The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Roughtime' (draft-ietf-ntp-roughtime-19.txt) as Experimental RFC
This document is the product of the Network Time Protocols Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Erik Kline and Éric Vyncke. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ntp-roughtime/ Technical Summary This document describes Roughtime—a protocol that aims to achieve two things: secure rough time synchronization even for clients without any idea of what time it is, and giving clients a format by which to report any inconsistencies they observe between time servers. This document specifies the on-wire protocol required for these goals, and discusses aspects of the ecosystem needed for it to work. Working Group Summary Was there anything in the WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough? Nothing of note. Document Quality Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type, or other Expert Review, what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type Review, on what date was the request posted? Several existing implementations. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Karen O'Donoghue. The Responsible Area Director is Erik Kline. IANA Note Two new registries, two mime types, one port requested. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
