Request for a review of the "NAT/Firewall NSIS Signaling Layer Protocol (NSLP) "

Hi all,

Currently, the NSIS working group is finalizing the "NAT/Firewall NSIS
Signaling=20
Layer Protocol (NSLP)" for signaling middleboxes.  The current document
can
be found here:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-nsis-nslp-natfw-11.txt

NSIS is working on a path-coupled signaling protocol, to signal nodes
along
the data patch.  As both NAT and Firewalls are along the data path, NSIS
signaling is developing a protocol for allow end nodes to signal these
boxes.

As both BEHAVE and MIDCOM have been working on related issues, I'd like
to
encourage people to read the document and send comments and questions to
the
mailing list - [email protected].  As long as your subject lines are clearly
marked, I'll enable posting rights so that you don't have to join the
NSIS
mailing list.

Additionally, please try not to cross-post discussion on the other
mailing
lists; unless the BEHAVE & MIDCOM chairs feel that cross-posting would
be beneficial.

thanks,
John=20
