Port Control Protocol Proxy Function
RFC 7648, “Port Control Protocol Proxy Function”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2015 by S. Perreault, M. Boucadair, R. Penno, D. Wing, S. Cheshire. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a new Port Control Protocol (PCP) functional element: the PCP proxy. The PCP proxy relays PCP requests received from PCP clients to upstream PCP server(s). A typical deployment usage of this function is to help establish successful PCP communications for PCP clients that cannot be configured with the address of a PCP server located more than one hop away.
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.
