The IESG recommends that 'IPv6 Tunnel Broker with the Tunnel Setup Protocol (TSP)' <draft-blanchet-v6ops-tunnelbroker-tsp-03.txt> NOT be published as an an Experimental RFC. The IESG contact person is Mark Townsley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-blanchet-v6ops-tunnelbroker-tsp-03.txt The process for such documents is described at http://www.rfc-editor.org/indsubs.html. Thank you, The IESG Secretary Technical Summary A tunnel broker with the Tunnel Setup Protocol (TSP) enables the establishment of tunnels of various inner protocols, such as IPv6 or IPv4, inside various outer protocols packets, such as IPv4, IPv6 or UDP over IPv4 for IPv4 NAT traversal. The control protocol (TSP) is used by the tunnel client to negotiate the tunnel with the broker. A mobile node implementing TSP can be connected to both IPv4 and IPv6 networks whether it is on IPv4 only, IPv4 behind a NAT or on IPv6 only. A tunnel broker may terminate the tunnels on remote tunnel servers or on itself. This document describes the TSP protocol within the model of the tunnel broker model. Working Group Summary This is an independent submission via RFC Editor. Protocol Quality David Kessens reviewed this document for the IESG using the guidelines of RFC 3932. IESG Note 3. The IESG thinks that publication is harmful to the IETF work done in the softwire WG and recommends not publishing the document at this time. Once draft-ietf-softwire-hs-framework-l2tpv2 is published as an RFC, publication of this document will no longer be considered harmful. When publishing, please include the following IESG Note: 1. For documents that specify a protocol or other technology, and that have been considered in the IETF at one time: The content of this RFC was at one time considered by the IETF, and therefore it may resemble a current IETF work in progress or a published IETF work. This RFC is not a candidate for any level of Internet Standard. The IETF disclaims any knowledge of the fitness of this RFC for any purpose and in particular notes that the decision to publish is not based on IETF review for such things as security, congestion control, or inappropriate interaction with deployed protocols. The RFC Editor has chosen to publish this document at its discretion. Readers of this RFC should exercise caution in evaluating its value for implementation and deployment. See RFC 3932 for more information. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
