A Routing Request Extension for the HTTP-Enabled Location Delivery Protocol
RFC 7840, “A Routing Request Extension for the HTTP-Enabled Location Delivery Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2016 by J. Winterbottom, H. Tschofenig, L. Liess. It updates RFC 5985, RFC 6881. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
For cases where location servers have access to emergency routing information, they are able to return routing information with the location information if the location request includes a request for the desired routing information. This document specifies an extension to the HTTP-Enabled Location Delivery (HELD) protocol that updates RFC 5985 to support this function. Allowing location and routing information to be acquired in a single request response exchange updates RFC 6881, as current location acquisition and route determination procedures are separate operations.
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.
