Good questions. I helped write the spec for a technology called Passel that attempted to solve some problems in this space, and the whitepaper may be of interest to those on this list: http://passel.org/whitepaper.html
Something like that provides good input. However... I think the real issue is getting participants on the list to share a basic model. External papers won't do that. The summary list that prompted my own questions was specifically useful for making explicit, brief statements to the group, for the group to consider. My feeling is that we need to do same, simple, explicit thing for answering the questions I asked. Until we have that, and until we have converged on agreement about the answers, we are likely -- actually I consider it a certainty -- to have folks wandering about the mailing list with wildly different assumptions and expectations about the work and the desired output. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking <http://bbiw.net> _______________________________________________ dix mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dix
