DCCP-UDP: A Datagram Congestion Control Protocol UDP Encapsulation for NAT Traversal
RFC 6773, “DCCP-UDP: A Datagram Congestion Control Protocol UDP Encapsulation for NAT Traversal”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2012 by T. Phelan, G. Fairhurst, C. Perkins. It updates RFC 4340, RFC 5762. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies an alternative encapsulation of the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP), referred to as DCCP-UDP. This encapsulation allows DCCP to be carried through the current generation of Network Address Translation (NAT) middleboxes without modification of those middleboxes. This document also updates the Session Description Protocol (SDP) information for DCCP defined in RFC 5762. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
