New Internet Draft on SIMCO

Hi,

since the announcement of the new version of SIMCO has been
dropped somehow:

We have posted a new version of the SImple Middlebox Configuration
(SIMCO) protocol.  This version is now binary encoded and aligned
with the latest developments of the MIDCOM semantics.

You can find a copy here:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-stiemerling-midcom-simco-04.txt


Abstract

This document describes a protocol for controlling middleboxes such
as firewalls and network address translators.  It is a fully
compliant implementation of the MIDCOM semantics described in
[RFCXXXX].  Compared to earlier experimental versions of the SIMCO
protocol, this version 3 uses binary message encodings in order to
reduce resource requirements.
