Attached is copy of the status report sent to the IESG Internet Area Director. Bob ------- Start of forwarded message ------- IPAE and SIP Status 17 March 1993 1) Implementations OS Organization Status ------- ------------ ---------------------- Solaris Sun Completed (telnet, ftp, tftp, ping) BSD 4.3 INRIA In progress. DOS/Windows Beame & Whiteside Software Completed (telnet, ftp, tftp) Mac OS Intercon In Progress VMS TGV Testing. IRIX Silicon Graphics In progress. KA9Q Sun In progress. TOOLS Organization Status ------- ------------ ---------------------- NetVisualizer Silicon Graphics Completed. Sniffer Network General In Progress. Snoop Sun Testing in progress MISC Organization Status ------- ------------ ---------------------- Bind INRIA Code done, needs testing. 2) Documentation "SIP: A Simple Internet Protocol", S. Deering, to be published in May '93 IEEE Network. "SIP Program Interfaces for BSD Systems", R. Gilligan, to be published as an Internet Draft. "SIP-RIP", G. Malkin, C. Huitema, Internet Draft, draft-ietf-sip-rip-00.txt "IDRP for IP", S. Hares, to be published as an Internet Draft. "Simple Internet Protocol (SIP) Specification", S. Deering, Internet Draft, draft-deering-sip-00.txt. "IP Address Encapsulation (IPAE): A Mechanism for Introducing a New IP", R. Hinden, D. Crocker, Internet Draft, draft-crocker-ip-encaps-01.txt. "IPv7 Criteria Analysis for IP Address Encapsulation (IPAE) and the Simple Internet Protocol (SIP)", R. Hinden, S. Deering, D. Crocker, Internet Draft, draft-ietf-ipae-ipv7-criteria-00.txt. 3) Integration Definition of a SIP address record (AA) for DNS. Draft available from INRIA. Developed a simple technique to support the FTP PORT command in 2-party and some 3-party FTP transactions without any change to the protocol. The PORT command is used by the FTP client to pass a 32 bit IPv4 address for the server to use in making the data connection. The FTP server generates the SIP destination address for the data connection by concatenating the high-order 32 bits of the client's SIP address with the 32 bit IPv4 address passed in FTP's PORT command. In the Sun prototype, implemented full binary compatibility for exiting IPv4 applications. Existing IPv4 applications that passively accept TCP connections or receive UDP datagrams can accept connections or datagrams that arrive via any of the three internet datagram formats: IPv4, IPAE or SIP. Existing IPv4 applications that transmit UDP datagrams or actively open TCP connections will generate traffic that uses the IPv4 form only. 4) Work in Progress Proposal for address resolution and discovery loosely based on ES-IS and ARP has been developed and is being discussed. A proposal for a new ICMP "Destination has Moved" message is being designed to deal with mobile hosts and for domains that change their address prefix. A study is available from Ran Atkinson on integration of SP3 over SIP. Work is underway to produce specification. A rough draft of a SIP Sensitivity Label Option has been distributed to the mailing list. It is titled "SIPSO, A Generic SIP Sensitivity Labeling Option". ------- End of forwarded message -------
