Dear All

We have discussed several times for IoT related issues and many of you have expressed the opinion that this topic is very interesting through HIP RG meetings and mailing list discussion.
However, we still have various opinions on scope for this topic which the HIP RG would deal with. In this regards, at the last Hiroshima meeting, the IRTF chair mentioned that to create a new research group on IoT would be one of possible solutions.

I am not aware of any progress in creating a new research group on IoT.  As for HIP and IoT, we heard a concern that HIP was being selected as a solution for IoT prematurely, without considering other alternatives such as XMPP.

 So, it is very important to determine a right place for discussion on IoT.
First of all, we need to decide whether the HIP RG will develop a document on conceptual requirements and architecture for IoT without limiting to HIP. I believe that HIP can be one of candidate solutions in terms of object naming.

I think it is within scope for the HIP RG to study whether HIP can be a solution to IoT networking problems, and to consider whether HIP needs to be extended or modified to support such solutions.  However, I think it is probably out of scope to write drafts about whether a HIP-based architecture is the best way to solve IoT networking problems in general.

Is there another document (such as from Study Group 13) that you could point us to that discusses "conceptual requirements and architecture for IoT without limiting to HIP"?
With specific technical solutions like HIP for RF-ID, we should analyze various cases with consideration of naming and addressing architecture which other groups are developing.

We presently have two drafts that try to cover general naming and architectural issues:  draft-urien-hip-iot-00.txt and draft-lee-object-naming-01.txt, and both you and Pascal have separately suggested to move them forward as a RG draft, so we probably have to review that again and consider how we might end up with a single draft.

As for HIP for RF-ID draft, I'm not sure what you mean by "we should analyze various cases with consideration of naming and addressing architecture which other groups are developing," can you be more specific about the other groups to which you are referring?

Regards,
Tom
