- The Minutes below should be considered a Rough Draft - 4/01/92 Megan
-
- Minutes from Dynamic Creation of Network Links (T3 Circuits) BOF
-
- Reported By Andy Nicholson / Cray Research, Inc.
-
- The documents describing the work done at Cray Research in this area
- have been recently published as RFC's, 1306 and 1307.
-
- At this meeting there was an almost total turnover of interested
- attendees, but there still seems to be a significant level of interest
- in the topic of dynamic control of links. I had prepared a suggested
- scope for work to be done, and was not prepared for a reintroduction
- to the material, which was necessary.
-
- After the assembled group was brought up to date on the preceeding
- work, and some alternatives were discussed, we agreed that my proposal
- was on the right track. I put this in the form of a problem
- statement:
-
- To develop a standard method of access and control for network
- links which are available but not normally active within the internet.
-
- I offered to publish all the previous minutes and references to the
- existing documents on the mailing list. After everyone has had a
- chance to refer to this work and begin discussing it, we will be able
- to determine if there is reason to form a working group within the
- IETF.
-
- I discussed this work with Phil Almquist, the area director, and he
- pointed out that anything produced would be best documented as
- experimental, as there is not enough experience with this work in the
- internet to suggest the adoption of a proposed standard.
