RE: [TICTOC] preparatory material for new TICTOC charter

Yaakov,

Looks great overall, I just have a couple of minor nits.

Is SSM about management, automatic clock routing, or more likely both?
  (Although I don't know how to handle it better,
    I'm wondering if mentioning SSM with 4, but not 2 and 3 is misleading.)

Should performance measurement be broken into 2 parts?
    1) Performance of the time/freq reference provided by TICTOC
    2) Performance required from the network TICTOC is running over.

Regards,

Stuart

Hi all,

Today Stewart, Karen and I discussed Mark's request to
quickly focus on which of the "modules" need be in scope for the potential WG.

We have come up with the following deliverables,
broken down into two phases
(times in parentheses are months from chartering of WG).

Phase 1:

0.  Architecture draft (based on modularization draft)       (INFO)    (6)
1.1 requirements for time/frequency distribution protocol(s) (INFO)    (9)
1.2 analysis of existing protocols in light of 1.1           (INFO)   (12)
1.3 selection and documentation of distribution protocol(s)  (STD)    (24)
2   Autodiscovery (including security aspects)               (STD)    (12)
3   Topology discovery (including security aspects)          (STD)    (24)

Phase 2:

4 OAM including SSM                                          (STD)    (30)
5 Performance measurement                                    (STD)    (33)
6 Ranging techniques                                         (BCP)    (36)
7 MIBs                                                       (STD)    (30)

Additional work, such as BCPs for various algorithms,
detailed requirements for specific applications (e.g. cellular backhaul),
and research topics such as globally converging classless methods,
will be developed based on interest and participation.

We would appreciate feedback from the list on the choice of
milestones, and the times allotted.

Y(J)S
