RFC 6301 | A Survey of Mobility Support in the Internet |
Summary Publication date: Jul 2011 Over the last two decades, many efforts have been devoted to developing solutions for mobility support over the global Internet, resulting in a variety of proposed solutions. We conducted a systematic survey of the previous efforts to gain an overall understanding on the solution space of mobility support. This document reports our findings and identifies remaining issues in providing ubiquitous and efficient Internet mobility support on a global scale. |
RFC 6302 | Logging Recommendations for Internet-Facing Servers |
Summary Publication date: Jun 2011 In the wake of IPv4 exhaustion and deployment of IP address sharing techniques, this document recommends that Internet-facing servers log port number and accurate timestamps in addition to the incoming IP address. |
RFC 6306 | Hierarchical IPv4 Framework |
Summary Publication date: Jul 2011 This document describes a framework for how the current IPv4 address space can be divided into two new address categories: a core address space (Area Locators, ALOCs) that is globally unique, and an edge address space (Endpoint Locators, ELOCs) that is regionally unique. In the future, the ELOC space will only be significant in a private network or in a service provider domain. Therefore, a 32x32 bit addressing scheme and a hierarchical routing architecture are achieved. The hierarchical IPv4 framework is backwards compatible with the current IPv4 Internet. This document also discusses a method for decoupling the location and identifier functions -- future applications can make use of the separation. The framework requires extensions to the existing Domain Name System (DNS), the existing IPv4 stack of the endpoints, middleboxes, and routers in the Internet. The framework can be implemented incrementally for endpoints, DNS, middleboxes, and routers. |
RFC 6308 | Overview of the Internet Multicast Addressing Architecture |
Summary Publication date: Jun 2011 The lack of up-to-date documentation on IP multicast address allocation and assignment procedures has caused a great deal of confusion. To clarify the situation, this memo describes the allocation and assignment techniques and mechanisms currently (as of this writing) in use. |
RFC 6315 | IANA Registration for Enumservice 'iax' |
Summary Publication date: Jul 2011 This document registers an Enumservice for the Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX) protocol according to the guidelines given in RFC 6117. |
RFC 6318 | Suite B in Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) |
Summary Publication date: Jun 2011 This document specifies the conventions for using the United States National Security Agency's Suite B algorithms in Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) as specified in RFC 5751. This document obsoletes RFC 5008. |
RFC 6331 | Moving DIGEST-MD5 to Historic |
Summary Publication date: Jul 2011 This memo describes problems with the DIGEST-MD5 Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) mechanism as specified in RFC 2831. It marks DIGEST-MD5 as OBSOLETE in the IANA Registry of SASL mechanisms and moves RFC 2831 to Historic status. |
