A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6108 Title: Comcast's Web Notification System Design Author: C. Chung, A. Kasyanov, J. Livingood, N. Mody, B. Van Lieu Status: Informational Stream: Independent Date: February 2011 Mailbox: chae_chung at cable.comcast.com, alexander_kasyanov at cable.comcast.com, jason_livingood at cable.comcast.com, nirmal_mody at cable.comcast.com, brian at vanlieu.net Pages: 24 Characters: 55329 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-livingood-web-notification-09.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6108.txt The objective of this document is to describe a method of providing critical end-user notifications to web browsers, which has been deployed by Comcast, an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Such a notification system is being used to provide near-immediate notifications to customers, such as to warn them that their traffic exhibits patterns that are indicative of malware or virus infection. There are other proprietary systems that can perform such notifications, but those systems utilize Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology. In contrast to DPI, this document describes a system that does not rely upon DPI, and is instead based in open IETF standards and open source applications. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes. INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
