Subject: [NSIS] new framework

Dear all,

We have not been idle on the framework front: a new version -02 exists. Until the i-d editor gets to it, you can find a copy at:
http://www.epic.roke.co.uk/epic/draft-ietf-nsis-fw-02.txt

This version has been radically restructured since the -01 version; in particular, the layer split approach is introduced much earlier and the rest of the document restructured around that. Discussions about resource management are now more gathered together at the end, and the rest of the document is (should be) much more independent of signalling application independent. Some of the open issues from the previous version are closed, and others postponed (as being protocol design questions).

Section by section comparison with the previous version is not possible, but on the other hand the new version is nearly 10 pages shorter (==> read it again!)

Comments would be nice. The major open issues are in section 3.4. (IMHO both of then can be considered questions about how much RSVP-related functionality should be in the NTLP, depending on how many RFCs you regard as making up "RSVP" ...) There are other less major open issues as well, but they seem to be contingent on these two: transport and state management functions.

Cheers,

Robert H.
