SEND [RFC3971] uses the SHA-1 hash algorithm [SHA1] to generate the contents of the Key Hash field and the Digital Signature field of the RSA Signature option. It also indirectly uses a hash algorithm (SHA-1, MD5, etc.) in the PKIX certificates [RFC5280] used for router authorization in the Authorization Delegation...

Global IPv6 deployment did not happen as was forecast 10 years ago. Network providers were hesitant to make the first move while IPv4 was and is still working well.

[RFC4787] and [RFC5382] describe Network Address Translator (NAT) behaviors and point out that two key aspects of NAT are mappings (a.k.a. bindings) and keeping them refreshed. This introduces a derived requirement for applications engaged in a multimedia session involving NAT traversal: they need to generate a...

On the other hand, supporting seamless terminal...
