weeks from first exposure to 6rd principles to more than 1,500,000 residential sites being provided native IPv6, under the only condition that they activate it.

     Date: 05/04/2009
     Authors: Akihiro Kato, Masayuki Kanda, Satoru Kanno
     Working Group: Individual Submissions (none)
     Formats: txt xml
    This document specifies a set of cipher suites for the Transport Security Layer (TLS) protocol to support the Camellia encryption algorithm as a block cipher. It amends the ciphersuites originally specifed in RFC 4132 by counterparts using the newer cryptographic hash algorithms from the SHA-2 familiy. This document obsoletes RFC 4132.
