The IESG has approved the following document: - 'DHCP options for PANA Authentication Agents ' <draft-ietf-dhc-paa-option-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Jari Arkko and Mark Townsley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dhc-paa-option-05.txt Technical Summary The document specifies a DHCPv4 option and a DHCPv6 option that allow a PANA client to learn addresses of PANA Authentication Agents. Working Group Summary There was consensus for adopting this draft at the wg meeting at IETF 63. Consensus was verified on the mailing list, and got adopted in September 2005. After that it has been discussed in both dhc and pana WGs and rev 03 went to a joint WGLC in dhc and pana WGs in August 2006. Based on comments received during last call rev 04 was produced. Protocol Quality The protocol specified in this document specifies new DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 options and as there are no special requirements on option encodings or usage, this should be trivial to implement. This specification was reviewed for the IESG by Jari Arkko. Note to RFC Editor Please change the definition of " PANA Authentication Agent (PAA)" in Section 3 to the following: The protocol entity in the access network whose responsibility is to verify the credentials provided by a PANA client (PaC) and authorize network access to the access device. The PAA and the EAP authenticator (and optionally the EAP server) are co-located in the same node. In Section 7, change a PANA Client could be led to contact a rogue PANA Authentication Agent, possibly one that then intercepts call requests or denies service. to a PANA Client could be led to contact a rogue PANA Authentication Agent, possibly one that then intercepts authentication requests and/or denies network access to the access device. Similarly in Section 7, change In most of the networks, to In most of networks, And finally in Section 8, change Norten to Narten _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
