- Minutes of the Atlanta Services Location Working Group
-
- This meeting started with the discussion that has started many of these
- meetings, with a discussion of the solutions that exist in the area of
- services location protocols. The examples, as previously given, are the
- XNS network binding protocol, AppleTalk's Name Binding Protocol and of
- course the TCP/IP Resource Location Protocol.
-
- Discussion lead to some of the problems in the propagation of request
- through IP based internets. IP based internets do allow for the
- propagation of datagrams with the use of multicast groups but the
- topography of the IP internet does not necessarily match the propagation
- pattern of the requests which may be organizational or geographical in
- nature.
-
- The group decided to first concentrate on the local network case and
- then concentrate on the problem of extending the architecture to an
- arbitrary internet.
-
- In dealing with the local network situation the group came up with the
- following list of parameters that maybe of interest in the predicate
- portion of look ups:
-
- o Name
- o Service type
- o Organization
- o Geographic location
- o Authentication
- o Next protocol (the next protocol used in finding the service)
- o Query originator
- o Where is the service in relation to where am I (delta distance) the
- predicate protocol to be used.
-
- John Veizades and Leo McLaughlin will be looking into all of this and
- posting something to the list by the next meeting.
-
- This group will also continue to work with Mike Schwartz and the IRTF
- group on resource location.
-
- The next meeting will be at the November IETF.
