Transport Service at Intermediary BOF (intersec)

Friday, March 21 at 0900-1130
==============================

CHAIR:  Allison Mankin, mankin@psg.com


Description


This BOF begins with the observation that there are some circumstances
in which systems overall can benefit if the end-system knows about a
transport service intermediary and sets out information for it, such
as TCP or QoS classifier information.  In particular, more secure
services may be possible.


The BOF will discuss requirements for a possible protocol in this
space and explore how IETF might work with these.
