I did not hear a word not even from the plugfest participants! I did not hear comments on the registry process either. Julo
Cleaning up some issues to prepare for WG Last Call ... On July 24th, I posted the proposed resolution of issues discussed in Yokohama to the list. Having seen no further list discussion, I believe the rough consensus of the IPS WG is to follow the sense of the discussion in Yokohama, specifically: (1) No support for long-lived discovery sessions. (2) Decimal encoding only for binary items whose values always fit in 64 bits. (3) Must accept at least 8k of text in negotiation. (4) No ErrorRecoveryLevel 0.5. MAY try ERL 1 mechanisms after negotiating ERL 0, but MUST be prepared for them to fail. (5) Remove BidiInitialR2T key. (6) Data resegmentation only via a new R-Data SNACK that always sends a new SCSI Response. SNACK tag associates new response with SNACK. On the other hand, since the use of Irrelevant has caused interoperability problems at the plugfest, I don't think the "just put in examples" direction from Yokohama will suffice - I believe this issue to be open. On SRP, based on the proof of primality of the SRP primes and subsequent discussion, I believe the rough consensus of the IPS WG is: - Negotiate SRP_GROUP instead of announcing the prime and generator. - The largest required group is 1536 bits. - The SRP groups/primes will be used up to 2048 bits, the IKE MODP groups/primes will be used for larger sizes. For the latter, computational efficiency issues have been raised for both the SRP groups (prime format) and the IKE MODP groups (generator != 2 for SRP). I believe this situation does not provide a solid reason to change from the default of using the groups that are commonly used with SRP. Paul Koning's objection to the rough consensus on this item is noted. Thanks, --David --------------------------------------------------- David L.
