Minutes of the SNA Peer-to-Peer Networking BOF (SNAPPER)

The SNAPPER BOF was held on April 1st in Columbus (Ohio) during the 26th
IETF meeting and was chaired by Wayne Clark.

Agenda


  o Introduction
  o Presentations:
     -  Connection Networks
     -  Data Link Switching
     -  APPN TCP/IP
     -  APPN, DLS and Connection Networks
     -  APPI
  o Discussion


Wayne Clark made all technical presentations and led the discussion.

The suggestion was made that it could be important and interesting to
work on the standard way of transporting APPN over IP. One of the
propositions was the DLS specification which could become the object of
future IETF work.

The issue of coordination of efforts to merge APPN and APPI technologies
was raised.  It was clear from statements of interested parties that
this effort involves not only technical issues but also political ones,
and the IETF would not be able to solve those complicated problems.

A second proposal was that all interested people could work on the
standardization of the Data Link Switching which presents more promising
and realistic targets.  The APPN versus APPI issues should not be
directly addressed by this work but both involved parties should be
present and contribute to the work.  The consensus was that this
proposition could be used to form the Working Group.

Wayne will submit a draft Working Group Charter to the SNAPPER mailing
list for discussion.
