Dear NETCONF WG, I want to bring your attention to draft-kwatsen-reverse-ssh, which I just submitted for review. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kwatsen-reverse-ssh-00 Abstract This memo presents a technique for a SSH (Secure Shell) server to initiate the underlying TCP connection to the SSH client. This role reversal is necessary in cases where the SSH client would otherwise be unable to initiate an SSH connection to the SSH server, such as a device "calling home" on its first boot. After discussing with our chairs, Bert and Mehmet, as well as our AD Ronald Bonica, it was decided to NOT bring this submission to the NETCONF WG for consideration. Even though this submission is primarily to support NETCONF, its impact is limited to SSH. Since the SECSH working group has concluded, the Security Area Directors, Sean and Stephen, recommended posting an announcement regarding this individual submission to the SAAG and IETF-SSH mailing lists, which I have done. I suspect that all the action regarding this submission will occur on those lists. If the ideas presented in this submission are of interest to you, please consider stating such on those lists as I imagine there will be an initial amount of skepticism regarding its importance. Thanks, Kent
