Hi, It appears that we have consensus to adopt a new piece of work specifically to document the transport mapping of syslog. This work needs to state that the REQUIRED mapping at this time is UDP for assured interoperability. It needs to stay short, and to the point so it can progress with syslog-protocol through the RFC process. It should leave the door wide open for other transports to be identified and it must clearly document the security considerations of the transports.
If there is consensus in the WG after this document and syslog-protocol ID are accepted as RFCs, then we may consider updating that RFC to include more mappings. The ID to which Marshall referred is Eric Rescorla's work on Datagram Security (like SSL for UDP): http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rescorla-dtls-00.txt We can reference that as a Work In Progress at this time and (if all proceeds smoothly) as an RFC upon the update. An now for the really important question: Who will volunteer to write that ID? Thanks, Chris
