Not a bad idea but I am a bit reluctant to expand milestones at the moment. Deployment scenarios that are doable using existing technologies deployment scenarios could be documented as part of the best current practices. Obvious deployment scenarios that are seen essential but not doable using existing machinery could go into the gap analysis. > Let me be a bit more specific.

Distributing mobility and more aggressive use of CoAs does not necessarily imply new peering points. Just being able to avoid few central aggregating gateways (i.e. those nodes that do far more than just packet forwarding) or make use of possible local resources (e.g. some local content caches) could be of significant help already. > So what do you think? Is there a need for this kind of document? We could consider that when we actually know more of our current state of the art and possible new enhancements. That would be around rechartering..? Before that I encourage to contribute relevant deployment scenarios to the best current practices and gap analysis documents. - Jouni > > Best Regards > Conny > > > On 2011-12-14 09:54, jouni korhonen wrote: >> Folks, >> >> We have been working on a charter text from DMM based on the initial goal >> setting and the input we received during the Taipei meeting.
