Dear Colleagues, [Sorry for the wide distribution- on the other hand, please forward to other interested parties ;-)]
Thanks to the 30 or so people who attended the side meeting on IoT onboarding. We had a pretty good discussion around the fact that there is some fragmentation in the space that is confusing IoT developers. Some of this is due to the varying nature of devices and the varying nature of deployments. We focused a bit on 802.11, but not exclusively. We also discussed the relationship between "network onboarding" and "application onboarding". From our discussions we agreed that it would be good to catalog all the various mechanisms that are available today, to attempt to identify common architectural components, and to sort out the technical requirements that these solutions need to address. The intent was not to limit this to either the IETF or IP (at least for now) but to capture the whole field. Also, non-standard mechanisms are welcome as well. Later perhaps we can come up with at least a document to navigate when a particular mechanism might be appropriate. To this end, Suresh has been kind enough to create a mailing list – [email protected] – for this purpose. You can join the mailing list by going to https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/iot-onboarding. In addition, I've created a github project that literally just catalogs the stuff in the README. ALL contributions are welcome. Examples of mechanisms that we would like to document are DPP, ANIMA/BRSKI (in all of its varieties), how BT and Zigbee function in this regard, OCF, etc. The repository location can be found at https://github.com/iot-onboarding/catalog. We also agreed to checkpoint in December, before everyone disappears for the holidays. More information on this will be forthcoming. To those who attended, did I miss anything? Eliot
