Re: [RE] Grand master identifier ==>(evolved to) overprovisioning==>reference lists

The reference shows that all of these standards are
insufficient to meet the goal of:
"Assuming 75% time-sensitive traffic with arbitrary topology
and loading (subject the the aforementioned 75% rule),"

Did you see any flaws in the timing diagrams?

Sorry, I'm not really a network veteran. I would assume your
reference library or coworkers could do a much better job than I.
But, if you can do so, I would certainly include these in the
working paper references or bibliography.

 

2. These standards would be applied to our problem in this way...

Actually, they haven't. Of course, they have opportunity
to join/respond to the reflector. But, I have never perfected
the art of coercing volunteers to work on my behalf.

The proposed revisions meet the following:
"Assuming 75% time-sensitive traffic with arbitrary topology
and loading (subject the the aforementioned 75% rule),"
The existing standards do not.

If you truely need a flawless list of all standards, complete
with a detailed analysis of every implementation option,
I can't help you any more.

David,

Forgive my naivete, but I don't see how an annex titled "Bursting and bunching considerations" qualifies in response to "references to the existing standards for provisioning, admission control, policing and QOS."

What I (personally) am looking for is a presentation of the following:

1. The current standards for provisioning, admission control, policing and are...

2. These standards would be applied to our problem in this way...

3. Some or all of these do not meet our requirements because...

4. The originators of these standards have responded...

5. We think changes to 802.3 (or 802.1 - for their discussion) will be better because...

Hugh.

demonstrate why they don't meet your needs
      


Perhaps you missed a previous email?
For convenience, that message from DVJ is repeated below:

overprovisioning
  
Assuming 75% time-sensitive traffic with arbitrary topology
and loading (subject the the aforementioned 75% rule), then
I believe proofs are contained within "Annex G" of:
  http://www.ieee802.org3/re_study/material/index.html
      



In response to the following statement:
  
and then propose something tangibly different.
      

Something tangibly different can also be found in:
     http://www.ieee802.org3/re_study/material/index.html
But, for this purpose, please exclude Annex G, which
illustrates the need but is not part of the solution.

It meets "tangibly different" in the sence that it meets the
"Assuming 75% time-sensitive traffic with arbitrary topology
and loading (subject the the aforementioned 75% rule)"
criteria and existing standards do no.

Its violates "tangible different" in that the working paper
is evolutionary, not revolutionary, heavily leveraging
concepts and techniques from existing standards. But,
I hope that (in this context) this is a desirable trait.

Cheers,
DVJ
