Closed Discussion Topics

Framework Handling of Multicast

There have been several comments on the list about a unicast focus in draft-forces-framework-07.txt. The authors have been asked to revise the framework in order to speak to unicast and multicast protocol solutions to ForCES equally well. After some revisions the Framework has been updated to cover multicast and unicast more completely.

Status: Closed.

CE/FE Closeness
The issue of CE/FE closeness and whether ForCES would focus on "close" scenarios or "very close" scenarios has been discussed on the list and the consensus was around a focus on "very close" scenarios. For more information see the issue summary.

High Availability
draft-ietf-forces-requirements-02.txt contained wording specifying a requirement for support of "high availability." This wording was criticized as too vague and open to interpretation. Section 5 item 7 and section 7 where reworded in draft-ietf-forces-requirements-03.txt to instead mention a requirement for CE redundancy and failover support. For more information see the issue summary.
