Re: [tcmtf] Answers to possible questions in the BOF

Hi,

I think that we could add the possibility of leveraging TCM in the case encapsulation approaches are in use, like mobility (LISP) or security (IPsec)

Be goode,

Today I have been talking with Bob Briscoe (in cc) and he has asked me this question (more or less). Since it is interesting, I would like to hear the opinion of the list.

Question 7: There exist proprietary products (WAN accelerators and Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs) which are able to optimize traffic.

How will those companies respond to attempts to standardize these protocols? Will it be a problem for them? Will it be interesting?

My answer (more ideas required):

WAN accelerators and PEPs are only part of the involved actors. That is the end-to-end case, in which the end user performs the optimization, and the network does not intervene. I think a standard would be interesting, in order to permit devices from different companies to interact and optimize traffic.

But there is still another case: optimization within the network. Network operators may be interested because they can find paths in the network shared by a lot of small-packet flows, so optimization can also be interesting there. Perhaps the optimizers can be dormant, and be activated only when required (a traffic rush at certain places or moments).

And sometimes the optimization can take place between an end-user device and an operator device. For example, an internet café or a rural village in a developing country, with a single connection shared by a number of people. So a standard protocol for doing that can also be interesting.

Or e.g. two network operators may sign an agreement in order to optimize traffic flows between their aggregation networks. A standard is then necessary.

Any other ideas? Any other reasons for standardization?

Thanks, Bob and everybody.

Jose

Asunto: [tcmtf] Answers to possible questions in the BOF

I would like to start a thread about possible questions people may ask in the BOF. Obviously, we also need answers, so we should cooperate.

This is different from the “questions to ask in the BOF”. This will be discussed separately.

Thanks!

Jose
