| RFC 3101 |
 The OSPF Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA) Option
|
|
Summary Publication date: Jan 2003 This memo documents an optional type of Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) area that is somewhat humorously referred to as a "not-so- stubby" area (or NSSA). NSSAs are similar to the existing OSPF stub area configuration option but have the additional capability of importing AS external routes in a limited fashion. The OSPF NSSA Option was originally defined in RFC 1587. The functional differences between this memo and RFC 1587 are explained in Appendix F. All differences, while expanding capability, are backward-compatible in nature. Implementations of this memo and of RFC 1587 will interoperate. |
| RFC 3102 |
Realm Specific IP: Framework
|
|
Summary Publication date: Oct 2001 This document examines the general framework of Realm Specific IP (RSIP). RSIP is intended as a alternative to NAT in which the end- to-end integrity of packets is maintained. We focus on implementation issues, deployment scenarios, and interaction with other layer-three protocols. |
| RFC 3103 |
Realm Specific IP: Protocol Specification
|
|
Summary Publication date: Oct 2001 This document presents a protocol with which to implement Realm Specific IP (RSIP). The protocol defined herein allows negotiation of resources between an RSIP host and gateway, so that the host can lease some of the gateway's addressing parameters in order to establish a global network presence. This protocol is designed to operate on the application layer and to use its own TCP or UDP port. In particular, the protocol allows a gateway to allocate addressing and control parameters to a host such that a flow policy can be enforced at the gateway. |
| RFC 3104 |
RSIP Support for End-to-end IPsec
|
|
Summary Publication date: Oct 2001 This document proposes mechanisms that enable Realm Specific IP (RSIP) to handle end-to-end IPsec (IP Security). |
| RFC 3105 |
Finding an RSIP Server with SLP
|
|
Summary Publication date: Oct 2001 This document contains an SLP service type template that describes the advertisements made by RSIP servers for their services. Service Location Protocol (SLP) is an IETF standards track protocol specifically designed to allow clients to find servers offering particular services. Since RSIP (Realm Specific IP) clients require a mechanism to discover RSIP servers, SLP is a natural match for a solution. The service type template is the basis for an Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) standard definition of the advertisements offered by RSIP servers, an important step toward interoperability. |
| RFC 3106 |
ECML v1.1: Field Specifications for E-Commerce
|
|
Summary Publication date: Apr 2001 Customers are frequently required to enter substantial amounts of information at an Internet merchant site in order to complete a purchase or other transaction, especially the first time they go there. A standard set of information fields is defined as the first version of an Electronic Commerce Modeling Language (ECML) so that this task can be more easily automated, for example by wallet software that could fill in fields. Even for the manual data entry case, customers will be less confused by varying merchant sites if a substantial number adopt these standard fields. In addition, some fields are defined for merchant to consumer communication. |
| RFC 3107 |
Carrying Label Information in BGP-4
|
|
Summary Publication date: May 2001 This document specifies the way in which the label mapping information for a particular route is piggybacked in the same Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Update message that is used to distribute the route itself. When BGP is used to distribute a particular route, it can be also be used to distribute a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) label which is mapped to that route. |
| RFC 3108 |
Conventions for the use of the Session Description Protocol (SDP) for ATM Bearer Connections
|
|
Summary Publication date: May 2001 This document describes conventions for using the Session Description Protocol (SDP) described in RFC 2327 for controlling ATM Bearer Connections, and any associated ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL). The AALs addressed are Type 1, Type 2 and Type 5. This list of conventions is meant to be exhaustive. Individual applications can use subsets of these conventions. Further, these conventions are meant to comply strictly with the SDP syntax as defined in RFC 2327. |
| RFC 3109 |
Request to Move STD 39 to Historic Status
|
|
Summary Publication date: May 2001 This memo changes the status of STD 39, BBN Report 1822, "Specification of the Interconnection of a Host and an IMP", from Standard to Historic. |
| RFC 3110 |
RSA/SHA-1 SIGs and RSA KEYs in the Domain Name System (DNS)
|
|
Summary Publication date: May 2001 This document describes how to produce RSA/SHA1 SIG resource records (RRs) in Section 3 and, so as to completely replace RFC 2537, describes how to produce RSA KEY RRs in Section 2. Since the adoption of a Proposed Standard for RSA signatures in the DNS (Domain Name Space), advances in hashing have been made. A new DNS signature algorithm is defined to make these advances available in SIG RRs. The use of the previously specified weaker mechanism is deprecated. The algorithm number of the RSA KEY RR is changed to correspond to this new SIG algorithm. No other changes are made to DNS security. |
| RFC 3111 |
Service Location Protocol Modifications for IPv6
|
|
Summary Publication date: May 2001 This document defines the Service Location Protocol Version 2's (SLPv2) use over IPv6 networks. Since this protocol relies on UDP and TCP, the changes to support its use over IPv6 are minor. This document does not describe how to use SLPv1 over IPv6 networks. There is at the time of this publication no implementation or deployment of SLPv1 over IPv6. It is RECOMMENDED that SLPv2 be used in general, and specifically on networks which support IPv6. |
| RFC 3112 |

| RFC 3125 |
Electronic Signature Policies
|
|
Summary Publication date: Sep 2001 This document defines signature policies for electronic signatures. A signature policy is a set of rules for the creation and validation of an electronic signature, under which the validity of signature can be determined. A given legal/contractual context may recognize a particular signature policy as meeting its requirements. A signature policy has a globally unique reference, which is bound to an electronic signature by the signer as part of the signature calculation. The signature policy needs to be available in human readable form so that it can be assessed to meet the requirements of the legal and contractual context in which it is being applied. To allow for the automatic processing of an electronic signature another part of the signature policy specifies the electronic rules for the creation and validation of the electronic signature in a computer processable form. In the current document the format of the signature policy is defined using ASN.1. The contents of this document is based on the signature policy defined in ETSI TS 101 733 V.1.2.2 (2000-12). |
| RFC 3126 |
Electronic Signature Formats for long term electronic signatures
|
|
Summary Publication date: Sep 2001 This document defines the format of an electronic signature that can remain valid over long periods. This includes evidence as to its validity even if the signer or verifying party later attempts to deny (i.e., repudiates the validity of the signature). The format can be considered as an extension to RFC 2630 and RFC 2634, where, when appropriate additional signed and unsigned attributes have been defined. The contents of this Informational RFC is technically equivalent to ETSI TS 101 733 V.1.2.2. |
| RFC 3127 |

End-to-end Performance Implications of Slow Links
|
|
Summary Publication date: Jul 2001 This document makes performance-related recommendations for users of network paths that traverse "very low bit-rate" links. "Very low bit-rate" implies "slower than we would like". This recommendation may be useful in any network where hosts can saturate available bandwidth, but the design space for this recommendation explicitly includes connections that traverse 56 Kb/second modem links or 4.8 Kb/second wireless access links - both of which are widely deployed. This document discusses general-purpose mechanisms. Where application-specific mechanisms can outperform the relevant general- purpose mechanism, we point this out and explain why. This document has some recommendations in common with RFC 2689, "Providing integrated services over low-bitrate links", especially in areas like header compression. This document focuses more on traditional data applications for which "best-effort delivery" is appropriate. |
| RFC 3151 |

IAB/IESG Recommendations on IPv6 Address
|
|
Summary Publication date: Sep 2001 This document provides recommendations to the addressing registries (APNIC, ARIN and RIPE-NCC) on policies for assigning IPv6 address blocks to end sites. In particular, it recommends the assignment of /48 in the general case, /64 when it is known that one and only one subnet is needed and /128 when it is absolutely known that one and only one device is connecting. The original recommendations were made in an IAB/IESG statement mailed to the registries on September 1, 2000. This document refines the original recommendation and documents it for the historical record. |

IPv6 Multihoming Support at Site Exit Routers
|
|
Summary Publication date: Oct 2001 The document describes a mechanism for basic IPv6 multihoming support, and its operational requirements. Unlike currently- practiced IPv4 multihoming, the technique does not impact the worldwide routing table size, nor IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol) routing table size in upstream ISPs. The mechanism can be combined with more sophisticated (or complex) multihoming support mechanisms, and can be used as a foundation for other mechanisms. The document is largely based on RFC 2260 by Tony Bates. |

Script MIB Extensibility Protocol Version 1.1
|
|
Summary Publication date: Oct 2001 The Script MIB extensibility protocol (SMX) defined in this memo separates language specific runtime systems from language independent Script MIB implementations. The IETF Script MIB defines an interface for the delegation of management functions based on the Internet management framework. A management script is a set of instructions that are executed by a language specific runtime system. |

| RFC 3181 |
Signaled Preemption Priority Policy Element
|
|
Summary Publication date: Oct 2001 This document describes a preemption priority policy element for use by signaled policy based admission protocols (such as the Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) and Common Open Policy Service (COPS). Preemption priority defines a relative importance (rank) within the set of flows competing to be admitted into the network. Rather than admitting flows by order of arrival (First Come First Admitted) network nodes may consider priorities to preempt some previously admitted low priority flows in order to make room for a newer, high- priority flow. This memo corrects an RSVP POLICY_DATA P-Type codepoint assignment error in RFC 2751. |
| RFC 3182 |
Identity Representation for RSVP
|
|
Summary Publication date: Oct 2001 This document describes the representation of identity information in POLICY_DATA object for supporting policy based admission control in the Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP). The goal of identity representation is to allow a process on a system to securely identify the owner and the application of the communicating process (e.g., user id) and convey this information in RSVP messages (PATH or RESV) in a secure manner. We describe the encoding of identities as RSVP policy element. We describe the processing rules to generate identity policy elements for multicast merged flows. Subsequently, we describe representations of user identities for Kerberos and Public Key based user authentication mechanisms. In summary, we describe the use of this identity information in an operational setting. This memo corrects an RSVP POLICY_DATA P-Type codepoint assignment error and a field size definition error in ErrorValue in RFC 2752. |

Domain Security Services using S/MIME
|
|
Summary Publication date: Oct 2001 This document describes how the S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) protocol can be processed and generated by a number of components of a communication system, such as message transfer agents, guards and gateways to deliver security services. These services are collectively referred to as 'Domain Security Services'. |

Summary Publication date: Oct 2001 This document describes a way to include a key identifier in a CMS (Cryptographic Message Syntax) enveloped data structure, so that the content encryption key can be re-used for further enveloped data packets. |
| RFC 3186 |
MAPOS/PPP Tunneling mode
|
|
Summary Publication date: Dec 2001 This document specifies tunneling configuration over MAPOS (Multiple Access Protocol over SONET/SDH) networks. Using this mode, a MAPOS network can provide transparent point-to-point link for PPP over SONET/SDH (Packet over SONET/SDH, POS) without any additional overhead. |

Reliable Delivery for syslog
|
|
Summary Publication date: Nov 2001 The BSD Syslog Protocol describes a number of service options related to propagating event messages. This memo describes two mappings of the syslog protocol to TCP connections, both useful for reliable delivery of event messages. The first provides a trivial mapping maximizing backward compatibility. The second provides a more complete mapping. Both provide a degree of robustness and security in message delivery that is unavailable to the usual UDP-based syslog protocol, by providing encryption and authentication over a connection-oriented protocol. |
