last evening i was carrying a question from the noc team but my position
in the mic queue was preempted by more important people.
but essentially, before we make tactical decisions we would like to know
what the purpose and goal of the meeting network is.
o folk just want to get work done, and the net should bloody well work
o i want to forward test internet futures: ipv6, auth methods, crypto,
...
o i have my own stuff i want to test (which may need inbound sessions)
o network? what network?
in the nat64 case, are we trying to validate the well-known lists of
what does not work over nat64, spotify, many vpns, ...? if it is
because we think we can modify nat64 to ameliorate the problems, this
would be brilliant.
if we know what the goals are, we should be able to meet them. so far,
the assumption is that
o the primary goal of the meeting netowrk is for attendees to get work
done
o nats breaking applications and inbound connections would be
considered as breakage
o we do want to support occasional experiments, both non-disruptive
and visible (remember the v6-only plenary?)
o but basically, i just want my mtv
