[DNA-BOF] Work list Proposal

[Greg Daley <greg.daley@eng.monash.edu.au>]

Hi All,

Here is a suggested workplan.
All of the dates are to get initial revisions,
so we may need to modify this for the charter
to reflect deliverable dates.

At this stage, I've just adopted a
4 step process for each of the tasks:

IPv4 Attachment Detection,
IPv6 Attachment Detection,
IPv6 DAD optimization.

   1.  Define a problem statement (this may
	require describing existing systems)

   2.  Determine Requirements

   3.  Define Base Specification

   4.  Define Further Optimizations (may revisit 2).


I guess Link-Hints would have a document
cataloguing available hints (although we
stillhave to discuss this on the list),
and then one on using Link-Hints to aid DNA.

We'd probably not describe Link-Hints in
the base Detection documents.

The idea is to produce small documents,
even though there are lots of tasks defined,
which means we have to understand the problems
before moving to requirements or solutions
(or we'll get bogged down in requirements
shifting later)...

Smaller documents will make the review process
easier too.

Please tell me if you'd prefer a different method,
so that we can work that in.

Of course if we don't get people interested in
writing so many documents, the system won't
work either (or the deadlines may be too optimistic).
Please express your opinions on this issue.

Greg

Suggested Workplan:

<before next meeting>
      * Define DNA Terminology (or find a document which does,
				 goal: info)
            o by IETF 58

      * Catalogue Existing IPv4 Attachment Detection Systems (goal: info)
            o by IETF 58

      * Define IPv4 Attachment Detection Problem Scope (goal: info)
            o by IETF 58  (is this the same as above?)

      * Define IPv6 Attachment Detection Problem Scope (goal: info)
            o by IETF 58 (waits on terminology)

      * Define IPv6 DAD optimization Problem Scope (goal: info)
            o by IETF 58 (waits on terminology)

      * <provisional> Catalogue Available Link-hints for DNA (goal: info)
            o by IETF 58

<before IETF 59>

      * Investigate Attachment Detection IPv4 revisions,
		(goal: indicate feasability)
            o by IETF 59 (waits on prob4, exist4)

      * Define IPv4 Attachment Detection Requirements (goal: info)
            o by IETF 59

      * Define IPv6 Attachment Detection Requirements (goal: info)
            o by IETF 59 (waits on scope6, terminology)

      * Determine IPv6 DAD optimization Requirements (goal: info)
            o By IETF 58/59 (waits on DADscope, term)

      * Define IPv4 Basic Attachment Detection specification
		(goal: PS/BCP)
            o initial version by IETF 59 (waits on rev4)

      * Define IPv6 Basic Attachment Detection specification (goal: PS)
            o initial version by IETF 59 (waits on reqs6)

<before IETF 60>

      * Investigate IPv4 Attachment Detection optimizations,
		(goal: indicate feasability )
            o by IETF 60 (waits on basic4, req4)

      * Define IPv6 Optimized Attachment Detection procedures
		(goal: Exptl/PS)
            o initial version by IETF 60 (waits on reqs6, basic6, l2hint)

      * Define DAD opt specification (goal: PS/upd 2462 or dhcpv6).
            o initial version By IETF 59/60 (waits on DADreq)

<before IETF 61>

      * Define IPv4 Optimized Attachment Detection procedures
		(goal: Exptl/PS)
            o initial version by IETF 60/61 (waits on optfeas, basic4,
		 l2hint)
