This document specifies requirements for a generic route-tracing application. It also specifies requirements for a protocol that will support that application. Network operators will use the generic route-tracing application to verify proper operation of the IP forwarding plane. They will also use the application to discover details regarding tunnels that support IP forwarding. The generic route-t…
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Extension Header Field for Service Route Discovery During Registration
This document defines a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) extension header field used in conjunction with responses to REGISTER requests to provide a mechanism by which a registrar may inform a registering user agent (UA) of a service route that the UA may use to request outbound services from the registrar's domain.
Chinese Lottery Cryptanalysis Revisited: The Internet as a Codebreaking Tool
This document revisits the so-called Chinese Lottery massively-parallel cryptanalytic attack. It explores Internet-based analogues to the Chinese Lottery, and their potentially-serious consequences.
Definitions of Supplemental Managed Objects for ATM Interface
This memo defines objects used for managing ATM-based interfaces, devices, and services, in addition to those defined in RFC 2515, the ATM-MIB, to provide additional support for the management of ATM Switched Virtual Connections (SVCs) and ATM Permanent Virtual Connections (PVCs).
Real Time Control Protocol (RTCP) attribute in Session Description Protocol (SDP)
The Session Description Protocol (SDP) is used to describe the parameters of media streams used in multimedia sessions. When a session requires multiple ports, SDP assumes that these ports have consecutive numbers. However, when the session crosses a network address translation device that also uses port mapping, the ordering of ports can be destroyed by the translation. To handle this, we propose…
