[Sipping] RAQMON I-Ds Last Call

[Henry Sinnreich <[e-mail]>]

Three excellent I-Ds for RAQMON are on last call in the RMONMIB WG:

This is very thorough work and should be made available to the Internet
community as INFORMATIVE RFCs IMHO. The reason why informative ONLY is
recommended is that application specific reporting, such as for VoIP, IM or
SMS messaging, etc. may be application targeted and service providers or IT
managers should not be mandated to use this SNMP based approach, where other
techniques are preferable. The specific approach should be the choice of the
service provider, IT group and the application vendor, for example a desktop
office suite enabled with real time communications or IM and presence SLA
may not need SNMP. 

An example of a VoIP targeted approach is

xt

This proposal is based on the experience of deploying and monitoring large
numbers of personal IP telephony devices, such as SIP phones and PC soft
phones. Other approaches may emerge as well. How do we monitor all the
communication enabled applications on the PC for example, now that every
application, for example in Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Outlook,
Access are SIP/SIMPLE enabled, besides the Windows Messenger and
Conferencing/Collaboration, etc.)?

In summary, the RAQMON I-Ds are ready for last call, but should NOT be the
only mandated approach. I suggest some additional wording to be added to
make this point clear.

I have copied here the co-authors of the proposal for the RTCP Summary in
case the issue of normative vs. informative RAQMON RFCs needs to be
discussed on the list.

Thanks, Henry
