Hi, As people have noticed, not much has happened in DCCP WG for the several past months. However, we still should finish the last (recently updated) WG document, after which the working group is expected to be done.
So: this Email starts the working group last call for "Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) Encapsulation for NAT Traversal (DCCP-UDP)" (draft-ietf-dccp-udpencap-10). The WGLC lasts two weeks and ends on Monday, April 16th. Please send possible comments to the dccp mailing list. For the udpencap document the last remaining issue, from the previous WGLC, has related to the text that speaks about negotiating the use of DCCP-UDP encapsulation, particularly in ICE. After discussing this with the authors, we concluded that coming up with a solid negotiation specification would still require significant amount of work and review cycles, and this is not worth delaying the document (and the WG) any further. Therefore, ICE negotiation is left for future work. If there is interest and energy, negotiation can be specified in a separate document, probably in a different working group. - Pasi
