The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'Essential correction for IPv6 ABNF and URI comparison in RFC3261 '
<draft-ietf-sip-ipv6-abnf-fix-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Session Initiation Protocol Working Group.
The IESG contact persons are Robert Sparks and Gonzalo Camarillo.
A URL of this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-sip-ipv6-abnf-fix-05.txt
Technical Summary
This memo corrects the Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) production
rule associated with generating IPv6 literals in RFC3261. It also
clarifies the rule for Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) comparison
when the URIs contain textual representation of IP addresses.
Working Group Summary
This document had consensus in the SIP Working group.
Document Quality
This document received a high level of review and implementation.
Personnel
Robert Sparks is the responsible area director
RFC Editor Note
In Section 5. Security Considerations
OLD:
This document does not introduce any new security considerations.
NEW:
This document does not introduce any new security considerations
beyond those described in [1].
In section 3.1:
OLD:
Accordingly, this document updates RFC3261 as follows: the
<IPv6address> and <IPv4address> production rules MUST be deleted from
RFC3261 and MUST be replaced with the production rules of the same
name in RFC3986 (and reproduced above.) These changes, when made to
RFC3261, will make <hexpart>, <hexseq>, and <hex4> production rules
obsolete. Thus this document also mandates that the <hexpart>,
<hexseq>, and <hex4> production rules MUST be deleted from the ABNF
of RFC3261.
NEW:
Accordingly, this document updates RFC3261 as follows: the
<IPv6address> and <IPv4address> production rules from RFC3261
MUST NOT be used and instead, the production rules of the same
name in RFC3986 (and reproduced above) MUST be used. This
will render <hexpart>, <hexseq> and <hex4> production rules
in RFC3261 obsolete; as such, these three production rules
--- namely, <hexpart>, <hexseq> and <hex4> --- from RFC3261
MUST NOT be used.
The use of the <IPv4address> production rule from
RFC3986 no longer allows syntactically valid --- though
semantically invalid --- SIP URIs of the form
"sip:***@444.555.666.777".
