Reflections on Internet Transparency
RFC 4924, “Reflections on Internet Transparency”, is an Informational document published in July 2007 by B. Aboba, E. Davies. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document provides a review of previous IAB statements on Internet transparency, as well a discussion of new transparency issues. Far from having lessened in relevance, technical implications of intentionally or inadvertently impeding network transparency play a critical role in the Internet's ability to support innovation and global communication. This document provides some specific illustrations of those potential impacts. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
