You asked me for a concrete proposal. I responded with one using BEEP as an example. BEEP / SSH are bits on a wire. Either can be used, but as I've written previously the horse I have in the game is whether CH is supported and whether trap-based polling will properly function through firewalls (something very much in doubt at this point), and not whether we're talking about BEEP or SSH.
Let me be clear about what you mean here. You mean that getting through firewalls and NATs is equally possible with SSH or BEEP (or TLS or HTTP for that matter)? I'd also observe in terms of charter language that the ability to have agents and managers indifferently either side of NATs and firewalls, and the ability to support traps in such scenarios, are potential charter requirements. But "call home" is a solution, and there might be others. Brian _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
