The IESG has approved following documents:
- 'Definitions of Managed Objects for Robust Header Compression '
<draft-ietf-rohc-mib-rtp-09.txt> as a Proposed Standard
- 'RObust Header Compression (ROHC):Terminology and Channel Mapping
Examples'
<draft-ietf-rohc-terminology-and-examples-02.txt> as an Informational RFC
These documents are products of the Robust Header Compression Working Group.
The IESG contact persons are Allison Mankin and Jon Peterson.
Technical Summary
This document defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes a set of managed objects that allow
monitoring of running instances of RObust Header Compression (ROHC).
The managed objects defined in this memo are grouped into three MIB
modules. The ROHC-MIB module defines managed objects shared by all
ROHC profiles, the ROHC-UNCOMPRESSED-MIB module defines managed
objects specific to the ROHC uncompressed profile, the ROHC-RTP-MIB
module defines managed objects specific to the ROHC RTP (Real-Time
Transport Protocol) profile, the ROHC UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
profile, the ROHC ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) profile, and
the ROHC LLA (Link Layer Assisted) profile.
The Informational document "ROHC Terminology and Channel Mapping
Overview" discusses terms such as ROHC instances, ROHC
channels, ROHC feedback, and ROHC contexts, and how these terms
relate to other terms such as network elements and IP interfaces,
commonly used for example when addressing MIB issues.
Working Group Summary
The working group strongly supported advancement of these documents.
Protocol Quality
The ROHC MIB received extensive review on behalf of the MIB Doctors by
C.M. Heard. It was additionally reviewed for the IESG by Bert Wijnen.
The documents were also reviewed for the IESG by Allison Mankin.
RFC Editor Note
Replace the Informational document's title:
Old:
ROHC: Terminology and Channel Mapping Examples
New:
RObust Header Compression (ROHC):
Terminology and Channel Mapping Overview
Replace the entire Security Considerations of "ROHC: Terminology and
Channel Mapping Examples" (the Informational document) :
Old:
Security Considerations
This document is of an informative nature, and does not have any
security aspects to address.
New:
Security Considerations
The clear understanding of ROHC channels and their relations to
IP interfaces and the physical medium plays a critical role in
ensuring secure usage of ROHC. This document is therefore a valuable
adjunct to the Security Considerations found in RFC 3095 and other ROHC
specifications, however, as it just reviews information and definitions,
it does not add new security issues to the ROHC protocol specifications
