The current version describes the overall picture plus a weak idea of framing and transmission (sections 4, 5, and 6). This idea was taken from the current discussion on -transport-tls. However, I consider it to be very insufficient and have made no attempt to specify it in depth. If we adopt this document, I would further investigate how a proper framing would look like. I have on my mind to borrough some ideas from netconf, but use them in the simple spirit of syslog (e.g. we might use the same opening with a syslog-reserved URI, if the netconf-WG does not object against this, but it is too early to discuss such issues). I would also volunteer to update 3195 to 3195bis, if their original authors are not available for that. I expect to need some help on the XML schema when doing so. As I have already written, I expect this to be an extremely easy and quick task. My summary in the other mail was concluding. There is no need for any additional edits. > 4) please indicate which secure transport you would commit to > implement in your products (and do you have the decision-making > authority to commit what gets implemented in shipping products?). With a very high probability, we would implement -transport-ssh and with a somewhat lower probability we would change our rfc 3195 implementation to support 3195bis. I would expect this to happen in our products as well as in liblogging/rsyslog (open source projects). I have sufficent decision-making authority to make this commitment (not thinking about major market or overall company policy changes). I would deeply appreciate feedback if I should submit the -transport-ssh draft as a WG document.
