Interactive Connectivity Establishment : A Protocol for Network Address Translator Traversal
RFC 8445, “Interactive Connectivity Establishment : A Protocol for Network Address Translator Traversal”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2018 by A. Keranen, C. Holmberg, J. Rosenberg. It obsoletes RFC 5245. It has since been updated by RFC 8863. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a protocol for Network Address Translator (NAT) traversal for UDP-based communication. This protocol is called Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE). ICE makes use of the Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) protocol and its extension, Traversal Using Relay NAT (TURN).
This document obsoletes RFC 5245.
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.
