Title : Transport for Advanced Networking Applications (TANA) Problem Statement
Author(s) : S. Shalunov
Filename : draft-shalunov-tana-problem-statement-00.txt
Pages : 10
Date : 2008-7-7
The IETF P2PI workshop conducted in the end of May 2008 at MIT in
Boston has identified a number of potential documents for the IETF to
work on.
One is a transport protocol with congestion control mechanism that
enables an advanced networking application to minimize the extra
delay it induces in the bottleneck while implementing an end-to-end
version of scavenger service. At least one such protocol has now
been implemented by a major peer-to-peer application and deployed in
the wild with favorable results.
Another is a document that addresses community concerns about the use
of multiple transport connections by peer-to-peer applications, both
when these connections run to the same peer and to different peers.
These two items appear to fall within the Transport area, but not
within the charter of any existing working group. It is not obvious
what WG's charter could be naturally extended to encompass these two
items. The TANA BoF is held to explore the problem space, gauge the
interest in the problems within the Transport area, and to see if the
community and the area directors believe that it makes sense to form
a TANA working group within the Transport area to chartered to work
on (1) standardizing end-to-end congestion control that enables
advanced application to minimize the delay they introduce into the
network and a protocol using it and (2) a document describing the
current practice of peer-to-peer apps' use of multiple transport
connections and recommendations in this space.
