Re: [Spud] New Version Notification for draft-herbert-transports-over-udp-01.txt

Hi Tom-

One explicit goal of PLUS is to enable controlled communication between endpoints and devices on the network path. As I understand it, TOU is designed to preclude that communication.  As this is a BoF about chartering a working group around PLUS, the TOU draft neither addresses PLUS motivation (e.g., why we need to communicate to middleboxes?) or architecture (e.g., how could we make this communication work in an world with pervasive encryption?).  Since there was some email discussion of your draft on this list, Brian has tried to address the distinction between PLUS and TOU in his slide deck <https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/96/slides/slides-96-plus-1.pdf> (specifically, slide 20) and I encourage you to send any clarification comments to him.

To be clear, this isn’t a reflection on the merits of your proposal, only that it doesn’t address the goals of the BoF: to determine whether the IETF should take on the work described in the PLUS charter.  Indeed, one could consider TOU to be a competing proposal from an applications perspective, one based on a different set of requirements.  I would suggest that it might be a totally reasonable fit with the TSVWG and you might seek agenda time in that working group.  If you are going to discuss TOU in a wg in Berlin, I encourage you to drop a note to the spud list with the specifics.

Best,

—aaron
