- Minutes of the Service Location Protocol Working Group (SVRLOC)
-
- The Service Location Working Group met to discuss the latest proposal on
- service location by Scott Kaplan. The document was discussed and
- comments were made relating to:
-
-
- o Scalablity - This proposal has to work from the dentist office case
- to some upward bound. How is that upward bound found and how does
- the protocol make the transition at this boundary case? This is
- particularly of issue with the initial dictionary query.
- o Security - How does the protocol pass around security information
- for authorization control.
- o Multilingual - The protocol can be designed to support a variety of
- languages in one administrative domain by the use of a translation
- service. The issue of data encoding came up and ASCII english will
- be used for transmission of character information used in text
- matching and the translation service will handle multilingual
- issues. This should be addressed in the next draft of the
- document.
-
-
- The Group thought that the proposal was in general on the right track.
- John Veizades and Scott Kaplan will continue to evolve the proposal with
- intent to have an Internet Draft by the beginning of next year.
-
- Bill Nowiciki presented work on RAP by Legato. Interesting insights
- observed are that protocols like this provide one user interface to
- services per platform solving the cross product problem of services to
- platforms.
-
- Scott Kaplan is now the Co-Chair of this Working Group taking over from
- Leo. There will be a new Charter coming out shortly reflecting this and
- an accurate schedule for the Working Group.
