Howdy,

Just to add my two cents to the "use case" controversy.

>From the point of view of the network the way we envisage the TCM-TF ingress/egress optimisers' deployment could be as follows.

* Multidomain, in the sense the TCMT-TF goes all the way from one network edge to another, and therefore can cross several domains. Note that this is not from border to border (which could be covered with specialized links) but from edge to edge (e.g. managing all traffic from individual users arriving at a Game Provider, regardless users' location)
* Single Domain, so the TCM-TF is only activated inside an ISP, from the edge to border  inside the network operator. The geographical scope and network depth of TCM-TF activation could be on demand, according to traffic conditions
* "Private Solutions". TCM-TF is used to connect private networks geographically apart (e.g) corporation headquarters and subsidiaries), without the ISP being aware (or having to manage) those flows.
* Mixed Scenarios, any combination of the previous scenarios.

Best Regards,

Asunto: Re: [tcmtf] Improved version (v8) of the TCM-TF charter draft

Hi,

Some comments:

* Put somewhere more explicitly the problem statement. If we are doing this to save bandwidth, then I suggest saying so in one bullet instead of being lost inside a huge paragraph.
* Number 5: "So the first objective of this group². Then number 6 "As a first objective, a document..². There are two first objectives with different descriptions. Are these the same document or different documents?
* "The document will present a list of available traffic classification methods which can be used for identification of the service or application to which a particular flow belongs². My first reaction would be to not try to list available classification methods since it will get into implementation details. And what if traffic is e2e encrypted? Given the whole surveillance thing should we we can expect this to happen? How would you know a flow is candidate or suitable for compression?
* I wonder if some of the possible scenarios really apply. It seems we are throwing everything to see what sticks.  Example: Journalist covering the a cycling competition do not need write their report real time. And if they need to do a interview, it seems to be working well right now, HD and everything.
* "- an agreement between two network operators could allow them to compress a number of flows they are exchanging between a pair of Internet Routers². Not sure compressing flows between peering routers is a good use-case.
