This is to announce a birds-of-a-feather session at the TCP/IP conference in Montery, March 16-19. Here is the abstract. Birds of a Feather Session TCP/IP Interoperability Conference Tuesday, March 17, 7-9 pm ISSUES IN GATEWAY MONITORING We will discuss current work that is aimed at developing standard monitoring protocols for the Internet. The scope of this standardization is not limited to gateways, but includes other entities operating at the IP layer. There are many issues here: what data to monitor, data representation, how to request specific data, security, and transport protocols. Security and transport protocols have been discussed at some length on the gateway monitoring mailing list (gwmon-request@sh.cs.net) organized by Craig Partridge. This session will primarily focus on the data-related issues mentioned above. The session will start with several 5-minute presentations from people who are working in this area, describing what they are doing and what their needs are. Following the presentations, we will have round-robin discussion until we stop. If you are interested in giving a presentation, please contact Glenn Trewitt, trewitt@amadeus.stanford.edu. (You will have 5 minutes to talk, followed by questions. There should be an overhead projector available, so you can bring along a slide or two. Also feel free to bring along handouts for people to read.)
