I agree that specifying Call Home functionality in SNMP should be out of scope for ISMS, which is attempting to solve a different, well-defined problem. I also agree with Dave Harrington's suggestion that the SSH transport mechanism for ISMS should be designed such that the initiation and termination of SSH sessions, and the use of such sessions by the command generator and command responder, would not preclude another WG from specifying Call Home functionality using the ISMS work, unless that requirement overly complicated the ISMS design work. I would call this division of labor an appropriate "separation of concerns". _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
