The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Middlebox Communications (MIDCOM) Protocol Semantics ' <draft-ietf-midcom-rfc3989-bis-02.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Middlebox Communication Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Magnus Westerlund and Lars Eggert. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-midcom-rfc3989-bis-02.txt Technical Summary This memo specifies semantics for a Middlebox Communication (MIDCOM) protocol to be used by MIDCOM agents for interacting with middleboxes such as firewalls and Network Address Translators (NATs). The semantics discussion does not include any specification of a concrete syntax or a transport protocol. However the implementation of the sematics in draft-ietf-midcom-mib does require the sematics description as normative reference. Therefore the semantics declaration is reclassified from informational to proposed standard. Working Group Summary There is consensus in the WG to reclassify this document to proposed standard to provide the necessary normative language for draft-ietf-midcom-mib. Protocol Quality Magnus Westerlund reveiwed the document for IESG. The memo was published as RFC 3989 with informational status and has then been somewhat modified to make it more suitable as proposed standard.
