Hi, We worked, in our research group, on the definition and specification of the "services" since 1990. We specified the equipments level services (switching, CPU time, ...), the network level services (classification, resources reservation, ..), applicative level services (service elements, IN like services, NGOSS, ..) and recently the user level services (user demand grides, ..). We validated our reflexions and models through divers platforms with several indutrial companies. The results of our works is published in many conferences and journals. We would be pleased to contribute to the definition of the Internet services within the IETF. Regards, Tarek Nadour.

The problem is that although it's probably feasible to get a consensus on the definitions within the IETF, it's unclear how to phrase it so that the people who actually need the definitions can use them. "This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy" -- Douglas Adams |
