A New Internet Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the TELNET Working Group of
the IETF.
Title : Telnet Environment Option Interoperability Issues
Author(s) : D. Borman
Filename : draft-ietf-telnet-interoperability-00.txt
Pages : 4
RFC 1408, the specification for the Telnet Environment Option,
specifies definitions for VAR and VALUE that are reversed from the BSD
implementation of the Telnet Environment option. Since the BSD
implementation was the reference implementation that the RFC was
supposed to document, and is the base for many existing
implementations, there exists an interoperability problem between
implementations with conflicting definitions for VAR and VALUE.
This document describes a method for allowing implementors to ensure
that their implementation of the Environment option will be
interoperable with as many other implementations as possible, by
providing a set of heuristics that can be used to help identify which
definitions for VAR and VALUE are being used by the other side of the
connection.
