Just to let people know - Allison wants to move the TRIGTRAN
work forward, in concert with ALIAS. We weren't able to do
much with notifications without more emphasis on security, and
that's what ALIAS is intended to add. The LinkUp work is moving
with the rest of TRIGTRAN for now, so - see you in ALIAS...

Thanks,

Spencer, for Spencer and Carl

> PROPOSED CHARTER:
>
> Several types of access links in widespread use for Internet connectivity
> today have characteristics that affect the operation Internet protocols
and
> services. Low-bandwidth, high latency links patched over telephone lines
via
> modems are one common example. Radio links in wireless networks (such as
> GSM, IS-95, GPRS and 802.11) are another example. These links often have
> undesirable characteristics such as high loss, high delay and low
reliability.
> Transport intermediaries have been used to enhance the performance of
> problematic links in the past (see RFC 3135). This BoF investigates
further
> work in support of transport intermediaries that provide assistance to
> access links, including (but not exclusively) wireless links, primarily in
> the areas of security protocol interaction with transport intermediaries
and
> response to changing link conditions. In particular, existing
intermediaries
> used for these purposes interfere with IPSec and may weaken overall
> end-to-end security - work is therefore necessary to determine how to
> request, authenticate and authorize the services of intermediaries, and
when
> possible to mitigate the interference of intermediaries in security.
>
> This work focuses on support for TCP initially but does not preclude
> consideration of other transport-layer protocols. The relationship of
> transport intermediaries to devices constrained by OPES and UNSAF is also
> critical to the architectural framework.
