[Dime] Discussion on draft-ietf-dime-load-02

["Gunn, Janet P" <[e-mail]>]

I do not think I am going to be able to remotely participate in Friday's DIME meeting, but I do want to make a high level  comment on the discussion about draft-ietf-dime-load-02.

A lot of the current discussion seems to be focusing on the best load balancing ALGORITHM, and the right way to calculate the load VALUE.

I think that this ID needs to focus on the means for SHARING load information, without pre-supposing the way in which the "load value" will be used, or how I is caclulated

I suspect that most of the environments in which load balancing will be deployed will be "walled gardens", so there is not an overwhelming need for  nodes in different environments to use the load value in the same way, or even use the same load balancing approach.

I look forward to reading the minutes, and further discussion on line.
