The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Location-to-Service Translation (LoST) Protocol Extensions' <draft-forte-lost-extensions-06.txt> as an Experimental RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-07-21. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract An important class of location-based services answer the question "What instances of this service are closest to me?" Examples include finding restaurants, gas stations, stores, automated teller machines, wireless access points (hot spots) or parking spaces. Currently, the Location-to-Service Translation (LoST) protocol only supports mapping locations to a single service based on service regions. This document describes an extension that allows queries of the type "N nearest", "within distance X" and "served by". The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-forte-lost-extensions/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-forte-lost-extensions/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
