<font size=2 face="Arial">Hi Keith,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">I have earmarked a 2h joint meeting with
SIS-DTN in the agenda of SM&C WG starting at 13:30 of Thu 13Nov. Is
that OK?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Without pre-emptying the discussion, the
MO SM&C Services provide a coherent set of services to monitor and
control *any* remote (controllable) object, not necessarily only as spacecraft.
The operations of these services are defined in an abstract manner (via
the MAL). For a specific deployment, and here I am touching on your question
on "how those parameters are encoded and transported, the abstract
services need to be mapped to a concrete encoding/transport. This is achieved
by a dedicated blue book at the level of MAL.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">The bottom line is that</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">- one can use the MO M&C services to
monitor and control any remote object</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">- one can select the most appropriate encoding/transport
for its deployment of these services.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">I hope the above helps. How do you want to
play the joint meeting? For instance, would you like to send us in advance
a set of questions that you would like to be addressed?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Thanks</font>

have a few hours to discuss network management?</font>

<br><font size=4 face="Calibri">The SIS-DTN working group is about to start
doing some work in the network management for the BP layers of the stack.
Would it be possible for us to get a few hours together with SM&C
to talk about the interaction between the monitor and control services
and what we (think we) need for DTN network management? I’m thinking
just an hour or two for the two WGs to exchange their views of what’s
going on would be really helpful to us.</font>
<br><font size=4 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=4 face="Calibri">From my interpretation of the 522.1-R-3
book, the MO SM&C Services provides a framework for (general-purpose)
monitor and control, which is tailored towards spacecraft. *<b>IF</b>*
I understand correctly, a way for e.g. Bundle Protocol network management
could ‘plug in’ to SM&C with a set of ‘drivers’ for the spacecraft
to monitor / control the various BP parameters of interest according to
the various SM&C services. [Is that a completely broken characterization?]
There’s then a question of how those parameters are encoded and
transported.</font>
<br><font size=4 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=4 face="Calibri">Sometime Thursday (PM?) of the CCSDS meetings
would be best for the SIS-DTN WG, but we’re meeting Thursday and Friday
and if that wouldn’t work, I’ll find some other time.</font>
<br><font size=4 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=4 face="Calibri">I know that Erik and the CSS groups are
interested in talking with you as well, and that would be a good time for
them.</font>
