[Dime] RE : RE: RE : RE: RE : Re: draft reply LS to 3GPP SA5 on RFC 4006..

Dear Maryse,

The clarification is intended to clarify the wording "new Diameter base protocol" used incorrectly in the LS and then clarify the notion of "obsoleted-by" used by IETF and the consequence on documents referencing the obsoleted RFC. And the 3GPP charging specification refers to both RFC4006 and RFC3588.

To make the recommendation clear, would the following rewording be acceptable?:

"any document using the IETF RFC 3588 as reference for the Diameter base protocol should be updated to refer to the new IETF RFC 6733. Therefore, as a general guideline, the IETF DIME WG recommends 3GPP WGs to follow this recommendation in their specifications when applicable. The same recommendation will apply for the revision of the IETF RFC 4006 when published by the IETF as for any new RFC obsoleting an old RFC."

Regards,

Lionel

Therefore, as a general guideline, the IETF DIME WG recommends 3GPP WGs to follow this recommendation in their specifications when applicable. When IETF RFC 4006 is refered-to, the recommendation is to further consider alignment with RFC 4006 planned to be updated with new IETF RFC 6733“

The aim of this update is to align the Diameter Credit-Control application specification with the IETF RFC 6733, fix existing known issues in the current specification and comply with the recommendations given in the IETF RFC 7423 on the design of Diameter application. The time line for the completion of the RFC 4006 update is set to November 2017.
