RE: TCP Mapping
Eric, I have a suggestion to you, and I will say it only once: please focus on the technical issues. This is the IETF mailing list for discussing EPP. It is NOT the list to release your resentment. If you want to make a technical point, please do and let's debate the pros and cons. Otherwise, it is just noise. Please respect yourself and others on the list. --Hong -----Original Message----- From: Eric Brunner-Williams in Portland Maine [mailto:brunner@nic-naa.net] Sent: Sunday, June 30, 2002 7:06 AM To: Liu, Hong Cc: 'ietf-provreg@cafax.se'; brunner@nic-naa.net Subject: Re: TCP Mapping Hong, You wrote: > Most (if not all) EPP implementations today use TCP and will stay that way > for a long time. I'm don't doubt the correctness of your statement concerning the NeuStar registry and client. I don't do business with NeuStar, or follow it with any particular interest, so other than what NeuStar contributors disclose on this list, concerning its implementation or plan of record, I wouldn't know (and don't care). I do know that I'm not the sole implementor who has, or is working on, an implementation of EPP using a BEEP channel profile. I'm surprised to learn of NeuStar's long-term de-committment from EPP over BEEP -- this month in particular. You wrote: > ... we want to make PUSH work using TCP.

Your initial note to this list, and Scott's careful recitation, reflect that your desire is to modify a transport draft that has no options, and which itself is not optional in the protocol draft. Just how is the NeuStar extension supposed to work? This way? o client implementations communicating with the NeuStar registry MUST NOT ignore the P-BIT, and o client implementations communicating with another registry MAY ignore the P-BIT? Or this way? o client implementations communicating with any registry MUST NOT ignore the P-BIT? You wrote: > 1. Can EPP PUSH be used for EPP over TCP? Could you suggest a definition for "EPP PUSH" please? I seem to have missed it. Eric
