- Survey on OSI in Your Network
-
- Survey timeframe.
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- Please return this by 3/31/91. The survey looks long, but
- hopefully will only take 10-15 minutes to fill out.
- A document reviewing these results will be available by April 7th.
- Please also fill out this contact information for the survey.
-
- Contact information:
-
- (Please fill out this information for all survey forms:)
-
- 1.) person filling out the survey
- 2.) title and your position in the company
- 3.) company or network
- 4.) person (or group) to contact about OSI for this network
- or company
-
- person/group:
- title:
- phone number:
- email address:
-
- 5.) person (or group) to contact for help if OSI trouble
- shooting needed
-
- 6.) Location of any on-line document on networks OSI service
- 7.) Location of network's osi routing plan
-
-
-
-
- Introduction to the Survey:
-
- Location of an Questions 1-6 are for those who route Connection Network Layer
- Packets (CLNP ISO 8473) or DECNET Phase 5 traffic on their network.
- Questions 7-8 are for those who do not yet route CLNP or DECNET Phase 5.
-
- Questions:
-
- 1.) Do you support the routing of Connection Network Layer
- Protocol (CLNP (ISO 8473)) packets on your network?
-
- If so,
-
- 1.1) What number of routers do you have in your
- network? How many of these routers pass
- CLNP packets?
-
- 1.2) What router vendors do you use in your
- network? What router vendors do you use
- in the routers that are passing CLNP packets?
-
- 1.3) What type of intra-domain routing do you do within your
- network? IS-IS? Cisco IGRP based OSI? static?
-
- 1.4) What type of inter-domain routing do you do?
- Cisco poor-man's Inter-domain routing?
- static?
-
- 1.5) Would you be interested in the new ISO Inter-Domain
- Routing Protocol (IDRP (ISO CD 10747)) when it
- becomes available?
-
- 1.6) Do you consider the OSI service to be:
-
- Production - guaranteed delivery and
- high level of service,
-
- Experimental - guaranteed delivery, but
- service may be behind IP,
-
- Prototype - A first offerings of CLNP which
- is limited to a few sites, or
-
- Pilot - For demonstrations and Pilot projects
- only?
-
- Please select the category nearest to your service.
- You may include other comments to further qualify
- this service level.
-
- 1.7) What amount of traffic do you pass per day,
- per week and per month?
-
-
-
- 2.) Are you now routing DECNET Phase 5 traffic on your system?
-
- If you are routing DECNET Phase 5:
-
- a.) What type of routers are you using?
- (manufacturer and model?
- b.) How many routers do you have?
- c.) What type of hosts are sending traffic?
- d.) How many DECNET Phase 5 hosts do you have?
-
-
- 3.) Do you currently attach one or more OSI vendor company to
- your network? Do any of these companies send OSI traffic across
- the network?
-
- If so,
- 3.1) How many OSI companies are attached to your
- network?
- 3.2) How many of these OSI companies send
- application data regularly?
- 3.3) What are the companies attached to your network?
- 3.4) What applications are these companies using?
- It would be helpful to list the applications
- by company if that is possible.
-
- 3.5) Would any of these companies be interested
- in "Pilot" projects to try exchanging OSI
- applications with those people on the Internet.
-
- 4.) Do you support OSI applications at your network site?
-
- If so,
-
- 4.1) What applications do you support?
- Do you support:
-
- X.500
- X.400
- FTAM
- VT
- Xwindows
- SQL based applications
- CMIP
- (please answer yes or no to each applications)
-
- others - please list with company
-
- 4.2) For each of the applications you answered yes
- to above please indicate:
-
- a.) equipment the application runs on
- b.) does it run over CLNP/TP4 stack or
- TCP/IP stack
- c.) what vendor supplies the software
- d.) any comments on how easy it is to use
-
- 4.3) Are you a part of a Pilot Project or testing
- group for this application?
-
- 4.4) Would you be willing to be a part of a Pilot
- Project or testing group for this application?
-
-
- 4.5) Do you have a set of routers or hosts which
- could form a "test bed" at your site?
- These routers and hosts could be used on
- either a short term or long term basis
- to test out new software in the Internet.
-
- 4.6) Would you be willing to have a "test bed"
- at your site if additional funding for
- this was available?
-
- 5.) Do you have any of the following network tools
- on your routers?
-
- a.) OSI ping (or echo function)
- b.) OSI traceroute
- c.) OSI table dump
-
- What routers have these functions? How would
- you rate the User Interface to these network
- tools - poor, fair, good, or excellent?
-
- 6.) Do you have any of the following network tools
- on your hosts?
-
- a.) OSI ping (or echo function)
- b.) OSI traceroute
- c.) OSI table dump
-
- What hosts have these functions? How would
- you rate the User Interface to these network
- tools - poor, fair, good, or excellent?
-
-
-
- 7.) If you do not support switching CLNP packets today,
-
- a.) Will you need to route DECNET Phase 5
- in the future?
-
- b.) Will you route CLNP packets if
- you had clients that required OSI service?
-
- c.) Will you route CLNP packets only when
- IS-IS was supported on all your routers?
- (please indicate what types of routers
- you use in your network)
-
- d.) Will you need network tools (that supported an
- osi ping, osi traceroute, and osi routing
- table dump) to support CLNP in your network?
-
- e.) Will you require both clients and IS-IS supported on
- all your routers (b and c above)
-
- f.) Will you require that you have OSI clients, IS-IS on all
- your routers, and OSI network tools (b, c and d above)
-
- Please answer yes or no to items a thru e. Additional
- comments are also welcome.
-
-
- 8.) If you do not currently use an OSI application at your
- site, please answer the following:
-
- 8.1) Would you be interested in X.500?
- In X.500 over TCP/IP? In X.500
- over CLNP?
-
- 8.2) Would you be interested in X.400?
- in X.400 over TCP/IP? In X.400
- over CLNP?
-
- 8.3) Would you be interested in FTAM over
- ISO Transport Class 4 (TP4) and CLNP?
-
- 8.4) Would be interested in VT over TP and CLNP?
-
- 8.5) Would you be interested in trying out
- TCP over CLNP?
-
- 8.6) Would you be interested in trying out
- X-windows over CLNP?
