>Description of Working Group:
>
>The Diameter Maintanence and Extentions WG will focus on maintenance and
>extensions to the Diameter protocol required to enable its use in
>applications such as IP telephony and Local Area Network authentication,
>authorization and accounting.
>
>The IETF has recently completed work on the Diameter Base protocol.
>There is on-going work on defining RADIUS extensions. The work done in
>the DiME WG will ensure that work done in RADext is also available for
>Diameter.
>
>The immediate goals of the DiME working group are to address the
>following issues:
>
>- Maintaining and/or progressing, along the standards track, the
>Diameter procotol and Diameter Applications. Every revised document to
>be "maintained" requires explicit approval before it will be accepted as
>a WG document.
>
>- An informational RFC on a Diameter API.
>
>- Diameter Application design guidelines. This document will provide
>guidelines for design of new Diameter Applications. It will detail when
>to consider reusing an existing application and when to develop a new
>application. Interaction between vendor & SDO specific extensions and
>applications will be covered.
>
>- Diameter QoS application. This document will develop a new Diameter
>application for supporting QoS in AAA deployments. The NSIS WG will be
>consulted on proper design of QoS attributes.
>
>- Diameter URI. RFC 3588 defines an AAA URI which has some know
>problems. A document revising the AAA URI as a specific Diameter URI
>will be developed.
>
>- Diameter extentions for MIPv6. This may include support for Mobile IP
>extensions, like FMIP; as well as support for MIP bootstrapping.
>
>Additionally, AAA systems require interoperability in order to work.
>Uncontrolled extensibility is not a mechanism for interoperability.
>Therefore, the working group, along with the AD, will need to evaluate
>any potential extensions and require verification that the proposed
>extension is needed. Coordination with other IETF working groups and
>other SDOs will used to ensure this.
