In general, the "@example.company.com" name space is a nice idea. However, I am concerned about the length that this introduces. I would much prefer to have a more compact encoding, resembling what parameters would look like in SDP more than what they would look like XML (in terms of compactness). This is one reason why I actually like the proposal to use the company identifier (typically 3 digits) as prefix (followed by some delimiter) as was suggested to denote a private name space.
Just my 2 cents. --- Alex -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Lonvick (clonvick) Sent: Monday, October 03, 2005 6:25 PM To: David B Harrington Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Syslog-sec] AD Review for draft-ietf-syslog-protocol-14 Hi David, On Fri, 30 Sep 2005, David B Harrington wrote: > Hi, > > Because I believe we should be working to integrate our network > management standards, at least to the point they can secure and > correlate data easily across NM interfaces, I would like to see the > approach adopted by syslog to be similar to the approaches used by > other IETF protocols, especially network management protocols.

It's been working well enough for the SSH community with the warning of, "It is up to each domain how it manages its local namespace." I will say that this practice in SSH is not as widespread as SNMP but it has been done and it seems to be working. It would be good to have discussion of this on the mailing list and we can hopefully finalize what we want in Vancouver. Your input would be appreciated.
