	DCCP Extensions for Multipath Operation with Multiple Addresses
	draft-ietf-tsvwg-multipath-dccp-24.txt   Date: 29/04/2025   Authors: Markus Amend, Anna Brunstrom, Andreas Kassler, Veselin Rakocevic, Stephen Johnson   Working Group: Transport and Services Working Group (tsvwg)	Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) communications, as defined in RFC 4340, are inherently restricted to a single path per connection, despite the availability of multiple network paths between peers. The ability to utilize multiple paths simultaneously for a DCCP session can enhance network resource utilization, improve throughput, and increase resilience to network failures, ultimately enhancing the user experience. Use cases for Multipath DCCP (MP-DCCP) include mobile devices (e.g., handsets, vehicles) and residential home gateways that maintain simultaneous connections to distinct network types, such as cellular and Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) or cellular and fixed access networks. Compared to existing multipath transport protocols, such as Multipath TCP (MPTCP), MP-DCCP is particularly suited for latency- sensitive applications with varying requirements for reliability and in-order delivery. This document specifies a set of protocol extensions to DCCP that enable multipath operations. These extensions maintain the same service model as DCCP while introducing mechanisms to establish and utilize multiple concurrent DCCP flows across different network paths.

	Roughtime
	draft-ietf-ntp-roughtime-14.txt   Date: 22/04/2025   Authors: Watson Ladd, Marcus Dansarie   Working Group: Network Time Protocols (ntp)	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.

	Reliable and Available Wireless (RAW) Technologies
	draft-ietf-raw-technologies-17.txt   Date: 15/04/2025   Authors: Pascal Thubert, Dave Cavalcanti, Xavier Vilajosana, Corinna Schmitt, Janos Farkas   Working Group: Deterministic Networking (detnet)	This document surveys the short and middle range radio technologies that are suitable to provide a Deterministic Networking / Reliable and Available Wireless (RAW) service over, presents the characteristics that RAW may leverage, and explores the applicability of the technologies to carry deterministic flows, as of its time of publication. The studied technologies are Wi-Fi 6/7, TimeSlotted Channel Hopping (TSCH), 3GPP 5G, and L-band Digital Aeronautical Communications System (LDACS).

	New Protocols Using TLS Must Require TLS 1.3
	draft-ietf-uta-require-tls13-12.txt   Date: 14/04/2025   Authors: Rich Salz, Nimrod Aviram   Working Group: Using TLS in Applications (uta)	TLS 1.3 use is widespread, it has had comprehensive security proofs, and it improves both security and privacy over TLS 1.2. Therefore, new protocols that use TLS must require TLS 1.3. As DTLS 1.3 is not widely available or deployed, this prescription does not pertain to DTLS (in any DTLS version); it pertains to TLS only. This document updates RFC9325 and discusses post-quantum cryptography and the security and privacy improvements over TLS 1.2 as a rationale for that update.

	Domain-based Message Authentication,Reporting,and Conformance (DMARC)
	draft-ietf-dmarc-dmarcbis-41.txt   Date: 04/04/2025   Authors: Todd Herr, John Levine   Working Group: Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance (dmarc)	This document describes the Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) protocol. DMARC permits the owner of an email's Author Domain to enable validation of the domain's use, to indicate the Domain Owner's or Public Suffix Operator's message handling preference regarding failed validation, and to request reports about the use of the domain name. Mail receiving organizations can use this information when evaluating handling choices for incoming mail. This document obsoletes RFCs 7489 and 9091.

	Applicability of Interfaces to Network Security Functions to Network-Based Security Services
	draft-ietf-i2nsf-applicability-19.txt   Date: 03/04/2025   Authors: Jaehoon Jeong, Sangwon Hyun, Tae-Jin Ahn, Sue Hares, Diego Lopez   Working Group: Interface to Network Security Functions (i2nsf)	This document describes the applicability of Interface to Network Security Functions (I2NSF) to network-based security services in Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) environments, such as firewall, deep packet inspection, or attack mitigation engines.
	Extensions to the Access Control Lists (ACLs) YANG Model
	draft-ietf-netmod-acl-extensions-17.txt   Date: 03/04/2025   Authors: Oscar de Dios, Samier Barguil, Mohamed Boucadair, Qin WU   Working Group: Network Modeling (netmod)	RFC 8519 defines a YANG data model for Access Control Lists (ACLs). This document specifies a set of extensions that fix many of the limitations of the ACL model as initially defined in RFC 8519. Specifically, it introduces augmentations to the ACL base model to enhance its functionality and applicability. The document also defines IANA-maintained modules for ICMP types and IPv6 extension headers.
	A Realization of Network Slices for 5G Networks Using Current IP/MPLS Technologies
	draft-ietf-teas-5g-ns-ip-mpls-18.txt   Date: 03/04/2025   Authors: Krzysztof Szarkowicz, Richard Roberts, Julian Lucek, Mohamed Boucadair, Luis Contreras   Working Group: Traffic Engineering Architecture and Signaling (teas)	Network slicing is a feature that was introduced by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in mobile networks. Realization of 5G slicing implies requirements for all mobile domains, including the Radio Access Network (RAN), Core Network (CN), and Transport Network (TN). This document describes a Network Slice realization model for IP/MPLS networks with a focus on the Transport Network fulfilling 5G slicing connectivity service objectives. The realization model reuses many building blocks currently commonly used in service provider networks.
	TLS 1.2 is in Feature Freeze
	draft-ietf-tls-tls12-frozen-08.txt   Date: 03/04/2025   Authors: Rich Salz, Nimrod Aviram   Working Group: Transport Layer Security (tls)	Use of TLS 1.3, which fixes some known deficiencies in TLS 1.2, is growing. This document specifies that outside of urgent security fixes (as determine by TLS WG consensus), new TLS Exporter Labels, or new Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) Protocol IDs, no changes will be approved for TLS 1.2. This prescription does not pertain to DTLS (in any DTLS version); it pertains to TLS only.
