Folks: Enrico and I have updated the charter to reflect the caching
discussion we have had on the list over the past few days.
The updated charter is available at
http://alto.tilab.com/docs/charter.txt
We've added the last bullet list -- reproduce here -- based
on the list discussion:
- A discovery mechanism for locating nearby hosts the querying node
may not be aware of. In certain P2P networks, hosts operating caches
may be able to fulfill the node's needs as well as keep the traffic
between peers localized. In VoIP networks, nearby hosts operating
relays may effectively be discovered to aid a VoIP client in
establishing multimedia communications. It is anticipated that
if existing resource discovery mechanisms are sufficient to suit
this purpose, then the WG will produce one or more documents
describing how these discovery mechanisms may be used to
effectively find the peers. The discovery mechanism can be
executed in the clients as well as in the oracle. To allow
clients that prefer the oracle to provide such information, the
WG will produce extensions to the oracle signaling protocol to
enable the peer or client to transfer the desired properties
to the oracle for subsequent lookups.
Comments on it will be welcome.
Thanks,
- vijay
