MIB for the UDP-Lite protocol

Overview

RFC 5097, “MIB for the UDP-Lite protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2008 by G. Renker, G. Fairhurst. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document specifies a Management Information Base (MIB) module for the Lightweight User Datagram Protocol (UDP-Lite). It defines a set of new MIB objects to characterise the behaviour and performance of transport layer endpoints deploying UDP-Lite. UDP-Lite resembles UDP, but differs from the semantics of UDP by the addition of a single option. This adds the capability for variable-length data checksum coverage, which can benefit a class of applications that prefer delivery of (partially) corrupted datagram payload data in preference to discarding the datagram. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

What “Proposed Standard” means
