ISO/IEC 16317:2011

ISO/IEC 16317:2011 specifies maintenance of network connectivity and presence by proxies to extend the sleep duration of hosts. ISO/IEC 16317:2011 specifies: capabilities that a proxy may expose to a host; information that must be exchanged between a host and a proxy; proxy behaviour for 802.3 (Ethernet) and 802.11 (WiFi); required and optional behaviour of a proxy while it is operating, including responding to packets, generating packets, ignoring packets, and waking the host. ISO/IEC 16317:2011 does not: specify communication mechanisms between hosts and proxies; extend or modify the referenced specifications (and for any discrepancies those specifications are authoritative); support security and communication protocols such as IPsec, MACSec, SSL, TLS, Mobile IP, etc.
