The IESG has approved the following document: - 'PCP Third Party ID Option' (draft-ietf-pcp-third-party-id-option-08.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Port Control Protocol Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Brian Haberman and Terry Manderson. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pcp-third-party-id-option/ Technical Summary This document describes a new Port Control Protocol (PCP) option called THIRD_PARTY_ID. It is designed to be used in combination with the THIRD_PARTY option specified in RFC 6887 but can also be used without it. The THIRD_PARTY_ID serves to identify a Third Party in situations where a third party's IP address contained in the THIRD_PARTY option does not provide sufficient information to create requested mappings in a PCP-controlled device. Working Group Summary Was there anything in WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough? No Document Quality Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Yes, one implementation Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? None besides the one implementation notes above. Are there any reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? Dave Thaler Personnel Who is the Document Shepherd? Reinaldo Penno Who is the Responsible Area Director? Brian Haberman <brian@innovationslab.net>
