| RFC 2503 | MIME Types for Use with the ISO ILL Protocol |
| |
| Authors: | R. Moulton, M. Needleman. |
| Date: | February 1999 |
| Formats: | txt pdf |
| Status: | INFORMATIONAL |
|
This memorandum describes a set of MIME types for use with the ISOInterlibrary Loan Protocol (ISO 10160/10161). Two MIME types are specified below.
The first is a media type to carry objects which are BER [BER] encoded ISO ILL Protocol Data Units (PDU's). BER are the basicEncoding Rules used to encode PDU's which have been described usingASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation 1) [ASN.1] .
The second is for use with the associated document delivery instructions. Document Delivery Instructions (DDI) is an emerging protocol which enables automatic electronic delivery of items. It allows a request management system (which might have received a request for an item via the ISO Interlibrary Loan Protocol (ISO10160/10161)) to pass details of the request, item, and delivery, to a delivery module, and to receive back reports on the delivery process or arrival of an item. It is currently being submitted to theISO TC46/SC4/WG4 committee for approval as an ISO standard. |

| RFC 2505 | Anti-Spam Recommendations for SMTP MTAs |
| |
| Authors: | G. Lindberg. |
| Date: | February 1999 |
| Formats: | txt pdf |
| Also: | BCP 0030 |
| Status: | BEST CURRENT PRACTICE |
|
This memo gives a number of implementation recommendations for SMTP,[1], MTAs (Mail Transfer Agents, e.g. sendmail, [8]) to make them more capable of reducing the impact of spam(*).
The intent is that these recommendations will help clean up the spam situation, if applied on enough SMTP MTAs on the Internet, and that they should be used as guidelines for the various MTA vendors. We are fully aware that this is not the final solution, but if these recommendations were included, and used, on all Internet SMTP MTAs, things would improve considerably and give time to design a more long term solution. The Future Work section suggests some ideas that may be part of such a long term solution. It might, though, very well be the case that the ultimate solution is social, political, or legal, rather than technical in nature.
The implementor should be aware of the increased risk of denial of service attacks that several of the proposed methods might lead to.For example, increased number of queries to DNS servers and increased size of logfiles might both lead to overloaded systems and system crashes during an attack.
A brief summary of this memo is: o Stop unauthorized mail relaying. o Spammers then have to operate in the open; deal with them. o Design a mail system that can handle spam. |

| RFC 2507 | IP Header Compression |
| |
| Authors: | M. Degermark, B. Nordgren, S. Pink. |
| Date: | February 1999 |
| Formats: | txt pdf |
| Status: | PROPOSED STANDARD |
|
This document describes how to compress multiple IP headers and TCP and UDP headers per hop over point to point links. The methods can be applied to of IPv6 base and extension headers, IPv4 headers, TCP andUDP headers, and encapsulated IPv6 and IPv4 headers.
Headers of typical UDP or TCP packets can be compressed down to 4-7 octets including the 2 octet UDP or TCP checksum. This largely removes the negative impact of large IP headers and allows efficient use of bandwidth on low and medium speed links.
The compression algorithms are specifically designed to work well over links with nontrivial packet-loss rates. Several wireless and modem technologies result in such links. |

| RFC 2517 | Building Directories from DNS: Experiences from WWWSeeker |
| |
| Authors: | R. Moats, R. Huber. |
| Date: | February 1999 |
| Formats: | txt pdf |
| Status: | INFORMATIONAL |
|
There has been much discussion and several documents written about the need for an Internet Directory. Recently, this discussion has focused on ways to discover an organization's domain name without relying on use of DNS as a directory service. This memo discusses lessons that were learned during InterNIC Directory and DatabaseServices' development and operation of WWWSeeker, an application that finds a web site given information about the name and location of an organization. The back end database that drives this application was built from information obtained from domain registries via WHOIS and other protocols. We present this information to help future implementors avoid some of the blind alleys that we have already explored. This work builds on the Netfind system that was created byMike Schwartz and his team at the University of Colorado at Boulder[1]. |

This document presents a framework for inter-domain route aggregation and shows an example router configuration which 'implements' this framework. This framework is flexible and scales well as it emphasizes the philosophy of aggregation by the source, both within routing domains as well as towards upstream providers, and it also strongly encourages the use of the 'no-export' BGP community to balance the provider-subscriber need for more granular routing information with the Internet's need for scalable inter-domain routing. |

| RFC 2520 | NHRP with Mobile NHCs |
| |
| Authors: | J. Luciani, H. Suzuki, N. Doraswamy, D. Horton. |
| Date: | February 1999 |
| Formats: | txt pdf |
| Status: | EXPERIMENTAL |
|
This document describes an extension to NHRP [1] which would allowMobile NHCs to perform a registration with and attach to an NHS in their home LIS in an authenticated manner.
As described in this document, Mobile NHCs are NHCs which are not configured with enough information to find a specific serving NHS in their home LIS, but which have a mechanism to find an NHS (which may or may not be a serving NHS) to which they will attach. As described in [1], an NHC may attach to a 'surrogate' NHS by using a mechanism such as an anycast address. In this case, the NHC may use the surrogate NHS to send a NHRP Registration Request toward the NHC's home LIS where a serving NHS resides. However, as defined in [1], packet authentication is performed on a hop by hop basis. In the mobile NHC case, it is not practical for the mobile NHC be in a security relationship with every surrogate NHS, thus it is presumably desirable to have some form of end to end only authentication for the case of a mobile NHC's registration. This document describes an authentication extension for NHRP which has such end to end only semantics. |

| RFC 2529 | Transmission of IPv6 over IPv4 Domains without Explicit Tunnels |
| |
| Authors: | B. Carpenter, C. Jung. |
| Date: | March 1999 |
| Formats: | txt pdf |
| Status: | PROPOSED STANDARD |
|
This memo specifies the frame format for transmission of IPv6 [IPV6] packets and the method of forming IPv6 link-local addresses over IPv4 domains. It also specifies the content of the Source/Target Link- layer Address option used in the Router Solicitation, RouterAdvertisement, Neighbor Solicitation, and Neighbor Advertisement andRedirect messages, when those messages are transmitted on an IPv4 multicast network.
The motivation for this method is to allow isolated IPv6 hosts, located on a physical link which has no directly connected IPv6 router, to become fully functional IPv6 hosts by using an IPv4 domain that supports IPv4 multicast as their virtual local link. It usesIPv4 multicast as a "virtual Ethernet". |

Extensions to the Domain Name System (DNS) are described that provide data integrity and authentication to security aware resolvers and applications through the use of cryptographic digital signatures.These digital signatures are included in secured zones as resource records. Security can also be provided through non-security awareDNS servers in some cases.
The extensions provide for the storage of authenticated public keys in the DNS. This storage of keys can support general public key distribution services as well as DNS security. The stored keys enable security aware resolvers to learn the authenticating key of zones in addition to those for which they are initially configured.Keys associated with DNS names can be retrieved to support other protocols. Provision is made for a variety of key types and algorithms.
In addition, the security extensions provide for the optional authentication of DNS protocol transactions and requests.
This document incorporates feedback on RFC 2065 from early implementers and potential users. |

| RFC 2543 | SIP: Session Initiation Protocol |
| |
|
|
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an application-layer control(signaling) protocol for creating, modifying and terminating sessions with one or more participants. These sessions include Internet multimedia conferences, Internet telephone calls and multimedia distribution. Members in a session can communicate via multicast or via a mesh of unicast relations, or a combination of these.
SIP invitations used to create sessions carry session descriptions which allow participants to agree on a set of compatible media types.SIP supports user mobility by proxying and redirecting requests to the user's current location. Users can register their current location. SIP is not tied to any particular conference control protocol. SIP is designed to be independent of the lower-layer transport protocol and can be extended with additional capabilities. |

This document describes a method by which a Service Provider with anIP backbone may provide VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) for its customers. MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is used for forwarding packets over the backbone, and BGP (Border GatewayProtocol) is used for distributing routes over the backbone. The primary goal of this method is to support the outsourcing of IP backbone services for enterprise networks. It does so in a manner which is simple for the enterprise, while still scalable and flexible for the Service Provider, and while allowing the Service Provider to add value. These techniques can also be used to provide a VPN which itself provides IP service to customers. |

As we approach the end of the millennium, much attention has been paid to the so-called "Y2K" problem. Nearly everyone now regrets the short-sightedness of the programmers of yore who wrote programs designed to fail in the year 2000. Unfortunately, the current fixes for Y2K lead inevitably to a crisis in the year 10,000 when the programs are again designed to fail.
This specification provides a solution to the "Y10K" problem which has also been called the "YAK" problem (hex) and the "YXK" problem(Roman numerals). |

The de facto standard application program interface (API) for TCP/IP applications is the "sockets" interface. Although this API was developed for Unix in the early 1980s it has also been implemented on a wide variety of non-Unix systems. TCP/IP applications written using the sockets API have in the past enjoyed a high degree of portability and we would like the same portability with IPv6 applications. But changes are required to the sockets API to supportIPv6 and this memo describes these changes. These include a new socket address structure to carry IPv6 addresses, new address conversion functions, and some new socket options. These extensions are designed to provide access to the basic IPv6 features required byTCP and UDP applications, including multicasting, while introducing a minimum of change into the system and providing complete compatibility for existing IPv4 applications. Additional extensions for advanced IPv6 features (raw sockets and access to the IPv6 extension headers) are defined in another document [4]. |

RFC 1240, "OSI connectionless transport services on top of UDP", was published as a Proposed Standard in June 1991 but at this time there do not seem to be any implementations which follow RFC 1240. In addition there is a growing concern over using UDP-based transport protocols in environments where congestion is a possibility. |

| RFC 2557 | MIME Encapsulation of Aggregate Documents, such as HTML (MHTML) |

| Formats: | txt pdf |
| Obsoletes: | RFC 2110 |
| Status: | PROPOSED STANDARD |
|
HTML [RFC 1866] defines a powerful means of specifying multimedia documents. These multimedia documents consist of a text/html root resource (object) and other subsidiary resources (image, video clip, applet, etc. objects) referenced by Uniform Resource Identifiers(URIs) within the text/html root resource. When an HTML multimedia document is retrieved by a browser, each of these component resources is individually retrieved in real time from a location, and using a protocol, specified by each URI.
In order to transfer a complete HTML multimedia document in a single e-mail message, it is necessary to: a) aggregate a text/html root resource and all of the subsidiary resources it references into a single composite message structure, and b) define a means by whichURIs in the text/html root can reference subsidiary resources within that composite message structure.
This document a) defines the use of a MIME multipart/related structure to aggregate a text/html root resource and the subsidiary resources it references, and b) specifies a MIME content-header(Content-Location) that allow URIs in a multipart/related text/html root body part to reference subsidiary resources in other body parts of the same multipart/related structure.
While initially designed to support e-mail transfer of complete multi-resource HTML multimedia documents, these conventions can also be employed to resources retrieved by other transfer protocols such as HTTP and FTP to retrieve a complete multi-resource HTML multimedia document in a single transfer or for storage and archiving of complete HTML-documents.
Differences between this and a previous version of this standard, which was published as RFC 2110, are summarized in chapter 12. |

| RFC 2561 | Base Definitions of Managed Objects for TN3270E Using SMIv2 |
| |
| Authors: | K. White, R. Moore. |
| Date: | April 1999 |
| Formats: | txt pdf |
| Status: | PROPOSED STANDARD |
|
This memo defines a Management Information Base (MIB) for configuring and managing TN3270E servers. TN3270E, defined by RFC 2355 [19], refers to the enhancements made to the Telnet 3270 (TN3270) terminal emulation practices. Refer to RFC 1041 [18], STD 8, RFC 854 [16], and STD 31, RFC 860 [17] for a sample of what is meant by TN3270 practices.
The MIB defined by this memo provides generic support for both host and gateway TN3270E server implementations. A TN3270E server connects a Telnet client performing 3270 emulation to a target SNA host over both a client-side network (client to TN3270E server) and an SNA Network (TN3270E server to target SNA host). The client-side network is typically TCP/IP, but it need not be.
A host TN3270E server refers to an implementation where the TN3270E server is collocated with the Systems Network Architecture (SNA)System Services Control Point (SSCP) for the dependent SecondaryLogical Units (SLUs) that the server makes available to its clients for connecting into a SNA network. A gateway TN3270E server resides on an SNA node other than an SSCP, either an SNA type 2.0 node, a boundary-function-attached type 2.1 node, or an APPN node acting in the role of a Dependent LU Requester (DLUR). Host and gatewayTN3270E server implementations typically differ greatly as to their internal implementation and system definition (SYSDEF) methods.
It is the intent that the MIB defined herein be extended by subsequent memos. For example, one such extension enables collection of TN3270E response time data. |

This memo defines the protocol and the Management Information Base(MIB) for performing response time data collection on TN3270 andTN3270E sessions by a TN3270E server. The response time data collected by a TN3270E server is structured to support both validation of service level agreements and performance monitoring ofTN3270 and TN3270E Sessions. This MIB has as a prerequisite theTN3270E-MIB, reference [20].
TN3270E, defined by RFC 2355 [19], refers to the enhancements made to the Telnet 3270 (TN3270) terminal emulation practices. Refer to RFC1041 [18], STD 8, RFC 854 [16], and STD 31, RFC 860 [17] for a sample of what is meant by TN3270 practices. |

| RFC 2563 | DHCP Option to Disable Stateless Auto-Configuration in IPv4 Clients |
| |
| Authors: | R. Troll. |
| Date: | May 1999 |
| Formats: | txt pdf |
| Status: | PROPOSED STANDARD |
|
Operating Systems are now attempting to support ad-hoc networks of two or more systems, while keeping user configuration at a minimum.To accommodate this, in the absence of a central configuration mechanism (DHCP), some OS's are automatically choosing a link-localIP address which will allow them to communicate only with other hosts on the same link. This address will not allow the OS to communicate with anything beyond a router. However, some sites depend on the fact that a host with no DHCP response will have no IP address. This document describes a mechanism by which DHCP servers are able to tell clients that they do not have an IP address to offer, and that the client should not generate an IP address it's own. |

This document is one of a set of documents, which together describe all aspects of a new Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). IPP is an application level protocol that can be used for distributed printing using Internet tools and technologies. This document defines the rules for encoding IPP operations and IPP attributes into a newInternet mime media type called "application/ipp". This document also defines the rules for transporting over HTTP a message body whose Content-Type is "application/ipp".
The full set of IPP documents includes:

The document, "Design Goals for an Internet Printing Protocol", takes a broad look at distributed printing functionality, and it enumerates real-life scenarios that help to clarify the features that need to be included in a printing protocol for the Internet. It identifies requirements for three types of users: end users, operators, and administrators. It calls out a subset of end user requirements that are satisfied in IPP/1.0. Operator and administrator requirements are out of scope for version 1.0.
The document, "Rationale for the Structure and Model and Protocol for the Internet Printing Protocol", describes IPP from a high level view, defines a roadmap for the various documents that form the suite of IPP specifications, and gives background and rationale for theIETF working group's major decisions.
The document, "Internet Printing Protocol/1.0: Model and Semantics", describes a simplified model with abstract objects, their attributes, and their operations that are independent of encoding and transport.It introduces a Printer and a Job object. The Job object optionally supports multiple documents per Job. It also addresses security, internationalization, and directory issues.
This document "Internet Printing Protocol/1.0: Implementer's Guide", gives advice to implementers of IPP clients and IPP objects.
The document "Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols" gives some advice to implementers of gateways between IPP and LPD (Line PrinterDaemon) implementations. |

This document is one of a set of documents, which together describe all aspects of a new Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). IPP is an application level protocol that can be used for distributed printing using Internet tools and technologies. This document gives some advice to implementers of gateways between IPP and LPD (Line PrinterDaemon). This document describes the mapping between (1) the commands and operands of the 'Line Printer Daemon (LPD) Protocol' specified inRFC 1179 and (2) the operations, operation attributes and job template attributes of the Internet Printing Protocol/1.0 (IPP). One of the purposes of this document is to compare the functionality of the two protocols. Another purpose is to facilitate implementation of gateways between LPD and IPP.
WARNING: RFC 1179 was not on the IETF standards track. While RFC1179 was intended to record existing practice, it fell short in some areas. However, this specification maps between (1) the actual current practice of RFC 1179 and (2) IPP. This document does not attempt to map the numerous divergent extensions to the LPD protocol that have been made by many implementers.
