Subject: [Int-area] INT area BOFs

This e-mail is to let everyone know what the
status of the various proposals on the Internet
area is.

You may have already seen that all BOF proposals
and related documentation can be accessed via the
BOF wiki page at:
http://www1.tools.ietf.org/bof/trac/wiki/WikiStart

On the Internet area we got three proposals:

1. DSMI (Dual-Stack Moving Internet)

    This was a proposal to extend
    NETLMM functionality to handle IPv4 and
    allow federated local mobility domains.

    No BOF will be run in IETF-67. However,
    I stated that once NETLMM WG has a
    stable base protocol we can talk about
    extensions. IPv4 is an obvious task, and
    would only need a minor charter change.
    Roaming/federation needs more discussion,
    but could possible be handled through another
    rechartering or BOF at IETF-68.

2. SAVA (Source Address Validation Architecture)

    This was a proposal to go beyond ingress
    filtering and RPF to achieve better validation
    of source addresses in the Internet. The
    goal was to address a number of different
    issues in this space, but the part that I
    personally found most interesting was
    source address validation at the destination
    network side.

    No BOF will be run in IETF-67, but as
    better mechanisms in this space would
    be useful, we hope to see further work.
    For instance, the set of new solutions that
    we know are being worked on is very
    interesting. With a tightly defined scope
    and a demonstrated set of solutions ready
    for engineering this could perhaps be
    a BOF in IETF-68. In the meantime we
    are thinking of either giving some time
    in the open area meeting or organizing
    a bar BOF in San Diego.

3. MPI (Mobile Platform Internet)

    This was a proposal to address the needs of
    the airline industry as they enhance existing
    entertainment/Internet access networks and
    move legacy service and control communications
    to run over IP networks. Specific needs in the
    area of routing to moving networks and
    network access control were listed.

    There is no BOF for this at IETF-67 either.
    Instead, the specific issues will be taken to
    the relevant working groups such as NEMO.
    In addition, work continues in the airline
    industry standardization bodies and further
    issues may come up and be taken to either
    existing WGs or addressed via future BOFs.

As you can see, we hope that work progresses
on all of these topics in various forms. Please
contribute to the efforts.
