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
