Technical Summary
Different elements of intrusion detection systems (IDS) need to
communicate with each other. This document defines a standard
data model, and implements it as an XML DTD.
Working Group Summary
There were no major issues during the original approval of this
document. However the working group lost momentum addressing IESG
comments. By the time the document was next reviewed there was not
enough of a working group to form an informed consensus. So this
document is being advanced as an experimental submission rather than
proposed standard.
Protocol Quality
This document was reviewed for the IESG by Steve Bellovin.
IESG Note
The content of this RFC was at one time considered by the IETF,
but the working group concluded before this work was approved as a
standards-track protocol. This RFC is not a candidate for any level
of Internet Standard. The IETF disclaims any knowledge of the
fitness of this RFC for any purpose and in particular notes that
the decision to publish is not based on complete IETF review for such
things as security, congestion control, or inappropriate
interaction with deployed protocols. The IESG has chosen to
publish this document in order to document the work as it was when the
working group concluded and to encourage experimentation and
development of the technology. Readers of this RFC
should exercise caution in evaluating its value for
implementation and deployment.
