[Uri-review] Request for review of new ipn: URI scheme

[Elwyn Davies <[e-mail]>]

Hi.

The DTN Research Group has a draft being examined by the IESG for
approval as an Experimental RFCthat contains the specification of the
ipn: URI scheme:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-dtnrg-cbhe-08

We would like to request review of the scheme prior to approval of the
draft.

The original motivation for the definition of this scheme is usage of
DTNs in space-based networks where bandwidth is at a premium, but its
usage is not confined to theis application.

It has been observed by the responsible AD that the ABNF syntax in the
draft is faulty (it uses ':=' rather than '=' throughout.. it will be
replaced with:

ipn-uri       = "ipn:" ipn-hier-part
ipn-hier-part = node-nbr nbr-delim service-nbr ; a path-rootless
node-nbr      = 1*DIGIT
nbr-delim     = "."
service-nbr   = 1*DIGIT

We also need to specify the References for the scheme - the only
relevant reference is the defining draft, which will hopefully be an
experimental RFC shortly.

Regards,
Elwyn Davies
