Actual agenda:
* RoE link setup (Gareth)
* Spec draft D0.5 review (Richard)
Discussion:
* Action points from last meeting:
- AP1 Done: Kevin to produce the tunneling mapper text
- AP2 Done: Gareth to sketch link setup procedure proposal
- AP3 Done: Richard M. to produce D0.5 for the next call
* Gareth went through the presentation on RoE link setup.
PPT in http://www.ieee1904.org/3/email/msg00422.html
* RoE nodes do not have roles per se. Jouni proposed that a
role could be a local setting/variable that never goes on
wire and can be configured e.g., during deployment time.
* Synchronizing RoE nodes (endpoints) still open. We need a
state machine for that purpose and clear guidelines how
and when endpoints know they are in operational mode. One
example is after parameter negotiation to start dummy data
flows that eventually allow end points to move to operational
move after encoutering a well defined event (e.g., after
seeing certain seqnum etc).
* Explicit termination of flows probably needed to release
flowIDs etc.
* Discussion to continue on the reflector.
* Richard went through the D0.5. The draft was not uploaded
yet by the time of presentation.
* Kevin's tunneling mapper text available but not incorporated
yet. Same for Sriram's text. Jouni to provide multiple
text snippets.
* The control packet common header format was replaced by a
timing packet, which needs to be reverted.
* New update to follow shortly. Discussion on numbering.
Consult Glen (WG chair).
* Jouni showed quickly Kevin's tunneling mapper text proposal.
No discussion since we ran out of time.
* New action points:
- AP1: Jouni to provide the control process text
- AP2: Jouni to provide experimental packet type text
- AP3: Jouni to provide the pattern match text
- AP4: Gareth to lead and continue the RoE link setup
discussion.
- AP5: Richard to provide D0.5x update with text inputs
from Kevin and Sriram, and also correcting the
misplaced control packet picture. If jouni manages
AP1-3 in time they can also be included.
Next Call:
* 4/5/2016 _10AM_ PDT. Note the exceptional time!
