The IESG has approved the following document: - 'More Features for the Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol - TWAMP ' <draft-ietf-ippm-more-twamp-02.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the IP Performance Metrics Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Lars Eggert and Magnus Westerlund. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ippm-more-twamp-02.txt Technical Summary The IETF has completed its work on TWAMP - the Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol. This memo describes a simple extension to TWAMP, the option to use different security modes in the TWAMP- Control and TWAMP-Test protocols. Working Group Summary This document was discussed at various IETF meetings in 2008. There was no controversy in the WG process. Consensus was smooth. Document Quality At least 3 vendors are implementing TWAMP. Personnel The document shepherd is Henk Uijterwaal (henk@ripe.net). Lars Eggert (lars.eggert@nokia.com) reviewed the ID for the IESG. RFC Editor Note RFC Editor's Note: Title: OLD More features for TWAMP NEW Mixed Security Mode for TWAMP 5. Security Considerations OLD The extended mixed-mode of operation permits stronger security/ integrity protection on the TWAMP-Control protocol while simultaneously emphasizing accuracy or efficiency on the TWAMP-Test protocol, thus making it possible to increase overall security when compared to the previous options. NEW The extended mixed-mode of operation permits stronger security/ integrity protection on the TWAMP-Control protocol while simultaneously emphasizing accuracy or efficiency on the TWAMP-Test protocol, thus making it possible to increase overall security when compared to the previous options (when resource constraints would have forced less security for TWAMP-Control and unauthenticated TWAMP-Test is not a significant concern). _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
