    abstract =  {The end to end nature of the Internet has been broken. Boxes within the middle of the network may change contents of packets at the Internet layer or above without the knowledge of the end devices. As these middleboxes such as NATs and firewalls have proliferated within the Internet, protocols are being developed to communicate with them. This document addresses requirements for discovery of those boxes.},
