The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'IP Payload Compression Protocol (IPComp)' <draft-shacham-ippcp-rfc2393bis-08.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Erik Nordmark and Thomas Narten. Technical Summary This document updates and replaces RFC 2393 "IP Payload Compression Protocol (IPComp)". It contains minor revisions and clarifications based on interoperability experience. This document is essentially ready for advancement to Draft Standard. About twenty independent IPComp implementations have been tested for interoperability at two VPN Workshops in San Diego, CA held on September 18-22, 2000 and January 10-14, 2000. Implementations tested included those from Check Point, Cisco, Efficient Networks, HiFn, Indus River (Enterasys Networks), IRE, KAME, Linux FreeS/WAN, Lucent, NetLOCK, SSH and VPNet. This document is recycling at Proposed Standard at this time due to a dependency on IKE for setting up compression state. IKE (RFC 2409) is still a Proposed Standard. Working Group Summary There was support for advancing this document on the mailing list of the former WG and no issues were raised during last call. Protocol Quality This specification has been reviewed for the IESG by Thomas Narten.
