A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : A Simple Middlebox Protocol
Author(s) : D. Bryant
Filename : draft-bryan-midcom-simple-strawman-00.txt
Pages : 19
Date : 15-Oct-01
This is a very simple strawman protocol for agents to request NAT
address translations and firewall pinholes from a middlebox. This
protocol uses the underlying transport for reliability and to avoid
reinventing TCP. This protocol does not use an existing protocol
like COPS, SOAP, HTTP or DIAMETER as these protocols include
significant complexity that is not required to solve the middlebox
problem.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
