Re: [rddp] STORM proposed charter - 31 May 2009 version

David,

I was not proposing to extend it beyond IP based protocols.

Specifically I am trying to ensure that new spec can support

TCP/MPA and SCTP. Other protocols that are not IP based

or not even Ethernet based, in my view, are outside the scope of IETF.

 

In essense, it is RDMA connection setup on top of message

based protocol. So It be done on top of TCP/MPA, or SCTP or

maybe some other message based protocols that use IP.

Thanks,

Arkady

Arkady,

 

I'll beef up the bullet, but probably not with that

degree of specifics.  Thanks for pointing this out,

and I apologize for the delay in responding.

Thanks,

David,

The description of RDDP MPA bullet is too narrow.

(5) RDDP MPA: Good support for MPI applications requires a small

update to MPA startup functionality to allow either end

of the connection to initiate.

This bullet should also cover ORD/IRD negotiation as part of

connection setup. Also current RDDP connection setup is part of MPA

spec which is primarily for TCP stream markers. This bullet should provide

RDDP connection setup for both TCP and SCTP and for any message based

protocol.

How about:

(5) RDDP Connection Setup: Good support for MPI applications requires a small

update to MPA startup functionality to allow either end

of the connection to initiate. Add RDMA Read credits to RDDP Connection

        Setup. Make RDDP connection setup to be applicable for any message based

        protocols, including but not limited to TCP with MPA markers and SCTP.

I hope it is not too late to beef up this bullet.

Thanks,

Arkady

What I believe is the final draft of the proposed charter
for the STORM WG is attached; I've done a bunch of editing
and added the info about T10 and T11 doc access.  This is
about to go out for wider review.

Also, a reminder that STORM discussion will stop cc:'ing
other mailing lists soon.  If you're interested in STORM
work, please subscribe to the storm@xxxxxxxx mailing list:
https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/storm

Finally - this is a near-final reminder that the rddp@xxxxxxxx
mailing list will be closing soon - all discussion of RDDP
protocols will move to the storm@xxxxxxxx mailing list.

Thanks,
--David
