Request for Policy BOF
[Note: Please excuse multiple notes if you are on more than one of these
lists. See bottom of this note for a mailing list specifically for
discussion of policy frameworks.]
Scott and Vern,
Please consider this to be a formal request for a BOF at the August IETF on
the topic of "Policy Framework".
(This request was compiled from the results of an informal policy meeting in
Cambridge, June 12,
1998, which took place immediately following the diffserv interim meeting,
held there June 11-12. In fairness to those participants, I am copying the
diffserv mailing list, and I therefore felt it to be only fair to copy other
working group mailing lists who may have an interest....please see policy
mailing list at end of this note for discussion on this BOF request.)
Number of Attendees (to informal pre-BOF policy meeting): 41
(Signup list available on request)
At this stage, the agenda is preliminary, and not all presenters have
confirmed. I have also left room for other presenters.
Should the BOF be approved, and others want time on the agenda, please
contact
me at:
ellesson@raleigh.ibm.com
BOF Description
----------------
Objectives of BOF:
1. To consider the creation of a new IETF working group called "Policy
Framework". The proposed scope for this working group includes a common,
interoperable, and scalable framework and namespace for administering QOS
and VPN security policy in a single network domain which uses some or all
of the following protocols:
LDAP, SNMP, COPS, RADIUS, RSVP, Intserv, Diffserv, ISSLL, DSSLL, IPSEC
2. To develop a charter for this new working group
3. To discuss the proposed architectural framework and functional
description of the architectural elements, for policy administration and
distribution, documented in draft-ellesson-sla-schema-02.txt (see diffserv
archive)
4. To discuss the functional requirements of a schema or schemas which
could act as a central repository for policy rules for administering QOS
and security policy in a single network domain. (QOS includes rsvp,
intserv, diffserv, issll and dssll. Security includes vpn and ipsec.)
(The reason that both QOS and VPN security are considered here, is that it
may be more efficient to include them both in the same schema, from an
implementation and management perspective.)
5. To discuss whether a specific schema should be a deliverable of the
working group.
