Reliable Server Pools Working Group (rserpool)

Friday, December 15 at 0900-1130

CHAIRS: Lyndon Ong (long@pointreyesnetworks.com)
        Maureen Stillman (maureen.stillman@nokia.com)

This was the first official meeting of the reliable server pooling working group.  We began with a discussion of requirements for reliable server pooling.  Michael Tuexen gave a presentation based on an internet draft. This was summary of activity on the mailing list over the past several months.  A lively debate of requirements ensued and new requirements uncovered.  The group voted to make this requirements document draft-tuexen-rserpool-reqts-01.txt a working group document.  It will continue to be refined and debated on the mailing list.

A variety of relevant scenarios were presented and extensively debated to motivate an architecture definition.  These scenarios included:

   - FTP: Randy Stewart
   - E-commerce: Michael Tuexen
   - Telephony: Lyndon Ong
   - IP Radio Access Networks (RAN): John Loughney

The consensus of the group was to continue work on the architecture over the mailing list.
