IETF procedures generally require that a standards track RFC may not
have a normative reference to another standards track document at a
lower maturity level or to a non standards track specification (other
than specifications from other standards bodies).  For example, a
standards track document may not have a normative reference to an
informational RFC.  Exceptions to this rule are sometimes needed as
the IETF uses informational RFCs to describe non-IETF standards or
IETF-specific modes of use of such standards.  This
document clarifies and updates the procedure used in these
circumstances.

This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the
Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@IETF.ORG.  Requests to be
added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should
be sent to RFC-DIST-REQUEST@RFC-EDITOR.ORG.

Details on obtaining RFCs via FTP or EMAIL may be obtained by sending
an EMAIL message to rfc-info@RFC-EDITOR.ORG with the message body 
help: ways_to_get_rfcs.  For example:

        To: rfc-info@RFC-EDITOR.ORG
        Subject: getting rfcs

        help: ways_to_get_rfcs

Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either the
author of the RFC in question, or to RFC-Manager@RFC-EDITOR.ORG.  Unless
specifically noted otherwise on the RFC itself, all RFCs are for
unlimited distribution.

Submissions for Requests for Comments should be sent to

This document discusses SMTP operational experiences in IPv4/v6 dual
stack environments.  As IPv6-capable SMTP servers are deployed, it has
become apparent that certain configurations of MX records are
necessary for stable dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) SMTP operation.  This
document clarifies the existing problems in the transition period
between IPv4 SMTP and IPv6 SMTP.  It also defines operational
requirements for stable IPv4/v6 SMTP operation.

This document does not define any new protocol.

Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) services such as 800-number
routing (freephone), time-and-day routing, credit-card calling,
and virtual private network (mapping a private network number into a
public number) are realized by the Intelligent Network (IN).  This
document addresses means to support existing IN services from Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) endpoints for an IP-host-to-phone call.
The call request is originated on a SIP endpoint, but the services to
the call are provided by the data and procedures resident in the
PSTN/IN.  To provide IN services in a transparent manner to SIP
endpoints, this document describes the mechanism for interworking SIP
and Intelligent Network Application Part (INAP).

This document describes the Network Mobility (NEMO) Basic Support
protocol that enables Mobile Networks to attach to different points
in the Internet.  The protocol is an extension of Mobile IPv6 and
allows session continuity for every node in the Mobile Network as
the network moves.  It also allows every node in the Mobile Network
to be reachable while moving around.  The Mobile Router, which
connects the network to the Internet, runs the NEMO Basic Support
protocol with its Home Agent.  The protocol is designed so
that network mobility is transparent to the nodes inside the Mobile
Network.

This document is a product of the Network Mobility Working Group of
the IETF.

A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a compact sequence of
characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource.  This
specification defines the generic URI syntax and a process for
resolving URI references that might be in relative form, along with
guidelines and security considerations for the use of URIs on the
Internet.  The URI syntax defines a grammar that is a superset of all
valid URIs, allowing an implementation to parse the common
components of a URI reference without knowing the scheme-specific
requirements of every possible identifier.  This specification does
not define a generative grammar for URIs; that task is performed by
the individual specifications of each URI scheme.

This is now a Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the

This document defines a new protocol element, the Internationalized
Resource Identifier (IRI), as a complement to the Uniform Resource
Identifier (URI).  An IRI is a sequence of characters from the
Universal Character Set (Unicode/ISO 10646).  A mapping from IRIs to
URIs is defined, which means that IRIs can be used instead of URIs,
where appropriate, to identify resources.

The approach of defining a new protocol element was chosen instead
of extending or changing the definition of URIs.  This was done in
order to allow a clear distinction and to avoid incompatibilities with
existing software.  Guidelines are provided for the use and deployment
of IRIs in various protocols, formats, and software components that
currently deal with URIs.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
