Hi all. We have the idea of asking for a BoF in London in March 2014. For this aim, we should discuss a new version of the charter draft. I send it in the next e-mail.
This e-mail summarizes the improvements. I have put different numbers, in order to discuss them separately in the list. 1- In order to be consistent with the drafts, the charter should talk about "TCM-ingress and egress optimizers" instead of "TCM multiplexers and demultiplexers". 2- A new scenario has been included "a wireless Internet connection shared by a number of people in a place with low Internet penetration", taking into account that some people from Africa were interested on TCM for improving real-time applications in this kind of places. 3- Scenario: "a community network, in which a number of people in the same geographical place share their connections in a cooperative way". It has some similarities with the previous one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_network. 4- Scenario: "a satellite connection used for providing connectivity in a non-connected area during a short period of time (e.g. journalists covering the arrival of a mountain stage of a cycling competition)." 5- Scenario: " - an air-to-ground connection providing Internet connectivity to the passengers of an aircraft, multiplexing a number of simultaneous VoIP flows. The same can be applied between a cruise ship and a satellite." http://www.gogoair.com/gogo/cms/work.do 6- According to the feedback received in the BoF in Berlin, the references to TCP have been removed. 7- A reference to the potential problem of the MTU and packet loss has been added in number 8: "The eventual impact of multiplexing on protocol dynamics (e.g. the lost of a multiplexed packet, MTU-related issues) will also have to be addressed.." Any other suggestions, according to what we discussed in the BoF? http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/87/minutes/minutes-87-tcmtf Best regards, Jose Saldana
