Thanks Ken,
I think it is a good start, but is that's all the IETF is providing?
I was also thinking, that there is no protocol to choose the best web
site to surf. I think now, DNS provide some site with several IP in a
round robin fashion. However there is no define way to select the IP
that provide the best throughoutput or best reliability... It is good
for load blancing, but not for clients to find the best site. Does IPv6
solve this problem?
I think the IETF should take this individual contributions and move them
to working groups..
Cheers

hello,
a friend forwarded your email to me.
Can someone from the IETF lists all the work that are done or on
progress to improove the Internet when disasters strike (on an
engeenering point of view).
there is not much in the way of what you are asking. Internet
standards and drafts tend to focus on single problems, and
generally avoid solutions that would cross several working groups.
there is an *individual* draft submission by myself and a colleague
on International Emergency Preparedness Scheme (IEPS) at:
http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-carlberg-ieps-framework-01.txt
there is also another individual draft on 911:
http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs/sip/drafts/draft-schulzrinne-sip-911-01.txt
i need to stress that these are individuall contributions and not
approaches or standards of a working group
