Hi all, Chris has uploaded a draft version of my presentation on syslog-protocol.
http://www.employees.org/~lonvick/attachments/syslog-protocol.sxi http://www.employees.org/~lonvick/attachments/syslog-protocol.pdf I first thought it needed more polishing before posting, but after some more thinking I came to the conclusion that this polishing can only be done after some issues have been discussed. So there it is. The goal of the presentation is to show - the rationale behind creating syslog-protocol, - how it fits into the syslog family, - which open questions are there as of now The target audience of this presentation is not strictly the WG, only. I think once things are fully discussed, this (or additional) presentation can also be used to educate implementors on what we actually want to achive. From what I have seen in the past, finding acceptance for a supposed standard is at least as important as doing it (technically) right. What does it help if nobody implements it...? So I think it is a good idea to develop such material in parallel to the actual RFC. The plus is that at least I find such a presentation an easy entry point into what the RFC tries to say. I will post separate mails to some of the issues raised in the presentation. You do NOT necessarily need to read the presentation in order to understand my upcoming questions. I just think it will help general understanding. Cheers, Rainer
