The IESG has received a request from the Internet Area Working Group WG (intarea) to consider the following document: - 'Analysis of Solution Candidates to Reveal a Host Identifier (HOST_ID) in Shared Address Deployments' <draft-ietf-intarea-nat-reveal-analysis-05.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-03-08. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document is a collection of solutions to reveal a host identifier (denoted as HOST_ID) when a Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) or application proxies are involved in the path. This host identifier is used by a remote server to sort out the packets by sending host. The host identifier must be unique to each host under the same shared IP address. This document analyzes a set of solution candidates to reveal a host identifier; no recommendation is sketched in the document. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-intarea-nat-reveal-analysis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-intarea-nat-reveal-analysis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
