		<section title="Introduction">
			
			<t>This document specifies the syntax and semantics of the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) scheme for the Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) protocol.</t>
			
			<t>STUN is a protocol that serves as a tool for other protocols in dealing with Network Address Translator (NAT) traversal. It can be used by an endpoint to determine the IP address and port allocated to it by a NAT, to perform connectivity checks between two endpoints, and used as a keepalive protocol to maintain NAT bindings. RFC 5389 <xref target="RFC5389"></xref> defines the specifics of the STUN protocol.</t>

			<t>The "stun" and "stuns" URI schemes are used to designate a standalone STUN server or any Internet host performing the operations of a STUN server in the context of STUN usages (Section 14 RFC 5389 <xref target="RFC5389"></xref>). With the advent of standards such as WEBRTC <xref target="WEBRTC"></xref>, we anticipate a plethora of endpoints and web applications to be able to identify and communicate with such a STUN server to carry out the STUN protocol. This also implies those endpoints and/or applications to be provisioned with appropriate configuration required to identify the STUN server. Having an inconsistent syntax has its drawbacks and can result in non-interoperable solutions. It can result in solutions that are ambiguous and have implementation limitations on the different aspects of the syntax and alike. The 'stun/stuns' URI scheme helps alleviate most of these issues by providing a consistent way to describe, configure and exchange the information identifying a STUN server. This would also prevent the shortcomings inherent with encoding similar information in non-uniform syntaxes such as the ones proposed in the WEBRTC Standards <xref target="WEBRTC"></xref>, for example.</t>

		<section title="Terminology">
			
			<t>The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in <xref target="RFC2119"/> when they appear in ALL CAPS.  When these words are not in ALL CAPS (such as "should" or "Should"), they have their usual english meanings, and are not to be interpreted as RFC 2119 key words.</t>

				<t>The STUN protocol supports sending messages over UDP, TCP or TLS-over-TCP. The "stuns" URI scheme MUST be used when STUN is run over TLS-over-TCP (or in the future DTLS-over-UDP) and the "stun" scheme MUST be used otherwise.</t>
			    
			    <t>The required <stun-host> part of the "stun" URI denotes the STUN server host.</t>
			                
			    <t>For the optional DNS Discovery procedure mentioned in the Section 9 of RFC5389, "stun" URI scheme implies UDP as the transport protocol for SRV lookup and "stuns" URI scheme indicates TCP as the transport protocol.</t>

				<t>The <stun-port> part, if present, denotes the port on which the STUN server is awaiting connection requests. If it is absent, the default port is 3478 for both UDP and TCP. The default port for STUN over TLS is 5349 as per Section 9 of RFC 5389 <xref target="RFC5389"></xref>.</t>

<t>
A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a compact sequence of characters
that identifies an abstract or physical resource.  This specification
defines the generic URI syntax and a process for resolving URI references
that might be in relative form, along with guidelines and security
considerations for the use of URIs on the Internet.
The URI syntax defines a grammar that is a superset of all valid URIs,
allowing an implementation to parse the common components of a URI
reference without knowing the scheme-specific requirements of every
possible identifier.  This specification does not define a generative
grammar for URIs; that task is performed by the individual
specifications of each URI scheme.

<t>Internet technical specifications often need to define a formal syntax.  Over the years, a modified version of Backus-Naur Form (BNF), called Augmented BNF (ABNF), has been popular among many Internet specifications.  The current specification documents ABNF.  It balances compactness and simplicity with reasonable representational power.  The differences between standard BNF and ABNF involve naming rules, repetition, alternatives, order-independence, and value ranges.  This specification also supplies additional rule definitions and encoding for a core lexical analyzer of the type common to several Internet specifications. [STANDARDS-TRACK]</t>

<t>Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) is a protocol that serves as a tool for other protocols in dealing with Network Address Translator (NAT) traversal. It can be used by an endpoint to determine the IP address and port allocated to it by a NAT. It can also be used to check connectivity between two endpoints, and as a keep-alive protocol to maintain NAT bindings. STUN works with many existing NATs, and does not require any special behavior from them.</t><t> STUN is not a NAT traversal solution by itself. Rather, it is a tool to be used in the context of a NAT traversal solution. This is an important change from the previous version of this specification (RFC 3489), which presented STUN as a complete solution.</t><t> This document obsoletes RFC 3489. [STANDARDS-TRACK]</t>

						<t>
							This document describes a simple process that allows authors of Internet-Drafts to record the status of known implementations by including an Implementation Status section.
							This will allow reviewers and working groups to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit of running code, by considering the running code as evidence of valuable experimentation and feedback that has made the implemented protocols more mature.
   						</t>

						<t>
							The process in this document is offered as an experiment.
							Authors of Internet-Drafts are encouraged to consider using the process for their documents, and working groups are invited to think about applying the process to all of their protocol specifications.
							The authors of this document intend to collate experiences with this experiment and to report them to the community.

			<t>
			<list style="symbols">
				
				<t>The ABNF duplicates some definitions from <xref target="RFC3986"/> instead of referencing them. This was done because the definitions in RFC 3986 are for hierarchical URIs, so using these references in an opaque URI proved confusing.</t>
			    
				<t>One recurring comment was to stop using the suffix "s" on URI scheme, and to move the secure option to a parameter (e.g., ";proto=tls").  We decided against this idea because the need for ";proto=" for the STUN URI cannot be sufficiently explained and supporting it would render an incomplete specification. This would also result in lost symmetry between the TURN and STUN URIs. A more detailed account of the reasoning behind this is available at <http://blog.marc.petit-huguenin.org/2012/09/on-design-of-stun-and-turn-uri-formats.html></t>
