A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the IP Security Protocol Working Group of the IETF. Title : IPsec Interactions with ECN Author(s) : S. Floyd, D. Black, K. Ramakrishnan Filename : draft-ipsec-ecn-00.txt Pages : 15 Date : 06-Apr-99 IPsec supports secure communication over potentially insecure network components such as intermediate routers. IPsec protocols support two operating modes, transport mode and tunnel mode. Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) is an experimental addition to the IP architecture that provides indication of onset of congestion to delay- or loss- sensitive applications. ECN provides the congestion indication so as to enable adaptation to network conditions without the impact of dropped packets [RFC 2481]. Currently, the way ECN is specified does not conform to the manner in which IPsec tunnels are defined to be used. This document considers issues related to interactions between ECN and IPsec tunnel mode, and proposes two alternative solutions.

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ipsec-ecn-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
No recognizable part in multipart/alternative.
