[sip-clf] Defining Pros and Cons of ASCII/IPFIX

[Peter Musgrave <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

As co-chair I am looking for a way to make a determination about how to meet
the groups decision to move forward with just one format in a WG which has
good support for two formats.

In my (personal) opinion I think the objective is to develop something that
will be widely implemented. I would like to solicit input from a larger
audience - but first I think we need to frame the pros and cons.

I would like to suggest the following:

1) Use the list and the Beijing meeting to come to a consensus on the pros
and cons of each and the applications which may favour one format vs
another.

2) Place these pros/cons on the WG Wiki [I can act as editor]

3) Solicit input from SIP Implementors - referring them to the WG WIki
- use the Columbia sip-implementors, sipforum list and SIPT27

4) Review the feedback and try to come to a conclusion on the list (or
failing that, in Prague at IETF80)

I will be at SIPIT27 - so I can raise awareness of this discussion in that
community.

How do people feel about this approach?

I welcome any other/additional ways to resolve this issue.

Regards,

Peter Musgrave
co-chair
