draft-petithuguenin-behave-turn-uri-bis-00

Abstract

This document defines two URI schemes that can be used to provision the configuration values needed by the resolution mechanism defined in [I‑D.ietf‑behave‑turn‑uri] (Petit-Huguenin, M., “Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN) Resolution Mechanism,” November 2009.).

1.  Introduction

[I‑D.ietf‑behave‑turn‑uri] (Petit-Huguenin, M., “Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN) Resolution Mechanism,” November 2009.) defines a resolution mechanism to convert a secure flag, an host name or IP address, a eventually empty port, and an eventually empty transport to a list of IP address, port and TURN transport tuples.

To simplify the provisioning of TURN clients, this document defines a TURN and a TURNS URI scheme that can carry the four components needed for the resolution mechanism.

2.  Syntax of a TURN or TURNS URI

A TURN/TURNS URI has the following ABNF syntax [RFC5234] (Crocker, D. and P. Overell, “Augmented BNF for Syntax Specifications: ABNF,” January 2008.):

turnURI       = scheme ":" turn-host [ ":" turn-port ]
              [ "?transport=" transport ]
scheme        = "turn" / "turns"
transport     = "udp" / "tcp" / transport-ext
transport-ext = 1*unreserved
turn-host     = IP-literal / IPv4address / reg-name
turn-port     = *DIGIT
IP-literal    = "[" ( IPv6address / IPvFuture  ) "]"
IPvFuture     = "v" 1*HEXDIG "." 1*( unreserved / sub-delims / ":" )
IPv6address   =                            6( h16 ":" ) ls32
              /                       "::" 5( h16 ":" ) ls32
              / [               h16 ] "::" 4( h16 ":" ) ls32
              / [ *1( h16 ":" ) h16 ] "::" 3( h16 ":" ) ls32
              / [ *2( h16 ":" ) h16 ] "::" 2( h16 ":" ) ls32
              / [ *3( h16 ":" ) h16 ] "::"    h16 ":"   ls32
              / [ *4( h16 ":" ) h16 ] "::"              ls32
              / [ *5( h16 ":" ) h16 ] "::"              h16
              / [ *6( h16 ":" ) h16 ] "::"
h16           = 1*4HEXDIG
ls32          = ( h16 ":" h16 ) / IPv4address
IPv4address   = dec-octet "." dec-octet "." dec-octet "." dec-octet
dec-octet     = DIGIT                 ; 0-9
              / %x31-39 DIGIT         ; 10-99
              / "1" 2DIGIT            ; 100-199
              / "2" %x30-34 DIGIT     ; 200-249
              / "25" %x30-35          ; 250-255
reg-name      = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims )

<unreserved>, <sub-delims> and <pct-encoded> are specified in [RFC3986] (Berners-Lee, T., Fielding, R., and L. Masinter, “Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax,” January 2005.).

<secure> is equal to false is <scheme> is equal to "turn" and equal to false if <scheme> is equal to "turns".



 TOC 

3.  Security Considerations

Security considerations for the resolution mechanism are discussed in [I‑D.ietf‑behave‑turn‑uri] (Petit-Huguenin, M., “Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN) Resolution Mechanism,” November 2009.).

The "turn" and "turns" URI schemes do not introduce any specific security issues beyond the security considerations discussed in [RFC3986] (Berners-Lee, T., Fielding, R., and L. Masinter, “Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax,” January 2005.).



 TOC 

4.  IANA Considerations

This section contains the registration information for the "turn" and "turns" URI Schemes (in accordance with [RFC4395] (Hansen, T., Hardie, T., and L. Masinter, “Guidelines and Registration Procedures for New URI Schemes,” February 2006.)).



 TOC 

4.1.  TURN URI Registration

URI scheme name: turn

Status: permanent

URI scheme syntax: See Section 2 (Syntax of a TURN or TURNS URI).

URI scheme semantics: See [I‑D.ietf‑behave‑turn‑uri] (Petit-Huguenin, M., “Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN) Resolution Mechanism,” November 2009.).

Encoding considerations: There are no encoding considerations beyond those in [RFC3986] (Berners-Lee, T., Fielding, R., and L. Masinter, “Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax,” January 2005.).

Applications/protocols that use this URI scheme name:

The "turn" URI scheme is intended to be used by applications that might need access to a TURN server.

Interoperability considerations: N/A

Security considerations: See Section 3 (Security Considerations).

The <turn-port> and <turn-host> ABNF productions have been copied from the <port> and <host> ABNF productions from [RFC3986] (Berners-Lee, T., Fielding, R., and L. Masinter, “Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax,” January 2005.).

This document was written with the xml2rfc tool described in [RFC2629] (Rose, M., “Writing I-Ds and RFCs using XML,” June 1999.).
