The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Locating IEEE 802.21 Mobility Servers using DNS ' <draft-ietf-mipshop-mos-dns-discovery-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Mobility for IP: Performance, Signaling and Handoff Optimization Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Jari Arkko and Ralph Droms. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mipshop-mos-dns-discovery-07.txt Technical Summary This document defines application service tags that allow service location without relying on rigid domain naming conventions, and DNS procedures for discovering servers which provide Mobility Services. Mobility Services are used to assist an MN in handover preparation (network discovery) and handover decision (network selection). The services addressed by this document are the Media Independent Handover Services defined in [1]. Working Group Summary This is a part of the 802.21 transport functionality, a chartered work item of the MIPSHOP WG. Significant questions were raised in AD review about the draft. Discussion with DNSDIR members eventually resolved most of these concerns, and after some modification the draft is moving forward. Document Quality Jari Arkko has reviewed this specification for the IESG. Several DNSDIR reviews have been obtained. Personnel Vijay Devarapalli is the Document Shepherd. The responsible Area Director is Jari Arkko. RFC Editor Note Please change this in the IANA considerations section: OLD: New entries to the table that specify additional transport protocols for the existing Service Fields may be registered by IANA on a First Come First Served' basis [RFC5226]. NEW: New entries to the table that specify additional transport protocols for the existing Service Fields may similarly be registered by IANA through Standards Action [RFC5226]. Also, please add to the IANA considerations section: NEW: IANA is also requested to register MIHIS, MIHES, MIHCS as service names in the Protocol and Service Name registry. And add to the end of the Security Considerations section: NEW: Where inputs to the procedure described in this document are fed via DHCP, DHCP vulnerabilities can also cause issues. For instance, the inability to authenticate DHCP discovery results may lead to the mobility service results also being incorrect, even if the DNS process was secured. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
