The IESG has no problem with the publication of 'Delay-Tolerant Networking Metadata Extension Block' <draft-irtf-dtnrg-bundle-metadata-block-10.txt> as an Experimental RFC. The IESG would also like the IRSG to review the comments in the datatracker (http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-dtnrg-bundle-metadata-block/) related to this document and determine whether or not they merit incorporation into the document. Comments may exist in both the ballot and the comment log. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-dtnrg-bundle-metadata-block/ The process for such documents is described at http://www.rfc-editor.org/indsubs.html Thank you, The IESG Secretary Technical Summary This document defines an extension block that may be used with the DTN Bundle Protocol. This Metadata Extension Block is designed to carry additional information that DTN nodes can use to make processing decisions regarding bundles, such as deciding whether to store a bundle or determining to which nodes to forward a bundle. The metadata that is carried in a metadata block must be formatted according to the metadata type that is identified in the block's metadata type field. One specific metadata type, for carrying URIs as metadata, is defined in this document. Other metadata types may be defined in separate documents. Working Group Summary This document is the product of the IRTF Delay-Tolerant Networking Research Group (DTNRG). Document Quality This is a research document produced by the IRTF. Personnel The Document Shepherd is Elwyn Davies. The Responsible Area Director is Peter Saint-Andre. IESG Note 1. The IESG has concluded that there is no conflict between this document and IETF work. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
