This e-mail is to let everyone know what the status of the various proposals on the Internet area is.
You may have already seen that all BOF proposals and related documentation can be accessed via the BOF wiki page at: http://www1.tools.ietf.org/bof/trac/wiki/WikiStart On the Internet area we got three proposals: 1. DSMI (Dual-Stack Moving Internet) This was a proposal to extend NETLMM functionality to handle IPv4 and allow federated local mobility domains. No BOF will be run in IETF-67. However, I stated that once NETLMM WG has a stable base protocol we can talk about extensions. IPv4 is an obvious task, and would only need a minor charter change. Roaming/federation needs more discussion, but could possible be handled through another rechartering or BOF at IETF-68. 2. SAVA (Source Address Validation Architecture) This was a proposal to go beyond ingress filtering and RPF to achieve better validation of source addresses in the Internet. The goal was to address a number of different issues in this space, but the part that I personally found most interesting was source address validation at the destination network side. No BOF will be run in IETF-67, but as better mechanisms in this space would be useful, we hope to see further work. For instance, the set of new solutions that we know are being worked on is very interesting. With a tightly defined scope and a demonstrated set of solutions ready for engineering this could perhaps be a BOF in IETF-68. In the meantime we are thinking of either giving some time in the open area meeting or organizing a bar BOF in San Diego. 3. MPI (Mobile Platform Internet) This was a proposal to address the needs of the airline industry as they enhance existing entertainment/Internet access networks and move legacy service and control communications to run over IP networks. Specific needs in the area of routing to moving networks and network access control were listed. There is no BOF for this at IETF-67 either. Instead, the specific issues will be taken to the relevant working groups such as NEMO. In addition, work continues in the airline industry standardization bodies and further issues may come up and be taken to either existing WGs or addressed via future BOFs. As you can see, we hope that work progresses on all of these topics in various forms. Please contribute to the efforts. --Jari _______________________________________________ Int-area mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/int-area
