Hi,

I also want to say Thank You to everyone who has been involved in the process, providing feedback and input.

Best regards,

Christer

Congratulations and thanks to Christer, Staffan, and Eric, as well as everyone who engaged in the discussion on this list and in the WG meetings. This has been a long, hard, process.

This leaves only two drafts remaining on the SIMPLE charter!

Thanks!

Ben.

> Technical Summary
>
> RFC4976 describes how to use MSRP over special purpose MSRP relays, in order
> to traverse NATs and firewalls, and to allow network policy enforcement.
> However, many networks use other middleboxes for this purpose for other
> SIP-signaled media, and would like to use the same middleboxes for MSRP.
> This draft describes an extension to MSRP to make it easier for them to do
> so.
>
> Working Group Summary
>
> The goal of the draft that this one replaced
> (draft-ietf-simple-msrp-sessmatch) was controversial in the SIMPLE work
> group. The authors of RFC4975 and 4976 initially objected to the
> modification of the protocol to make it more friendly to non-standardized
> middleboxes such as SBCs. However, those objections were generally secondary
> to security related objections that the older draft interfered with some TLS
> use cases. The working group has a consensus that the security issues do not
> apply to the current draft.
>
> In summary, draft-ietf-simple-msrp-cema-03 still extends the MSRP protocol
> to make it more friendly to middleboxes such as SBCs. The work group
> believes it does no incremental harm when compared with the case of using
> MSRP as defined in RFC4975 in the presence of such middleboxes--which would
> either result in communication failure, or the failure to anchor media at
> the middlebox.
