We plan to discuss the general problem and a proposed
solution at the bar BOF. I've already prepared a feasibility
analysis for JaNet(UK)'s solution; the analysis does discuss
the problem some, gives an outline of the solution and
discusses technical issues and required standards work in
detail. By IETF we'll have a use case paper, an internet
draft on the solution,and a slide set.
I just want to add to Sam's announcement that we explicitly asked him to
focus on an independent criticism of our proposal that was intended for
consumption within JANET(UK), as a means of informing our internal
strategy, rather than exposition to an external audience. We also asked
him to write at whatever level of technical detail was necessary for him
to justify his conclusions.
Consequently, Sam's paper is an erudite and raw technical analysis that
assumes some background understanding of the proposal, as well as the
underlying technologies. Nonetheless, we felt that it would be useful to
circulate the paper as a first step towards socialising the proposal.
As Sam indicates, we are working on a more general document that will
serve to introduce the proposal and how we believe it addresses our
use-cases. In the meantime, please get in touch with us if you have any
questions or comments; or, better still, join the mailing list.
