The IAB is ready to ask the RFC-Editor to publish
Writing Protocol Models draft-iab-model-02.txt as an Informational RFC. This document provides methodology for providing protocol models to aid in communicating the functioning and features of a proposed protocol separately from the detailed syntax of the protocol messaging itself. The IAB solicits comments by October 15, 2004. Please send comments to the IAB ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). The document can be found at http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iab-model-02.txt From the Abstract: The IETF process depends on peer review. However, IETF documents are generally written to be useful for implementors, not for reviewers. In particular, while great care is generally taken to provide a complete description of the state machines and bits on the wire, this level of detail tends to get in the way of initial understanding. This document describes an approach for providing protocol "models" that allow reviewers to quickly grasp the essence of a system.
