[RPRWG] PAH: Protection Ad Hoc meeting
Hi
Our first Protection Ad Hoc plan to start at
Time: Wed 8/ 7 10:00AM PST
Duration: 2 hours
Location:
Cisco System, Building 16
San Jose, CA 95134
Please let me know if you want to attend in person or through conference
call by 8/.2.
So that I can compile PAH email list and set up the conference call
appropriately.
The tentative agenda for the first meeting
1. Verify that issues list is complete
2. Partition tasks as appropriate,
3. Plan order of resolving the issues,
4. Set up process ground rules
If you have any suggestion for agenda or contribution you want to make in
the first meeting,
please let me know by 8/4 so that I can allocate time slot in the
agenda.
As for the issues, Jason and I have group them as the followings.
A. Determine partitioning of topology and protection functions between
protocols
- ·
Clearly
identify and itemize interface between topology, protection, and other
modules within the MAC
- (may
be impacted as issues in B and C are addressed as well)
· Are
topology and protection separate from a protocol standpoint and/or from a
messaging standpoint?
· Clearly
identify triggers for sending topology messages
· Can
protection distinguish, using only protection messaging, whether a newly
connected station is a
new
neighbor or the same as a previously connected neighbor
B. Address remaining topology-specific issues
- ·
What
actions, if any, are taken upon failure to receive topology messages?
· Criteria
and algorithm for consistency checking of topology image
· Get
input from RAH on units and ranges of provisioned class A bandwidth
information reported in topology messages
· Generate
revised topology clause for September/October mtg.
C. Address remaining protection-specific issues in the following
suggested order:
Grp a:
- ·
How
uniform should the behavior of wrapping and steering be in terms of
reporting of link status throughout the ring?
· Is
the wrapping status bit required?
· Insertion
of steering station into an operating wrapping ring
· Do
multiple signal degrades result in a single wrap or no wraps?
Grp b:
- ·
How
do non-revertive modes work for steering and wrapping?
· Retransmission
of messages: exponential backoff or fixed period, what are limits on
period?
· How
is variability of fairness advertisement interval handled as related to
the loss of keep-alive trigger?
Grp c:
- ·
Generate
revised protection clause for September/October mtg.
