NAT WG - Oslo - Tuesday, July 13th

Chair:  Matt Holdrege <[email protected]>
Reported by:
Gabriel Montenegro [email protected]
George Tsirtsis <[email protected]>

agenda bashing - The Agenda was accepted

Milestone status
The NAT Terminology and Considerations draft was approved by the IESG and will soon receive an RFC number. This is a very important document as it describes the terms that all IETF documents should use when discussing NAT.

Other drafts in the works are...
dns-alg draft
traditional nat
nat api
security for nat domains
nat friendly app designs
hnat
snmp alg
rsip (framework, protocol, ipsec)

Each can be found on the IETF NAT WG web page.

There is some delay in the milestones due to the extensive review of the NAT terminology draft.


Protocol Complications - Matt Holdrege -
draft-ietf-protocol-complications-01.txt

The updated draft is available on the IETF web site.

Matt solicited input from NAT WG and all other WG chairs but has not received a lot of feedback. We need to understand which applications do not work with NAT including non-IETF applications. (vendor specific etc).

There is a suggestion to make this Informational RFC shell and put the text on the Web so it can be updated
Someone pointed out that Web - RFC links may be unstable so RFC should be stable and self contained
The Weird WG is trying to put all RFCs in Web Form, NAT could be a pilot project
Matt wants to make the ITU and other external bodies aware of this document so IP technology developed outside the IETF can consider NAT.
Matt also is thinking about more than the general usage of NAT. The typical use: home user going out to global internet (1 nat) and back into a corporation (2nd nat).

Vern said that the doc should be as self-contained as possible.


RSIP - Mike Borella <[email protected]>
Three RSIP drafts exist. A framework document , the RSIP protocols specification and RSIP interactions with IPSEC document.

Framework Document

Public Internet to private intranet connections need to be studied further.
George Tsirtsis: May want to look at DSTM and NAT-PT in NGTRANS WGs that study a similar problem.
