[Dyncast] Updates on Dyncast drafts

[Dirk Trossen <[e-mail]>]

Dear All,

For the preparation to the planned side meeting at the upcoming IETF110 (more details on this will follow in a separate email), it is our intention to formulate use cases, problems and architectural requirements for addressing those problems in order to focus this side meeting on the following two main questions:
1. Are the use cases compelling and the problems worth to be discussed and possibly solved in the routing area?
2. What would be the best approach in doing so within the IETF, e.g., through a new WG focusing on dyncast or through contributions to existing, protocol-specific WGs, with problem and requirements kept as contributions to the RTG WG?

Depending on what the community thinks, we will go for a more formal meeting at IETF111.

As input material for our discussion, we have uploaded the following three Dyncast drafts to the datatracker, namely the Dyncast use case and problem statement at https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-liu-dyncast-ps-usecases-01.txt and the Dyncast requirements at https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-liu-dyncast-reqs-00.txt. We have also uploaded a draft outlining a possible Dyncast architecture at https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-li-dyncast-architecture-00.txt

Any comments or views on either of those two questions above are warmly welcome in preparation to the planned side meeting. We hope to see many of you there.

Best,


Dirk (on hehalf of the authors of the Dyncast drafts)
