Requirements for a MASQUE Protocol to Proxy IP Traffic
draft-ietf-masque-ip-proxy-reqs-00
Abstract
There is interest among MASQUE working group participants in
designing a protocol that can proxy IP traffic over HTTP. This
document describes the set of requirements for such a protocol.
Discussion of this work is encouraged to happen on the MASQUE IETF
mailing list masque@ietf.org or on the GitHub repository which
contains the draft: https://github.com/ietf-wg-masque/draft-ietf-
masque-ip-proxy-reqs.
