The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Transport Subsystem for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) ' <draft-ietf-isms-tmsm-18.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Integrated Security Model for SNMP Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Pasi Eronen and Tim Polk. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-isms-tmsm-18.txt Technical Summary The document defines a Transport Subsystem, extending the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) architecture defined in RFC 3411. The subsystem can contain Transport Models comparable to other subsystems in the RFC 3411 architecture. The Transport Subsystem can be used to expand the transports to include secure transports such as SSH or TLS. Working Group Summary The working group went over several revisions of this document while developing a Transport Model for SSH. The document did stabilize several revisions ago and has mainly been kept back to track clarifications and to ensure the new subsystem works with the SSH transport defined in a companion document. There has been strong WG consensus on revision 16 of this document. Document Quality There are two known implementations in progress of secure transport models. A concrete SSH subsystem has been worked out by the ISMS working group and a DTLS subsystem is in progress as an individual draft and it seems the Transport Subsystem defined in this document is capable to supports both secure transports. Personnel The document shepherd is Juergen Schoenwaelder, and the responsible area director is Pasi Eronen. The IANA Expert for the registries in this document is David Harrington (ietfdbh@comcast.net). _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
