The IESG has received a request from the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions WG (tcpm) to consider the following document: - 'Defending Against Sequence Number Attacks' <draft-ietf-tcpm-rfc1948bis-01.txt> as a Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-11-02. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies an algorithm for the generation of TCP Initial Sequence Numbers (ISNs), such that the chances of an off-path attacker guessing the sequence numbers in use by a target connection are reduced. This document revises (and formally obsoletes) RFC 1948, and takes the ISN generation algorithm originally proposed in that document to Standards Track. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tcpm-rfc1948bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tcpm-rfc1948bis/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
