This may be an opportune moment to note that I too will be attending 
IETF, thanks to the tireless efforts and sponsorship of Dave Taht. I'm 
the main author and developer of dnsmasq, which is the open-source  DNS 
forwarder and DHCP server component used in many home routers.


Recent releases of dnsmasq have added DHCPv6 support, and future 
releases are slated to add DNSSEC validation. I'm keen to talk to anyone 
who has ideas and requests for further work on dnsmasq which will 
advance the homenet cause, and to anyone who can help provide resources 
to support that work.


Cheers,

Simon.

[homenet] Interop for OSPF-based homenet solution at IETF 85

[Mark Townsley]

Group,

When we created the homenet WG, we identified that open source code was a 
critical component in the consumer home router marketplace. As such, I thought 
I'd let the group know that there will be open source coders in our midst next 
week carrying around some OpenWRT routers and implementations of 
homenet-targeted drafts. Their work is based on the work Jari has been leading. 
Jari is one of the coders, the other is Markus Stenberg, whose company is being 
supported via a Cisco "Technology Fund" project that I was a co-sponsor of 
within Cisco. Two compilier-wielding Finns.  

The implementations are based on these drafts:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-arkko-homenet-prefix-assignment-02
http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-acee-ospf-ospfv3-autoconfig-03.txt

The IPSO folks have been nice enough to offer them a corner of a table to work 
on, and I suspect that's where you will be able to find them during the week 
when they are not doing other things. They have also been generously offered a 
corner of a table at bits-n-bites in case you miss them during the week and 
want to look at what they have over food and beer. 

I've been cc'd on some of the emails between Jari and Markus, and believe they 
will have a presentation ready showing what they hope to have working, not 
working, etc. by the time we meet next week if not before. My understanding is 
that Jari and Markus both consider their work "Experimental" at this stage, and 
the aim is simply to learn as much as possible this week. Assuming they get 
things up and running, please come by with every kind of IPv6-enabled device 
you can think of to plug into their network. Try your best to break it, and 
capture what happened when the breakage occurred. If you're really bored, hack 
up your own implementation and plug in ;-)

Organization of this has all been very last minute and informal thus far. For 
future IETFs, the ADs have offered to work with homenet to have our own space 
rather than having to camp out with others. So - if you have some running code, 
let us know and we'll make sure we have some place for you to work together. 

See "y'all" in Georgia next week,

- Mark
