[Sis-csi] Interest in a call today?

[Scott, Keith L.]

Is there interest in a call today?
 
I could see discussing the Red Book Outline I sent out last week.  One
of the next short-term items for the book is probably Scope (which was
just a placeholder last week but got some attention during the call).
I propose something along the lines of 'specify enough to allow
inter-agency interoperability and cross-support at the IP layer', which
probably translates into
 
    1) the ability to execute and honor SLAs for QoS
    2) handle IP-in-IP encapsulation and/or SLE at ground stations
(some mechanism to get IP packets safely between MOCC and G/S)
    3) probably some reporting / visibility requirements
    4) other?
 
I don't  think we need to be able to spec out the data flows and
mechanisms to the point that AgencyA could essentially run AgencyB's
mission if requested -- does anybody disagree with this?  If nothing
else, there's just too much application-layer stuff that wouldn't work.
So things like specifying whether IPSec ESP or AH is required and how
they're used, provided that they're above IP, isn't our problem.
 
I think we'll need to spec out approaches for each of:
    1) Direct IP connectivity to ground station
    2) Tunneled IP connectivity
    3) IP in SLE tunnel
as mechanisms to get packets from AgencyA's ground station to AgencyB's
"network".
 
Thoughts?
