A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Framework for Interface to Network Security Functions Authors : Edward Lopez Diego Lopez Linda Dunbar John Strassner XiaoJun Zhuang Joe Parrott Ramki Krishnan Seetharama Rao Durbha Filename : draft-merged-i2nsf-framework-04.txt Pages : 23 Date : 2015-10-19 Abstract: This document defines a set of abstractions for guiding the functionality provided by I2NSF. In the design of interfaces to allow for the provisioning of network security functions (NSFs), a critical consideration is to prevent the creation of implied constraints on NSF capability and functionality. This document makes the recommendation that such interfaces be designed from the paradigm of processing packets and flows on the network. NSFs ultimately are packet-processing engines that inspect packets traversing networks, either directly or in the context of sessions in which the packet is associated.
