A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. BCP 150 RFC 5597 Title: Network Address Translation (NAT) Behavioral Requirements for the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol Author: R. Denis-Courmont Status: Best Current Practice Date: September 2009 Mailbox: rem@videolan.org Pages: 9 Characters: 18933 See Also: BCP00150 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-behave-dccp-05.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5597.txt This document defines a set of requirements for NATs handling the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP). These requirements allow DCCP applications, such as streaming applications, to operate consistently, and they are very similar to the TCP requirements for NATs, which have already been published by the IETF. Ensuring that NATs meet this set of requirements will greatly increase the likelihood that applications using DCCP will function properly.
