Re: [Ietf-behave] New draft: NAT Behavioral Requirements for TCP

I am surprised by this parallel effort while there is another draft
on TCP behavior already submitted and waiting for reviews. I am
pretty sure that you are already aware of this work (since you
were a co-author and decided to withdraw at the last minute).
But anyway, I don't see a lot of differences in the content in this
draft from the other TCP draft that I, Kaushik and Bryan had
submitted.
Chairs,
Could you please clarify as to what is your stand on this
parallel effort?

I must apologize for the delayed notification about a new draft --
the draft got held up as a result of a buggy IPR statement (now fixed).
The draft is a TCP counterpart to the NAT-UDP draft by Audet &
Jennings.  I have attempted to reproduce as little material possible
from the NAT-UDP draft while following its template.  As a result, this
draft may be read as a "diff" to the NAT-UDP draft (though there is
only one conflicting recommendation, for which see below).
Some elements require expansion following further discussion (timer
values for instance).
The recommendation on "Port Preservation" in this draft (=RECOMMENDED)
differs from the recommendation made in the NAT-UDP draft (a brief
discussion on this issue is given in Section 7.1).  If there is a
consensus for "Port Preservation" preservation behavior, then this
change ought to be folded into the NAT-UDP or protocol independent
behavior drafts.

Abstract

   This document specifies requirements for NAT devices when handling
   TCP traffic.  In order to arrive at the requirements, basic
   terminology regarding NAT TCP handling is defined.  The purpose of
   this document is to provide a specification of TCP handling by NAT
   devices so that TCP-using applications can work consistently.
