The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Using the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) Over the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) ' <draft-ietf-netconf-soap-08.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Network Configuration Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Bert Wijnen and David Kessens. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-netconf-soap-08.txt Technical Summary The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) is applicable to a wide range of devices in a variety of environments. The emergence of Web Services gives one such environment, and is presently characterized by the use of the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). NETCONF finds many benefits in this environment: from the re-use of existing standards, to ease of software development, to integration with deployed systems. Herein, we describe SOAP over HTTP and SOAP over BEEP bindings for NETCONF. Working Group Summary The NETCONF Working Group has consensus to publish this document as a Proposed Standard. Protocol Quality It is likely that there are several implementations of this document in various stages of completion at this time. Several major equipment vendors have indicated interest in supporting this document, and some non-commercial implementations are also expected. Bert Wijnen reviewed this document for the IESG. Note to RFC Editor In the IAN Considerations section, please change: OLD: The IANA is requested to assign TCP ports for NETCONF for SOAP over HTTP and SOAP over BEEP. NEW: The IANA is requested to assign a TCP port for NETCONF over SOAP over BEEP, and a TCP port for NETCONF over SOAP over HTTPS. IANA Note -----Original Message----- From: Andy Bierman [mailto:ietf@andybierman.com] Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 14:58 To: Bert Wijnen Cc: iana@iana.org; Sam Hartman (E-mail) Subject: Port requests for draft-ietf-netconf-soap-08.txt Hi, Please assign a port number < 1024 for the NETCONF protocol over the Simple Object Access protocol, run over the Blocks Extensible Exchange protocol (netconf-soap-beep). Please assign a port number < 1024 for the NETCONF protocol over the Simple Object Access protocol, run over the HTTPS protocol (netconf-soap-https). There will be an RFC Editor note added to this document to replace the first sentence of section 5. OLD: The IANA is requested to assign TCP ports for NETCONF for SOAP over HTTP and SOAP over BEEP. NEW: The IANA is requested to assign a TCP port for NETCONF over SOAP over BEEP, and a TCP port for NETCONF over SOAP over HTTPS. thanks, Andy _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
