Re: [end points comm] OPES System

Hi,
rather than responding to individual emails, let me try to summarize
the thread (while catching-up with queued emails...).
Goal: Tracing must allow the endpoints to detect that some OPES
services were involved, and which party to contact in order to resolve
possible problems. This has resulted in different views:
(a) One view is that this requires each individual OPES processor to
support tracing. Policies can be used to authorize who can turn on
tracing and who can see the results.
(b) Another view is that this requires only one trace per "OPES
system", with an "OPES system" being the collection of entities that
are trusted by the respective endpoint. This assumes that certain
business arrangements/rules are in place, which will ensure that
problems can be traced across carrier domains.
(c) One view might be that this requires only tracing per "OPES
domain", with an "OPES domain" being the collection of entities
operated by a single carrier.
Both, (b) and (c), assume that the carriers somehow have enough
(internal) information to answer possible inquiries, e.g. they
themselves must figure out which exact OPES processors have been
involved when a specific user inquiry comes in.
For each of the views, it would be helpful to detail and to illustrate
the entire tracing process showing an example scenario, including how
a user would inquire about suspected problems and how this inquiry
would be resolved. [It might also be helpful to learn from existing
solutions to similar problems in other protocol areas, e.g. email etc.]
Since (b) seems to be the most "relaxed" view, let's start with this
approach, and then see whether/how it solves real-life problems,
whether the assumptions are valid, how it addresses the IAB
considerations, and how differences to IAB consideration will be
explained.
