Hmm.... This seems like an awful lot of material. It's a 150 minute session, and you've listed 14 different technologies. It's traditional to leave at least a third of the time for open discussion and so this leaves what, 7 minutes per technology? I'm not sure how useful that would be. My sense is that while there are a lot of different protocols in this space, there are only a few basic architectures. So, hearing about all the protocol details isn't really that illuminating. I would encourage you to focus on high level requirements and architecture rather than having a bunch of presentations on specific technologies. This lets people focus on what's important (the trust/threat model and dataflow) rather than on the bits on the wire--which aren't really that important at this stage of the game. It also avoids having a bunch of presentations which say in essence "my protocol is just like protocol X except that it's written in XML rather than ASN.1". With that in mind, I would suggest something along the following lines: Time Topic ----------------------------------------------- 10 Agenda bash 10 Motivating application 1 10 Motivating application 2 40 Overall requirements/goals 20 Survey of architectural options 10 Example protocol 1 10 Example protocol 2 10 Example protocol 3 30 Discussion (Charter?) -Ekr _______________________________________________ dix mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dix
