Network Joint Management (njm)




Charter



Status: Concluded April, 1994 







Chair(s):







 Gene Hastings 







Description of Working Group:



There is a need for many different kinds of efforts to deal with



operational and front-line engineering issues, including helping



disparate organizations work with each other.  This is an attempt to



solidify some of those topics.  This does not make any pretense of being



exhaustive.



 



Area of interest:  Operational issues and developments of the Internet.







Membership:  Operations and engineering personnel from national backbone



and mid-level networks.  Other groups with responsibility for production-



oriented services such as security oriented groups.











Associated technical groups:  Groups which will have an interest in, and



input to, the agenda of this group will include the IAB and its task



forces, and groups within FARNET. In particular, FARNET now has several



technical issues of concern, such as the selection of standard



internetwork services for debugging (like maps and standard SNMP



communities), and the specification of standard network statistics to be



taken (of special concern is the ubiquitous ability to collect those



statistics).







Meeting times:  Members of the group will represent organizations with



production responsiblities.  Most work will be carried on via email or



teleconferencing.
