IP Path Tracing BOF (ippt)

Thursday, December 13 at 1300-1500
==================================

CHAIR: Craig Partridge <[email protected]>

DESCRIPTION:

GOAL:
   Very low cost methods of storing packet trace information in
   routers and other devices along a network path have been recently
   developed.  It is possible, using these technologies, to trace
   individual packets back to their source (see, for instance, Snoeren
   et al, Hash-Based IP Traceback,
   http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2001/p1.html).


   This BOF is focussed on the protocols required to support this
   kind of trace information and whether IETF wishes to standardize
   these kinds of protocols.

AGENDA:

   * Ritual Agenda bashing and passing of the blue sheet
   * Brief presentation of hash-based traceback
   * Protocol requirements to support hash-based traceback
   * Intellectual property issues
   * Discussion of IETF role
