Subject: Orlando IETF "RUTS" BOF
Author: [email protected] at mime
Date: 12/1/98 11:11 PM
A number of IETF efforts have developed or are developing different forms of
reliable (and often "lightweight") transport protocols, frequently using UDP
with their own retransmission algorithm, because they perceive that TCP is
inadequate for their requirements. We've put together a BOF for next Monday
morning (9:30-11:30) at the Orlando IETF to understand these requirements
better (description appended).
The elements of the BOF span much of the Transport Area. If you think
that your WG members would find this BOF of interest, please forward this
message to the WG mailing list.
Thanks,
Vern

Requirements for Unicast Transport/Sessions (RUTS)
Chairs: Scott Bradner & Vern Paxson
Description:
A number of IETF efforts have developed or are developing different forms
of reliable (and often "lightweight") transport protocols, because they
perceive that TCP is inadequate for their requirements. This BOF will
explore what those requirements are, serving both as input into a TSV
directorate document discussing the services that can be built on top of
TCP; and to gauge the utility of developing a transport protocol (perhaps
a TCP variant) and/or session protocol that can meet these needs in a
general way.
The focus is on clear-and-present requirements for unicast and reliable (or
"near-reliable") transport/sessions, and not on general transport protocol
features, nor on specific alternative transport protocols (except as they
illustrate requirements).
Agenda:
Introduction
Requirements underlying:
COPS
RADIUS
L2TP
HTTP-NG
SIP
NFSv4
telephony
Requirements summary
Security implications
TCP and these requirements
which can it currently meet
which can it meet by adding options
which can it meet by tweaking its model
which are significantly outside its model
