Title : Requirements for Firewall Configuration Protocol

Filename : draft-bajko-nsis-fw-reqs-04.txt

3GPP2 is working in specifying a way to allow the mobile network
subscribers to configure the Firewalls in their network according to
their needs[3].
This document defines requirements for a Firewall Configuration
Protocol. It has been produced by a number of 3GPP2 member companies
and endorsed by 3GPP2. It contains 3GPP2 requirements to a next
generation firewall configuration protocol.
With the number of threats that keep increasing on the Internet,
many networks have decided to deploy firewalls to reduce the
possible risks and protect their users as well as their network
resources. Firewalls can however present many issues with new
protocols, applications and scenarios to be supported. Data packets
may be discarded at the firewalls. In addition, the clients may
often be the only parties that know the requirements and details of
the data communications. This document therefore explains why a
protocol allowing clients to configure firewalls would be useful,
and attempts to identify the requirements and features to be
supported by such a protocol.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
