RE: Deployment Cases

["Hallam-Baker, Phillip" <pbaker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Necessity may be the mother of invention. But in order to invent we must know to distinguish what is necessary from cool capabilities offered to us by the technology.

 

Twitter is really, really cool. It also has the utility of a square tomato: A solution to a problem few people know about and even fewer care about.

Personally, I don’t believe in any “authority” telling me what’s needed, what would be the future and what to do next. Necessity is the mother of all invention. The market today needs to have the standard protocols in a number of areas. IETF seems to be the right place to get job done. ;-)

Isn't it the role of the IRTF/IAB/? to look at which areas should the IETF put more effort into?

Is there some kind of vision, road map, looking forward?

A wish list, which would stay as a wish list pending people willingness to work on the items.

I think there is a need to analyse orientations, like bringing an outsider to speak to IETF to raise new issues, like at last IETF with power and computing and the fact that wakeonlan does not work and would be real useful: how much intelligence to put in the card to wake up the PC only when needed and not every time someone send a packet to the card.

Cheers

 From outside IETF:

XMPP

iSCSI

 > MPLS

Dave,

MPLS is an IP technology that has been largely driven inside IETF. Millions

of users have benefited from the backbones running with MPLS protocols. It's

about 10-year old. MPLS has refined, modified and reused many other IETF

protocols, RSVP, OSPF, ISIS and BGP etc.

Also for the role of IETF, I think it should take a more active role in

creating standard protocols for the industry. One example comes to mind is

in the area of streaming video - way too many proprietary protocols today.

Another place that needs some serious help is P2P. The lack of standard in

those areas has negative impact to their growth.

Regards,

- Ping
