- Notes:
-
- Subject 1: RFC 1139
-
- No one thinks the short term option in RFC 1139 is good. The
- long term option is the only desired. This long term ping
- function was taken into ISO in June of 1991, and is going on PDAM
- ballot. The IESG needs to do something with RFC 1139. Since the
- ISO work is coming a long, and a little different than the RFC,
- the RFC will be re-written to match the ISO text. A copy of this
- will be forwarded to the working group.
-
- Dave Piscitello, Sue Hares and Cathy Wittbrodt will re-write RFC
- 1139 to match the ISO text.
-
- Subject 2: Tools RFC -
-
- The tools RFC will go through a final revision, and be published
- in August as an Internet Draft. Comments are really needed about
- the variables selected in the end of the text.
-
- A long discussion ensued here about whether a few variables are
- enough or the whole MIB. Mostly, the people thought a few
- variables would be enough. Also, a discussion occurred about
- SNMP over connectionless transport. Why don't you just use SNMP
- over IP to manage your node. The problem some people face is
- that IP paths and CLNP paths do not go the same way.
-
- Subject 3: Transport MIB
-
- A discussion was held to see if this work was useful in the NOOP
- working group. The group generally agreed that they would be
- interested in reviewing the MIB. The following general things
- were suggested as things to monitor: checksum errors, protocol errors,
- counts on octets sent.
-
- Dave Piscitello will do TCP MIB/Transport MIB comparison.
- Transport MIB will be sent to mailing group.
-
- Subject 4: Tuba presentation
-
- Ross Callon (DEC) gave a presentation of his TUBA/TUCAN document.
- Please refer to that document for the full details.
-
- Subject 5: INTEROP Spring '92
-
- Richard Collela (NIST) and Doug Montegomery (NIST) spent a day at
- hot-stage on IS-IS, and found a couple of bugs. Due to other problems,
- the operational show network used static routing and cisco IGRP-OSI
- routing. The OSI connectivity to the rest of the world was stable.
-
- Also, on evening, IS-IS was brought up on all the show floor as a
- trial and went reasonably smoothly.
-
- The demos were: NIST routing Lab and Infrastructure. The NIST
- routing Lab had 7 vendor implementations if IS-IS with a network
- monitor showing the topology. The equipment was configured in 4
- L1 areas and connected to the show network.
-
- The Infrastructure demonstration had 8 sites in US, and 8 sites
- in Europe. The network monitor station showing End system
- connectivity and status. The tools used on the Infrastructure
- network monitor were: clnp ping, clnp trace, and FTAM to remote sites.
-
- The October '92 Interop has no spot for an InfraStructure
- demonstration. IS-IS may be operational on the show network
- The Spring '93 INTEROP will have an OSI Technology Showcase.
- .
- Subject 6: Skinny stack and OSI presentation
-
- Jim Quigley (HP) gave an excellent presentation of what the OSI
- applications need as upper layers. In fact most applications
- only need a basic communications. Three types of this basic
- communication has been defined by the OSI Implementor's workshop
- (NIST OIW) by the upper layer Special Interest Group (ULSIG):
- Migrant (non-OSI such as TCP), X windows, and kernel (OSI
- applications). Prototypes of X windows over skinny stack over
- TP-4 have been produced and demonstrated by ULCC and Dr. Peter
- Furniss. This code will be released into the public domain.
-
- Watch for x-windows over OSI code announcement.
