[Nsi-wg] notes from call 9/30

[John Vollbrecht]

Discussion today

1) Inder had suggestions for the document - he agreed to accept all  
changes to v3, then edit it and make it v4.  He will send to the list  
by Friday.  Tomohiro will divide by sections and put on google docs so  
sections can be edited individually by multiple people

2) Tomohiro agreed to contact Joan about interaction betweeen agents.   
He will work with Joan next week to try to get a strawman for section  
6 and to have slides for OGF about it

3) We talked about how to discuss protocol implementation from this  
architecture.  The question in my mind was how strong to be about the  
possibilty of implementing the architecture with RSVP in addition to  
WS.  We agreed to talk about this more at OGF.

4. We discussed where description of related standards belongs.   
Tomohiro suggested moving section 2.2 (stds description) to end of  
sect. 4.  Inder thought it would be good to have it near the front.   
Something more to talk about at OGF

5. We discussed the list of terms in section 4.  There was some  
confusion about names, particularly (I think) between a network  
resource and a network, and between a network resource and a transport  
resource.  I agreed to create a set of slides with names, concepts and  
real world examples.  Probably the real world examples are not  
appropriate for std but will be helpful in understanding the concepts.

6. Tomohiro will contact Sebastian about section 7.?   --  also to see  
if he can create diagrams that don't take as much storage space - the  
doc is huge, I think a lot of that is these diagrams.

7. We discussed having a section on starting a protocol recommendation  
at Banff.  Inder, Tomohiro and Guy will discuss offline.  I have some  
thoughts about how the IDC protocol Internet2 and ESNet and others use  
needs to be tweaked to be able to support the architecture we are  
describing.

8. We will have a call next Wed at the regular time for anyone who can  
attend.

Any comments/ corrections/ additions?
