The Transport Area Working Group (tsvwg) working group in the Transport Area of the IETF has been rechartered. For additional information, please contact the Area Directors or the working group Chairs. Transport Area Working Group (tsvwg) ------------------------------ Current Status: Active Working Group Chairs: James Polk <jmpolk@cisco.com> Gorry Fairhurst <gorry@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Transport Area Directors: Wesley Eddy <wes@mti-systems.com> David Harrington <ietfdbh@comcast.net> Transport Area Advisor: David Harrington <ietfdbh@comcast.net> Mailing Lists: General Discussion: tsvwg@ietf.org To Subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tsvwg Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tsvwg/ Description of Working Group: The Transport Area receives occasional proposals for the development and publication of RFCs dealing with transport topics that are not in scope of an existing working group or do not justify the formation of a new working group. TSVWG will serve as the forum for developing such work items in the IETF. The TSVWG mailing list is an open discussion forum for such work items, when they arise. The working group meets if there are active proposals that require discussion. The working group milestones are updated as needed to reflect the current work items and their associated milestones. The currently active TSVWG work items mostly fall under the Following topics: (A) Maintenance of the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), which involves bug fixes to the SCTP specifications and their progression along the standards track. This work item also includes a small number of modular extensions to SCTP. In order to maintain stable specifications, additional work on SCTP in TSVWG requires Area Director approval. (B) Maintenance of the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) which involves bug fixes to RSVP specifications and their progression along the standards track. This work item may also include a small number of extensions to both RSVP and Integrated Services or advisory documents to address specific application scenarios. In order to maintain stable specifications, additional work on RSVP and/or Integrated Services in TSVWG requires Area Director approval. (C) Maintenance of IP Differentiated Services (DiffServ) mechanisms, which involves mostly advisory documents on the use of DiffServ in specific application scenarios. Other work items related to DiffServ require Area Director approval. (D) Selected other work items, which are mostly in TSVWG for historic reasons. Additional work that does not fall under one of the above topics in TSVWG must satisfy four conditions: (1) WG consensus on the suitability and projected quality of the proposed work item. (2) A core group of WG participants with sufficient energy and expertise to advance the work item according to the proposed schedule. (3) Commitment from the WG as a whole to provide sufficient and timely review of the proposed work item. (4) Agreement by the ADs, who, depending on the scope of the proposed work item, may decide that an IESG review is needed first. Goals and Milestones: Done Updates to RFC 793 to resolve conflict between diffserv and TCP interpretation of IP Precedence submitted for publication as Proposed Standard Done Addition to RFC 2018 to use TCP SACK for detecting unnecessary retransmissions submitted for publication as Proposed Standard Done Submit I-D on TCP Congestion Window Validation to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard Done Submit I-D on Computing TCP's Retransmission Timer to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard. Done Submit revised ID for ECN to IESG for consideration as a proposed standard Done Submit ID on UDP-lite to IESG for consideration as a proposed standard Done TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) unicast congestion control algorithm submitted to IESG for consideration as a proposed standard Done Submit ID for SCTP unreliable transport mode to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard Done Submit 'Alternate Semantics for the ECN Field' to IESG for consideration as BCP Done Submit 'Aggregation of RSVP Reservations over MPLS TE/DS-TE Tunnels' to IESG for consideration as PS Done Submit Submit 'QoS Signaling in a Nested Virtual Private Network' to IESG for consideration as Informational Done Submit 'Generic Aggregate RSVP Reservations' to IESG for consideration as PS Done Submit 'Quick-Start for TCP and IP' to IESG for consideration as Experimental Done Submit 'TCP Extended Statistics MIB' to IESG for consideration as PS Done Submit 'Authenticated Chunks for Stream Control Transmission Protocol' to IESG as consideration as PS Done Submit 'Padding Chunk and Parameter for SCTP' to IESG for consideration as PS Done Submit 'SCTP Dynamic Address Reconfiguration' to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard Done Submit revision of 'Stream Control Transmission Protocol' to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard Done Submit 'Security Attacks Found Against SCTP and Current Countermeasures' to IESG for consideration as Informational Done Submit 'Specifying New Congestion Control Algorithms' to IESG for consideration as Best Current Practice Done Submit 'Aggregation of DiffServ Service Classes' to IESG for consideration as Informational Done Submit 'Explicit Congestion Marking in MPLS' to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard Done Submit 'User-Defined Errors for RSVP' to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard Done Submit 'RSVP Extensions for Emergency Services' to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard Done Submit 'DSCPs for Capacity-Admitted Traffic' to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard Done Submit 'RSVP Proxy Approaches' to IESG for consideration as Informational Done Submit 'RSVP Extensions for Path-Triggered RSVP Receiver Proxy' to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard Done Submit 'UDP Usage Guidelines for Application Designers' to IESG for consideration as Best Current Practice Done Request publication of 'Support for RSVP in Layer 3 VPNs' as Proposed Standard RFC Done Submit 'Port Randomization for Transport Protocols' to the IESG for consideration as a Best Current Practice Done Submit 'Applicability of Keying Methods for RSVP Security' to IESG for consideration as Informational Done Request publication of 'IANA Procedures for the Transport Protocol Port Number Space' as BCP RFC Done Request publication of 'Datagram Transport Layer Security for Stream Control Transmission' as Proposed Standard Done Request publication of 'Layered Encapsulation of Congestion Notification' as Proposed Standard Done Submit 'SCTP Chunk Flags Registration' to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard May 2011 Submit 'SCTP Stream Reconfiguration' to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard May 2011 Submit 'Sockets API Extensions for SCTP' to IESG for consideration as Informational Aug 2011 Submit 'Byte and Packet Congestion Notification' to IESG for consideration as Informational RFC Oct 2011 Submit 'Deprecation of ICMP Source Quench messages' to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard Dec 2011 Submit 'SCTP NAT Support' to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
