[fi-rg] Work in progress document "Firewall issues overview", call for feedback

[Inder Monga]

Thanks Ralph!

The authors are currently meeting via con call every week on Monday 10 AM EST/16:00 CET. If anyone is interested in attending those calls and contributing please feel free to drop me a note and I will send you the bridge information. I encourage you to read the document and comment since I feel the authors (and the editor!) have done a great job pulling the document together. The ongoing classification work will drive the next document on potential solutions and gap analysis that we hope to kick-start in Athens GGF.

You can get the minutes from the last two meetings at gridforge (https://forge.gridforum.org/docman2/ViewCategory.php?group_id=157&category_id=1212)

Thanks and look forward to your contributions,

Subject: [fi-rg] Work in progress document "Firewall issues overview", call for feedback


dear all,

let me introduce myself first.

My name is Ralph Niederberger from Research Center Jülich, Germany. I am one of the project members of FI-RG.

We are just preparing a document: "Firewall issues overview", which is appended to this mail. As the editor of this document I would like to invite you in the name of all the authors to provide additional input to the document and to give comments on the current draft  version.

We would like to present the current version at the GGF 16 conference to the audience at the FI-RG Group Session.

We know the document isn't completed yet, but we are prepared to work on your feedback.

Once more please have a look into the document and comment on it.

In the next days we will send a questionaire onto the mailing list 
concerning
additional use cases. This questionare will help us to classify the 
different
use cases and to structure them into different classes. After evaluation of these "tables" we think that we have enough information to work on the last chapters of our document.

So feel free to provide additional use cases and please comment on the classification also.

Though we have already started with some solutions e.g. in chapter 6 we 
think that
these should go into a second document, having the first one showing the use cases and classification of these and the second one giving advice how to solve these issues inluding providing new ideas for solutions.

best regards

Ralph Niederberger
