Survey on OSI in Your Network
Survey timeframe.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Please return this by 3/31/91. The survey looks long, but
hopefully will only take 10-15 minutes to fill out.
A document reviewing these results will be available by April 7th.
Please also fill out this contact information for the survey.
Contact information:
(Please fill out this information for all survey forms:)
1.) person filling out the survey
2.) title and your position in the company
3.) company or network
4.) person (or group) to contact about OSI for this network
or company
person/group:
title:
phone number:
email address:
5.) person (or group) to contact for help if OSI trouble
shooting needed
6.) Location of any on-line document on networks OSI service
7.) Location of network's osi routing plan
Introduction to the Survey:
Location of an Questions 1-6 are for those who route Connection Network Layer
Packets (CLNP ISO 8473) or DECNET Phase 5 traffic on their network.
Questions 7-8 are for those who do not yet route CLNP or DECNET Phase 5.
Questions:
1.) Do you support the routing of Connection Network Layer
Protocol (CLNP (ISO 8473)) packets on your network?
If so,
1.1) What number of routers do you have in your
network? How many of these routers pass
CLNP packets?
1.2) What router vendors do you use in your
network? What router vendors do you use
in the routers that are passing CLNP packets?
1.3) What type of intra-domain routing do you do within your
network? IS-IS? Cisco IGRP based OSI? static?
1.4) What type of inter-domain routing do you do?
Cisco poor-man's Inter-domain routing?
static?
1.5) Would you be interested in the new ISO Inter-Domain
Routing Protocol (IDRP (ISO CD 10747)) when it
becomes available?
1.6) Do you consider the OSI service to be:
Production - guaranteed delivery and
high level of service,
Experimental - guaranteed delivery, but
service may be behind IP,
Prototype - A first offerings of CLNP which
is limited to a few sites, or
Pilot - For demonstrations and Pilot projects
only?
Please select the category nearest to your service.
You may include other comments to further qualify
this service level.
1.7) What amount of traffic do you pass per day,
per week and per month?
2.) Are you now routing DECNET Phase 5 traffic on your system?
If you are routing DECNET Phase 5:
a.) What type of routers are you using?
(manufacturer and model?
b.) How many routers do you have?
c.) What type of hosts are sending traffic?
d.) How many DECNET Phase 5 hosts do you have?
3.) Do you currently attach one or more OSI vendor company to
your network? Do any of these companies send OSI traffic across
the network?
If so,
3.1) How many OSI companies are attached to your
network?
3.2) How many of these OSI companies send
application data regularly?
3.3) What are the companies attached to your network?
3.4) What applications are these companies using?
It would be helpful to list the applications
by company if that is possible.
3.5) Would any of these companies be interested
in "Pilot" projects to try exchanging OSI
applications with those people on the Internet.
4.) Do you support OSI applications at your network site?
If so,
4.1) What applications do you support?
Do you support:
X.500
X.400
FTAM
VT
Xwindows
SQL based applications
CMIP
(please answer yes or no to each applications)
others - please list with company
4.2) For each of the applications you answered yes
to above please indicate:
a.) equipment the application runs on
b.) does it run over CLNP/TP4 stack or
TCP/IP stack
c.) what vendor supplies the software
d.) any comments on how easy it is to use
4.3) Are you a part of a Pilot Project or testing
group for this application?
4.4) Would you be willing to be a part of a Pilot
Project or testing group for this application?
4.5) Do you have a set of routers or hosts which
could form a "test bed" at your site?
These routers and hosts could be used on
either a short term or long term basis
to test out new software in the Internet.
4.6) Would you be willing to have a "test bed"
at your site if additional funding for
this was available?
5.) Do you have any of the following network tools
on your routers?
a.) OSI ping (or echo function)
b.) OSI traceroute
c.) OSI table dump
What routers have these functions? How would
you rate the User Interface to these network
tools - poor, fair, good, or excellent?
6.) Do you have any of the following network tools
on your hosts?
a.) OSI ping (or echo function)
b.) OSI traceroute
c.) OSI table dump
What hosts have these functions? How would
you rate the User Interface to these network
tools - poor, fair, good, or excellent?
7.) If you do not support switching CLNP packets today,
a.) Will you need to route DECNET Phase 5
in the future?
b.) Will you route CLNP packets if
you had clients that required OSI service?
c.) Will you route CLNP packets only when
IS-IS was supported on all your routers?
(please indicate what types of routers
you use in your network)
d.) Will you need network tools (that supported an
osi ping, osi traceroute, and osi routing
table dump) to support CLNP in your network?
e.) Will you require both clients and IS-IS supported on
all your routers (b and c above)
f.) Will you require that you have OSI clients, IS-IS on all
your routers, and OSI network tools (b, c and d above)
Please answer yes or no to items a thru e. Additional
comments are also welcome.
8.) If you do not currently use an OSI application at your
site, please answer the following:
8.1) Would you be interested in X.500?
In X.500 over TCP/IP? In X.500
over CLNP?
8.2) Would you be interested in X.400?
in X.400 over TCP/IP? In X.400
over CLNP?
8.3) Would you be interested in FTAM over
ISO Transport Class 4 (TP4) and CLNP?
8.4) Would be interested in VT over TP and CLNP?
8.5) Would you be interested in trying out
TCP over CLNP?
8.6) Would you be interested in trying out
X-windows over CLNP?
