BMWG,

As we consider this draft, I have the following administrative questions to
discuss.

bmwg co-chair

Benchmarking Methodology Working Group                      B. Balarajah
Internet-Draft                                           C. Rossenhoevel
Intended status: Informational                                  EANTC AG

Admin questions: 
Will this draft Update or Replace or make Obsolete RFC3511?

[bpm] We view this as somewhat separate from RFC3511. Most of RFC3511 is
still valid when it comes to basic network firewalls. This proposed draft is
meant to go well beyond that by addressing the needs to NGFWs. Since basic
firewalling technologies are still in active use RFC3511 is still valid.

The WG should be clear about this aspect, it can't be omitted IMO.
(question, is any part of 3511 referenced here?) Will this work benefit from
Early SEC-DIR review?
WIll this work benefit from early APPS-DIR review? (especially HTTPS/browser
aspects) Will this work benefit from TSV-AREA review? (TCP aspects, other
transport...)

[bpm] May people were involved in the development of this proposal, with a
very wide scope of knowledge and expertise. Folks form security product
vendors, test labs and test tool vendors. I don't think having other areas
review this wold be of benefit if it is going to lengthen the review
process.
