Post Sockets at IETF 102
19 July 2018
/ post-sockets
The Post Sockets cabal met at IETF 102 in Montreal in July 2018. We
gave several presentations to the TAPS working group, to review the
status of the Transport Services Architecture drafts, and also held
a side meeting to discuss next steps.
Tommy Pauly presented the
the TAPS architecture draft, Brian Trammell reviewed
the API, and Anna Brunstrom discussed
the implementation.
The
API has been updated to reorganise the parameters and options, to
clarify the security properties, state machine, and ordering of events,
and to make some updates around sending and receiving of partial
messages.
The
architecture draft has changes around connection racing and the
equivalence of various protocols.
The
implementation is a minor update to align with the other drafts.
We also met following the TAPS working group meeting, to review the
outcomes of the working group meeting and to discuss the parameters
and options that should be made available in the TAPS API. The Post
Sockets cabal are not morning people, especially on the Thursday of
an IETF week, so this was a more subdued meeting than some, but we
made some good progress understanding the parameters and options
needed.
