IETF 53
Summary of Rserpool WG meeting
Monday 1300-1500
Co-chairs:
Lyndon Ong, [email-masked]
Maureen Stillman, [email-masked]

Approximately 60 people attended this WG meeting.

The Rserpool architecture document was discussed.  It was agreed by the group that more explanation of the services that Rserpool would offer to applications needs to be documented, and Loede Coene volunteered to draft an applicability statement that would provide such material.  Further comments on the architecture document are welcome.

The comparison document was discussed.  Text on CORBA has been added.  One attendee brought up possible relevance of the Sever Cache Synchronization Protocol (SCSP) RFC 2334 to Rserpool.  It was requested that further information about SCSP and potential relationship to Rserpool be posted to the list.  It may offer a complementary set of functions.  Further review of the comparison document was felt to be required before progressing it further.

A draft MIB has been completed for Rserpool by Phil Conrad and students and was submitted as an I-D.  The AD asked that the MIB group work with experienced MIB writers for feedback and guidance.  The MIB document was progressed to a Rserpool WG document by group consensus.

The security design team discussed Rserpool security for several months and reached a consensus.  This consensus was discussed and problems with the end user security were surfaced.  A security mechanism for authentication of the end user to the ENRP server will be added.  This is the next task that the security design team will tackle.

There was consensus that the WG needs a working meeting on the ASAP, ENRP protocols and the architecture document.  An interim meeting will be announced on the mailing list in accordance with IETF guidelines.  Cisco offered to host the meeting in San Jose, CA.
