RFC 2999                  Summary of 2900-2999               August 2001


2997    Bernet          Nov 2000        Specification of the Null
                                        Service Type

The Null Service allows applications to identify themselves to network
Quality of Service (QoS) policy agents, using RSVP signaling.  However,
it does not require them to specify resource requirements. QoS policy
agents in the network respond by applying QoS policies appropriate for
the application (as determined by the network administrator).  This mode
of RSVP usage is particularly applicable to networks that combine
differentiated service (diffserv) QoS mechanisms with RSVP signaling.
In this environment, QoS policy agents may direct the signaled
application's traffic to a particular diffserv class of service.

2996    Bernet          Nov 2000        Format of the RSVP DCLASS
                                        Object

This document specifies the format of the DCLASS object and briefly
discusses its use.  [STANDARDS TRACK]


2995    Lu              Nov 2000        Pre-SPIRITS Implementations of
                                        PSTN-initiated Services

This document describes four existing implementations of SPIRITS-like
services from Korea Telecom, Lucent Technologies, NEC, and Telia in
cooperation with Nortel Networks.  SPIRITS-like services are those
originating in the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and
necessitating the interactions of the Internet and PSTN.  This memo
provides information for the Internet community.


2994    Ohta            Nov 2000        A Description of the MISTY1
                                        Encryption Algorithm

This document describes a secret-key cryptosystem MISTY1, which is block
cipher with a 128-bit key, a 64-bit block and a variable number of
rounds.  It documents the algorithm description including key scheduling
part and data randomizing part.  This memo provides information for the
Internet community.
