This document discusses how to secure block storage and storage
discovery protocols running over IP (Internet Protocol) using IPsec
and IKE (Internet Key Exchange). Threat models and security protocols
are developed for iSCSI (Internet Protocol Small Computer System
Interface), iFCP (Internet Fibre Channel Storage Networking) and FCIP
(Fibre Channel over TCP/IP), as well as the iSNS (Internet Storage
Name Server) and SLPv2 (Service Location Protocol v2) discovery
protocols. Performance issues and resource constraints are analyzed.
This document is a product of the IP Storage Working Group of the
IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
