Title : Eliminating Duplicate Connectivity Checks in ICE
Author(s) : E. Cooper, P. Matthews
Filename : draft-matthews-mmusic-ice-eliminating-duplicates-00.txt
Pages : 18

The ICE (Interactive Connectivity Establishment) protocol is designed
to find the best possible transmission path between two endpoints in
the presence of intervening NAT (Network Address Translation) boxes.
It is a very versatile protocol, designed to operate in all possible
network topologies. This versatility occasionally results in a large
exchange of messages between the two endpoints.
This document proposes a modification which reduces the amount of
messaging ICE requires, without affecting the effectiveness of ICE.
This modification suppresses the transmission of Binding Requests from server-reflexive candidates. The result is increased efficiency
due to the suppressed connectivity checks, leading to fewer overall
messages and faster discovery of working paths.

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.
