The IESG has received a request from the TURN Revised and Modernized WG (tram) to consider the following document: - 'Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN)' <draft-ietf-tram-stunbis-15.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-02-20. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) is a protocol that serves as a tool for other protocols in dealing with Network Address Translator (NAT) traversal. It can be used by an endpoint to determine the IP address and port allocated to it by a NAT. It can also be used to check connectivity between two endpoints, and as a keep-alive protocol to maintain NAT bindings. STUN works with many existing NATs, and does not require any special behavior from them. STUN is not a NAT traversal solution by itself. Rather, it is a tool to be used in the context of a NAT traversal solution. This document obsoletes RFC 5389. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tram-stunbis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tram-stunbis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
