[netmod] Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-lear-ietf-netmod-mud-02.txt

[Eliot Lear <[e-mail]>]

Hi everyone,

There is a new version of draft-ietf-lear-netmod-mud out there.  In
discussions with various WG chairs it seems like the best approach is to
(a) consolidate the drafts a bit and (b) proceed in opsawg with this
work.  That is what this draft does.  Both the PKIX constraint and the
DHCP options are rolled in here.  In addition, several other changes
have been made, a full list of which can be found in the appendix.  Here
are few of the bigger ones (apart from the merge):

  * This version changes the serialization from XML to JSON.  Tooling is
    definitely going in the direction of JSON.  The initial reason for
    XML is that it is commonly used by routers.  We're pretty sure that
    on the whole, this stuff won't be directly consumed by routers, and
    those who do consume it can learn JSON ;-).  Thanks to Cullen
    Jennings for nudging in this direction.
  * We now include a signature mechanism for the MUD files.  It was
    always the plan to do this.  There were two choices: CMS/PKCS#7 or
    JWS.  Again for tooling's sake, so that people don't need to roll
    their own, especially for anything security related, we've gone with
    CMS and a detached signature at that.  Thanks to John Bashinsky and
    others for their advice on this.  This area in particular could
    stand close scrutiny.
  * Per a suggestion from Mark Nottingham, we are now registering a MIME
    application type.  That registration is included in the IANA
    considerations.
  * The constraint X.509 specification specification has changed
    somewhat based on advice from Tom Gindin.
  * We've included a small number of additional elements in the model,
    mostly around flow/packet directionality.

Comments and edits are very welcome!
