Description of Working Group:
The purpose of this group is to develop or adopt procedures, mechanisms
and protocols to support user roaming among groups of Internet service
providers (ISPs). This is different from, but related to, the work of
the IP Routing for Wireless/Mobile Hosts Working Group (mobileip) in
that the roamops group is not concerned with the movement of hosts or
subnets, but of users. In the near term, the goals of the group will
be to produce an architectural document describing the basic mechanisms
required to support user roaming. A repository for documentation
describing current roaming implementations will also be maintained.
In addition, the group will address interoperability among ISPs and
roaming users by standardizing such items as network usage data
exchange (including the content, format and protocols involved), phone
book attributes and exchange/update protocols, inter-ISP authentication
mechanisms and exploring in depth the security issues involved with
roaming. This work is expected to consist mainly of new or revised
procedures and application-layer protocols.
Any and all business issues regarding the operation of an ISP roaming
network (such as settlement, business and billing methods) are
specifically NOT in the scope of the roamops Working Group and will not
be discussed.
The group will work closely with other IETF Working Groups (including
mobileip, radius, nasreqng saag and cat) to identify issuesto which the
roamops group should attend, as well as to assure their work does not
make roaming unnecessarily difficult or impossible.
The utmost goal of the group will to make sure, by any means necessary,
that it produces documents of high quality that are useful to the IETF
community.
