[rbridge] Agenda items?

[Erik Nordmark]

It is time to start thinking about the agenda for the BoF/WG meeting in
Minneapolis.

Presumably we should go over the charter, but I'd like to also spend time on
technical discussions, which is the subject of this email.

I think there are several technical items that makes sense to discuss, and
I've tried to capture things from memory here. If you had additional items
let me know we can add them (but you might get volunteered :-).
If you need stimulation it might make sense to re-read 
draft-perlman-rbridge,
and see if there are issues that come to mind.

What I'd like for each of these items is to have a volunteer who will 
present
the topic with the issues and the tradeoffs (but no "solutions"), so 
that we
all can try to understand the different issues, and how they might interact.

I'd like to see each topic be presented in advance (so that folks can read
about it) either as a concise email to the list (which we can reference 
using
URLs to the archive) or in the form of a short internet draft.

Here are the topics I have so far:
1. What is the desired semantics of the cloud of hybrids? Just "strict IEEE
    802 bridge equivalence", "IP works", or something in between?

    I'll volunteer myself to lead the discussion on this topic.

2. Threats and security considerations
    What should the goal be? What can we do better?

    Does anybody who brought this up on the list want to volunteer?

3. Requirements on routing protocols
     For zero configuration
     Carrying MAC addresses
     Broadcast
     IS-IS vs. OSPF vs. something else

    Volunteer? I can dig out the discussion I had with Bob Hinden if
    that would stimulate someone to want to discuss this.

4. Connecting different L2 types (with different L2 address formats)

    I think I've convinced Radia to lead this one

5. Choices for ARP/ND

    We had some discussion on the list about this and how it relates to
    intentionally duplicate L2 addresses, mobility, etc.

    Any volunteers?

6. Choices for broadcast/multicast

    Any volunteers?

What am I missing?
