[ghpn-wg] About goal of the GHPN-RG

[Michael Welzl]

Hi,

I also don't know why this group is so silent; I can only
speak for myself: I'm too busy with too many things at the
same time to discuss a lot here right now    :(      but I
expect to be more active in a few months.

Regarding your question about Grid applications that require
advanced networking features - I think that this is the
wrong question to ask.

No multimedia application *requires* RTP, RTCP, SIP or
DCCP (i.e. couldn't work without it).

Does this make these protocols useless? No: they enhance
the situation, but you couldn't say that they are "required".

Same for Grids. Grid applications are typically written
to work in the environment they are run - but that doesn't
mean that it would be useless to enhance the network for them.

Cheers,
Michael
