[Nut-upsuser] Documentation of the UPS Management Protocol
Dear NUT project, I am the Independent Submissions Editor (ISE) for the RFC Series. The RFC Series is commonly know as the publication venue for standards specifications coming from the IETF. The Independent Submissions Stream is a small set of RFCs that are published outside the IETF and without IETF review. Roger Price has approached me for publication of draft-rprice-ups-management-protocol [1] as an Informational RFC in the Independent Submissions Stream. The document describes "the command/response protocol currently used in the management of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units and other power devices often deployed in small offices, and in IT installations subject to an erratic public power supply." This work is obviously related to the work of the NUT project, and the document references NUT throughout with a special description of the project in Section 2.7. The purpose of this email is to encourage reviews of the document prior to publication. Note that the document attempts to describe the state of the art, not add features or functions. Reviews of the technical accuracy and the clarity of the document are particularly welcome, and should be sent to me at rfc-ise at rfc-editor.org (I shall not be monitoring this email list). Review comments arriving before 19th January would be most appreciated. Kind regards, Adrian [1] https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rprice-ups-management-protocol/ -- Adrian Farrel (ISE), rfc-ise at rfc-editor.org
