- IETF'38: PacketWay- WG Minutes
- ------------------------------
- (Reported by Danny Cohen)
-
- The PacketWay working group met at IETF'38 in Memphis on Wednesday,
- April 9. There were 20 attenders [see attached list].
-
- Danny Cohen opened the meeting with a PacketWay overview and the meeting
- agenda.
-
- The status of specification was discussed. It is still an
- Internet-Draft, soon to become a Proposed-Standard. It was agreed that
- the specification would benefit from a better introduction and an
- attached tutorial explaining the purpose of PktWay, the approach taken,
- the rationale behind it, and the like - items that do not belong to the
- specifications but would help outsiders follow our work. Robert George
- will work with Danny on that tutorial
-
- Danny reported that he did not invite the VMI people (Lockheed-Martin,
- Advanced Technology Labs) to present their work, even though it relates
- to PktWay, because it recommends using a protocol which is not open
- (being defined in a document to which the access is controlled).
-
- Robert George (of Mississippi State University, MSU) gave a presentation
- of the work MSU has been doing on the implementation of PacketWay.
-
- Nathan Doss (of Lockheed-Martin-Sanders)presented the work LM has been
- doing on the implementation of PacketWay.
-
- It is expected that within 2 months interoperability tests between MSU
- and LM will start.
-
- Jeff Smith (also of Lockheed-Martin-Sanders) presented his work toward
- modeling the RRP.
