The IESG has received a request from the Transport Layer Security WG (tls) to consider the following document: - 'Record Size Limit Extension for Transport Layer Security (TLS)' <draft-ietf-tls-record-limit-02.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 2018-03-20. 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 An extension to Transport Layer Security (TLS) is defined that allows endpoints to negotiate the maximum size of protected records that each will send the other. This replaces the maximum fragment length extension defined in RFC 6066. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tls-record-limit/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tls-record-limit/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
