[ippm] traceroute as WG work item?

Dear all,

Unfortunately, there was no discussion on traceroute storage during
our last meeting. Therefore I bring this issue to the mailing list.

There is an I-D describing an information model for traceroute records:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-niccolini-ippm-storetraceroutes-00.txt

This work was initiated by the development of a database for traffic
measurement tools and traces, see  http://www.ist-mome.org/database/

Currently, there is no standard way of exchanging traceroute
measurements except for the DISMAN-TRACEROUTE-MIB module (RFC2925).
But this can only be used for transferring measurement data from an
SNMP agent to its manager(s).  It is not useful for exchange between
traffic measurement tools.

A standardized record format for traceroute measurements would be
very useful for building tools, databases and other applications
that handle traceroute measurements and need to exchange them.

Therefore I propose that this becomes an IPPM WG work item.
Any comment, pro or con, is very welcome.

Thanks,

    Juergen
