Internet Nearcast Service BOF (incs)
Tuesday, April 8 at 1530-1730
=============================
DESCRIPTION:
1. Explore technical issues associated with the creation
of an Internet Nearcast Service.
2. Determine what related efforts exist.
3. Gauge interest in participating in the work.
4. Possibly gauge concensus in creating a working group.
This BOF is a bit preliminary, since the technical ideas
are only sketched out at this point. I envision, assuming
things go well at the BOF, that an internet-draft will be
created between Memphis and Munich, and that this internet-draft
will be the basis for a more "serious" BOF in Munich. It
is more likely that the second BOF would make the decision
about forming a working group.
AGENDA:
1. Presentation and discussion of the problem and various
existing approaches (Anycast, Service Location Protocol,
web caching, etc.). Paul Francis.
2. Presentation of the proposed INCS architecture (as outlined
in a white paper that will be posted shortly and will be
available with the announcement of the BOF). Paul Francis.
3. Discussion of pros and cons of proposed INCS architecture.
4. Discussion of whether and how to proceed.
