Internet Internet Draft J. Loughney Document: draft-loughney-aaa-cc-3gpp-00.txt Nokia Expires: October 2002 October 2002 Provisional Diameter Command Codes for 3GPP Release 5 Status of this Memo This document is an Internet-Draft and is in full conformance with all provisions of Section 10 of RFC2026 [1]. Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet- Drafts. Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."

Abstract This document authorizes IANA to allocate a block of Diameter command codes for the Third Generation Partnership Project Release 5. This document does not pass judgment on the usage of these command codes. Further more, these command codes are for use for Release 5. For future releases, these codes cannot be reused, but must be allocated according to the Diameter Base specification. Loughney Expires - April 2003 [Page 1]

Provisional Diameter Command Codes for 3GPP Release 5 1. Introduction The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is defining the Internet Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) as part of their Release 5 architecture. As part of this architecture, they have defined a Diameter application [29.229] and [29.329] which requires the use of new Diameter command codes [DIAM]. 1.1 Conventions used in this document The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC-2119 [2119]. 1.2 Abbreviations 3GPP Third Generation Partnership Project IANA Internet Assigned Name Authority IMS Internet Multimedia Subsystem 2. Command Code Allocation This document authorizes IANA to allocate Diameter Command Codes 300 through 313, for use in 3GPP Release 5. The protocols defined by these command codes have not been carefully reviewed by the IETF community and are not considered to be general mechanisms appropriate for broad usage. More work is needed to develop general mechanisms and may become a work item of an IETF Working Group. These command codes are intended to be used for 3GPP Release 5 only [29.228], [29.229]. Future 3GPP releases are expected to make use of alternate mechanisms. Command codes for 3GPP Release 6 to be allocated from the standard command space, with IETF documentation. The current intent as agreed with 3GPP is to develop a standards track application addressing the needs of AAA for SIP/SDP and encompassing the requirements of the cellular community. 3. Security Consideration This document does not impact the security of the Internet. 4. References Loughney Expires - April 2003 [Page 3]
