Domain Name Server Operations BOF (dnsop) Thursday, March 18 at 0900-1130 =============================== Chair: Lars-Johan Liman <liman@sunet.se> DESCRIPTION: There is lots of collective wisdom and experience about administration of domain name servers, but there is also great need for documentation of that wisdom, to build up a knowledge bank that the increasing number of less experienced DNS-administrators can learn from. This BOF aims to identify various topics in DNS operations that can be documented, and to discuss whether the IETF is the right forum to do so. AGENDA: o Welcome and agenda bashing. o Revise root server requirement specification. Update RFC 2010. o Write BCP for operation of large name servers, i.e., servers with enormous zones (e.g. TLD servers) or extremely many zones (large ISPs). o Make upcoming RIPE document "Simple DNS Configuration Example" Internet-draft and head for BCP publication. o Document experiences of DNSSEC deployment and operations. o Geographic distribution of servers for "high level services" (TLDs and the like). - Topology vs. geography. - Exchanges and major ISPs vs. prominent sites. - Physical and operational security needs. o Performance issues - Zone transfer performance, or lack thereof. - Investigate relation between network quality and DNS performance - Experiences with IXFR, compressed XFR? o Y2K o IPv6 - IPv6 information in DNS. - DNS transportation over IPv6. o Zone file distribution between servers, ftp, AXFR, ... o Future work - Go for WG? - Other discussion fora? o AOB Not all of the above lead to RFC documents in natural ways, but I think there is need for a place to discuss this, and even if the outcome of the BOF is to understand which items could be pushed to RFCs in a reasonable way, and possibly to identify the "right forum" for discussions of other topics, I see that as Good Things(TM). =================================================================== IP Security Remote Access BOF (ipsra) Monday, March 15 at 0930-1130 ============================= Chair: Roy Pereira <rpereira@timestep.com> DESCRIPTION: The rapid growth of remote access and the subsequent transition from older direct-dial methods to Internet-based remote access is making an impact secure communications. IP Security (IPSec), as it is today defined, is missing key functionality needed to effectively support Internet-based remote access as well as being difficult to deploy to remote users. IPSec is quite functional and provides for a very robust base of security specifications, thus any new functionality would have to be added to the existing specifications as add-ons and not disrupt existing implementations. To address these problems the IPSRA Working Group will: 1) specify an extensible mechanism for bootstrapping remote IPSec users 2) specify an extensible mechanism to extend IPSec to support legacy user authentication methods such as RADIUS The proposed work item for this group would yield standards that are compatible with the existing IPSec architecture [RFC 2401] and IKE, complementing the standards work achieved by the IPSec Working Group. This work will be derived from, but not limited to, all or some of the following documents: draft-ietf-ipsec-iskamp-xauth draft-ietf-ipsec-isakmp-mode-cfg draft-ietf-ipsec-isakmp-hybrid-auth draft-ietf-ipsec-dhcp AGENDA: - - Agenda bashing - - Series of presentations of related work - - Open discussion and consensus gathering: do we need to form a WG to do the proposed work? - - Collect feedback and modify charter - - adjourn ------- End of Forwarded Message
