[its] Narrowing the scope of the Internet-wide Geornetworking activities

Hi all,

Below you can find a proposal where I try to narrow signifficantly the scope of the Internet-wide Geonetworking activities:

The Internet-wide Geonetworking WG will focus on:

o) Extend DNS mechanisms and protocols to support mapping, in a bidirectional way, destination geographical areas into IP addresses (or URIs) of Access Routers and/or Gateways, which are able to broadcast or multicast packets to to the nodes located in these destination geographical areas.

o) Design a protocol that carries destination area information from a source node to the Access Routers and/or Gateways, which are able to broadcast or multicast packets from this source to the nodes located in these destination geographical areas.

Note that the way (mecahnisms or protocols) of how the Access Routers and/or the Gateways dsitribute the packets (broadcast or multicast) is out of the scope of this WG. This is because several existing mechanisms can be used for this purpose. E.g., MANET, ETSI ITS IPv6 geonetworking, etc.

Comments are welcome!

Best regards,
Georgios

Onderwerp: RE: [its] What happened at the BoF 'geonet'

Hi all,

Please note that we will need to organize a new BOF on Interent-wide Geonetworking.

Before this BOF will take place we will need to have:

(1) a focussed problem scope, with an updated problem statement draft

(2) the answers to the questions listed in the below email:

o What are the scaling points?
o What components need to be involved?
o What are the security and privacy considerations?
o What existing work is applicable and what existing work is not
applicable?
o What problems we do NOT want to solve? Most importantly, of course,
who will implement and who will deploy?

(3) a charter

Best regards,

Georgios

Onderwerp: [its] What happened at the BoF 'geonet'

Hello ITSers,

The BoF went well, there were at least 100 people attending; many people
were interested to contribute and work on Internet-wide generic issues
(20 attendees).

However, the Internet-wide geonetworking scope as presented in the
problem statement draft is too wide for the moment and we have to narrow
it.  This will need additional work, and an update of the problem
statement draft.

In particular, thanks to our IAB Advisor Eliot Lear - the following
issues should guide our progress:
o What are the scaling points?
o What components need to be involved?
o What are the security and privacy considerations?
o What existing work is applicable and what existing work is not
   applicable?
o What problems we do NOT want to solve?  Most importantly, of course,
   who will implement and who will deploy?

Goergios and Alex
