The IESG has approved the following document: - 'An Alternative Connection Model for the Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP)' (draft-ietf-simple-msrp-acm-10.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Gonzalo Camarillo and Robert Sparks. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-simple-msrp-acm/ Technical Summary Relevant content can frequently be found in the abstract and/or introduction of the document. If not, this may be an indication that there are deficiencies in the abstract or introduction. The document defines an alternative connection model for Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) User Agents (UAs), which uses the connection-oriended media (COMEDIA) mechanism in order to create the MSRP transport connection. The model allows MSRP UAs behind Network Address Translators (NATs) to negotiate which UA will initiate the establishment of the TCP connection, in order for MSRP messages to traverse the NAT.
