- Minutes of the SNA Peer-to-Peer Networking BOF (SNAPPER)
-
- The SNAPPER BOF was held on April 1st in Columbus (Ohio) during the 26th
- IETF meeting and was chaired by Wayne Clark.
-
- Agenda
-
-
- o Introduction
- o Presentations:
- - Connection Networks
- - Data Link Switching
- - APPN TCP/IP
- - APPN, DLS and Connection Networks
- - APPI
- o Discussion
-
-
- Wayne Clark made all technical presentations and led the discussion.
-
- The suggestion was made that it could be important and interesting to
- work on the standard way of transporting APPN over IP. One of the
- propositions was the DLS specification which could become the object of
- future IETF work.
-
- The issue of coordination of efforts to merge APPN and APPI technologies
- was raised. It was clear from statements of interested parties that
- this effort involves not only technical issues but also political ones,
- and the IETF would not be able to solve those complicated problems.
-
- A second proposal was that all interested people could work on the
- standardization of the Data Link Switching which presents more promising
- and realistic targets. The APPN versus APPI issues should not be
- directly addressed by this work but both involved parties should be
- present and contribute to the work. The consensus was that this
- proposition could be used to form the Working Group.
-
- Wayne will submit a draft Working Group Charter to the SNAPPER mailing
- list for discussion.
