The IESG has received a request from the Multiparty Multimedia Session Control WG (mmusic) to consider the following document: - 'The Evaluation of Different Network Address Translator (NAT) Traversal Techniques for Media Controlled by Real-time Streaming Protocol (RTSP)' <draft-ietf-mmusic-rtsp-nat-evaluation-14.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 2014-06-13. 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. Some helpful state about this draft is available here: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/mmusic/current/msg13385.html. Abstract This document describes several Network Address Translator (NAT) traversal techniques that were considered to be used for establishing the RTP media flows controlled by the Real-time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). Each technique includes a description of how it would be used, the security implications of using it and any other deployment considerations it has. There are also discussions on how NAT traversal techniques relate to firewalls and how each technique can be applied in different use cases. These findings were used when selecting the NAT traversal for RTSP 2.0, which is specified in a separate document. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mmusic-rtsp-nat-evaluation/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mmusic-rtsp-nat-evaluation/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
