Re: [P2PSIP] [P2PSIP:Survey] P2PSIP Client Character/Behavior

[Spencer Dawkins <[e-mail]>]

If I have confused Henry and other people - in Philip's note that Henry 
replied to, the text was "but none of us are strong advocates of clients".

This was from MY earlier posting, on 15-Nov-07, at 08:23, where the context 
was

I was referring to the draft authors for a specific draft, not to the entire 
working group, or the entire P2P community :-)

What I meant by this was that the draft authors had gone through each 
application scenario, looking for the scenarios that seemed to require more 
users than peers, assuming that the way you support more users than peers is 
through SOME kind of client, either CS-SIP or "a client protocol", and 
trying to visualize whether CS-SIP would be sufficient in these scenarios, 
but none of the authors had expressed strong opinions about the need for a 
non-SIP client protocol during our work on the draft.

When this draft was submitted, none of us had written a draft advocating 
non-SIP clients, although Eunsoo said earlier this week that he will do 
that.

That's ALL I meant, and if people would like to express opinions about 
application scenarios in 
http://tools.ietf.org/wg/p2psip/draft-bryan-p2psip-app-scenarios-00.txt, we 
would be thrilled to hear them.

Thanks,

Spencer
