We would like to announce the availability of a new Internet Draft
draft-duffield-framework-papame-00.txt
(http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-duffield-framework-papame-00.txt)
and a mailing list
listname : psamp(_at_)ops(_dot_)ietf(_dot_)org (packet sampling)
subscribe: psamp-request(_at_)ops(_dot_)ietf(_dot_)org
archive : <http://ops.ietf.org/lists/psamp/>
The purpose of the ID and the list is to spur discussion on
formulating requirements for and define the functionality of a passive
packet sampling device in network elements.
The goals underlying the proposed packet sampling framework are:
- generality: it should serve as the basis for a wide range of
operational tasks, and
- simplicity and efficiency: it relies on a small set of primitives that
facilitate uniform deployment in router interfaces or dedicated
measurement devices, even at very high speeds.
We invite discussion of the framework on the psamp mailing list.
We hope to hold a bof at the March 2002 IETF.
Thanks,
Randy Bush
