List:
I am putting together a short draft for the next
IETF on the use of XML for MPEG network configuration. This is part of the
extension work of a larger IP Over DVB ESA sponsored study as well as my other
R&D activities.
The poster child right now is address resolution as
this is part of the WG charter, but I can see this approach as being useful
for a larger set of application. Our initial view is to have 3 types of
services:
- a static version based on local configuration
that can be accessed via the web
- a subscriber service
- on demand service
We expect to be able to use the same semantics and
have investigated transport methods based on SIP, SOAP/UDP and SOAP/SIP. I know
we are not probably the only people on the list thinking about this as the above
IP mechanisms for network control are fairly popular right now.
I welcome comments or real life implementations of
this.
Thanks
Marie-Jose
