The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Threat Analysis for TCP Extensions for Multi-path Operation with Multiple Addresses' (draft-ietf-mptcp-threat-08.txt) as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the Multipath TCP Working Group. The IESG contact person is Lars Eggert. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mptcp-threat/ Technical Summary This document describes the threat analysis for Multi-path TCP which allows an endpoint to use multiple IP addresses to exchange data. The goal of this document is to provide the information of possible threats in Multi-path TCP and recommendable solutions to make MPTCP as secure as the current TCP. The information on this document is important for the basic design of MPTCP protocol. Additional strong secure mechanisms are out-of-scope of this document and will be addressed by other documents. Working Group Summary This draft has been discussed in all IETF meetings since the creation of the WG. There is a strong consensus in the WG for publication as an informational RFC. Document Quality This document was reviewed by various people and has been through WGLC successfully. The MPTCP protocol has been designed based on the recommendations in this document. Personnel Yoshifumi Nishida (nishida@sfc.wide.ad.jp) is the document shepherd. Lars Eggert (lars.eggert@nokia.com) reviewed the document for the IESG. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
