Have others read this draft yet? It is clearly aimed at addressing charter deliverable #1. Do other folks have an opinion on how well it helps the group achieve the goals in our charter? Should we use this document in some way? I'm looking for more input from the working group on how we should proceed.
My opinion: I am very mindful (& appreciative) of the significant effort by Mirja and Brian and the other contributors on draft-ietf-taps-transports. The discussion around this doc has been very useful for clarifying (to me) how difficult it can be to pull useful common abstractions out of the 30+ years of transport technologies. Having been down this path for over a year, I appreciate the fairly narrow approach draft-welzl-taps-transports and think it may be the best chance for TAPS to succeed.
