At the meeting at IETF97 I volunteered to create a document to describe benefits provided by middleboxes, to aid in evaluating the trade-offs of exposing transport-layer information to the network. Please see the draft below for our initial ideas on this subject. As always, comments and additional material welcome. -Dave & Juho -----Original Message----- From: internet-drafts@ietf.org [mailto:internet-drafts@ietf.org] Sent: Monday, January 23, 2017 12:37 PM To: Dave Dolson; Juho Snellman Subject: New Version Notification for draft-dolson-plus-middlebox-benefits-00.txt A new version of I-D, draft-dolson-plus-middlebox-benefits-00.txt has been successfully submitted by David Dolson and posted to the IETF repository. Name: draft-dolson-plus-middlebox-benefits Revision: 00 Title: Benefits of Middleboxes to the Internet Document date: 2017-01-23 Group: Individual Submission Pages: 12 URL: https://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-dolson-plus-middlebox-benefits-00.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dolson-plus-middlebox-benefits/ Htmlized: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dolson-plus-middlebox-benefits-00 Abstract: At IETF97, at a meeting regarding the Path Layer UDP Substrate (PLUS) protocol, a request was made for documentation about the benefits that might be provided by permitting middleboxes to have some visibility to transport-layer information. This document summarizes benefits provided to the Internet by middleboxes -- intermediary devices that provide functions apart from normal IP routing between a source and destination host [RFC3234]. RFC3234 defines a taxonomy of middleboxes and issues in the internet circa 2002. Most of those middleboxes utilized or modified application-layer data. This document will focus primarily on devices that observe and act on information found in the transport layer, most commonly TCP at this time. A primary goal of this document is to provide information to working groups developing new transport protocols, in particular the PLUS and QUIC working groups, to aid understanding of what might be gained or lost by design decisions. Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org. The IETF Secretariat
