When operating with current and previous NTP and SNTP versions, SNTPv4 requires no changes to the specifications or known implementations, but rather clarifies certain design features that allow operation in a simple, stateless remote-procedure call (RPC) mode with accuracy and reliability expectations similar to the UDP/TIME protocol described in RFC 868.

RFC4324 - Calendar Access Protocol (CAP)
The Calendar Access Protocol (CAP) described in this memo permits a Calendar User (CU) to utilize a Calendar User Agent (CUA) to access an iCAL-based Calendar Store (CS). At the time of this writing, three vendors are implementing CAP, but it has already been determined that some changes are needed. In order to get implementation experience, the participants felt that a CAP specification is needed to preserve many years of work. Many properties in CAP which have had many years of debate, can be used by other iCalendar protocols. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
RFC4323 - Data Over Cable System Interface Specification Quality of Service Management Information Base (DOCSIS-QoS MIB)
This document defines a basic set of managed objects for SNMP-based management of extended QoS features of Cable Modems (CMs) and Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTSs) conforming to the Data over Cable System (DOCSIS) specifications versions 1.1 and 2.0. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC4322 - Opportunistic Encryption using the Internet Key Exchange (IKE)
This document describes opportunistic encryption (OE) as designed and implemented by the Linux FreeS/WAN project. OE uses the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and IPsec protocols. The objective is to allow encryption for secure communication without any pre-arrangement specific to the pair of systems involved. DNS is used to distribute the public keys of each system involved. This is resistant to passive attacks. The use of DNS Security (DNSSEC) secures this system against active attackers as well.
RFC4321 - Problems Identified Associated with the Session Initiation Protocol's (SIP) Non-INVITE Transaction
This document describes several problems that have been identified with the Session Initiation Protocol's (SIP) non-INVITE transaction. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
RFC4320 - Actions Addressing Identified Issues with the Session Initiation Protocol's (SIP) Non-INVITE Transaction
This document describes modifications to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to address problems that have been identified with the SIP non-INVITE transaction. These modifications reduce the probability of messages losing the race condition inherent in the non-INVITE transaction and reduce useless network traffic. They also improve the robustness of SIP networks when elements stop responding. These changes update behavior defined in RFC 3261. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC4319 - Definitions of Managed Objects for High Bit-Rate DSL - 2nd generation (HDSL2) and Single-Pair High-Speed Digital Subscriber Line (SHDSL) Lines
This document defines a Management Information Base (MIB) module for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes objects used for managing High Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) - 2nd generation (HDSL2) and Single-Pair High-Speed Digital Subscriber Line (SHDSL) interfaces. This document introduces extensions to several objects and textual conventions defined in HDSL2-SHDSL-Line MIB (RFC 3276). This document obsoletes RFC 3276. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC4318 - Definitions of Managed Objects for Bridges with Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
This memo defines an SMIv2 MIB module for managing the Rapid Spanning Tree capability defined by the IEEE P802.1t and P802.1w amendments to IEEE Std 802.1D-1998 for bridging between Local Area Network (LAN) segments. The objects in this MIB are defined to apply both to transparent bridging and to bridges connected by subnetworks other than LAN segments. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC4317 - Session Description Protocol (SDP) Offer/Answer Examples
This document gives examples of Session Description Protocol (SDP) offer/answer exchanges. Examples include codec negotiation and selection, hold and resume, and addition and deletion of media streams. The examples show multiple media types, bidirectional, unidirectional, inactive streams, and dynamic payload types. Common Third Party Call Control (3pcc) examples are also given. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
RFC4316 - Datatypes for Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) Properties
This specification extends the Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning Protocol (WebDAV) to support datatyping. Protocol elements are defined to let clients and servers specify the datatype, and to instruct the WebDAV method PROPFIND to return datatype information. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
RFC4315 - Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) - UIDPLUS extension
The UIDPLUS extension of the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) provides a set of features intended to reduce the amount of time and resources used by some client operations. The features in UIDPLUS are primarily intended for disconnected-use clients. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
RFC4314 - IMAP4 Access Control List (ACL) Extension
The Access Control List (ACL) extension (RFC 2086) of the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) permits mailbox access control lists to be retrieved and manipulated through the IMAP protocol.
RFC4313 - Requirements for Distributed Control of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Speaker Identification/Speaker Verification (SI/SV), and Text-to-Speech (TTS) Resources
This document outlines the needs and requirements for a protocol to control distributed speech processing of audio streams. By speech processing, this document specifically means automatic speech recognition (ASR), speaker recognition -- which includes both speaker identification (SI) and speaker verification (SV) -- and text-to-speech (TTS). Other IETF protocols, such as SIP and Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), address rendezvous and control for generalized media streams. However, speech processing presents additional requirements that none of the extant IETF protocols address. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
RFC4312 - The Camellia Cipher Algorithm and Its Use With IPsec
