North American Network Operators Group Date Prev | Date Next | Date Index | Thread Index | Author Index | Historical IETF draft on Operator Requirements of Network Management Tools
The IETF Operations and Management area held an interim meeting in
Phoenix in conjunction with the last NANOG. It was called to
address the gulf which has grown between the operator community and
the management tools development community. There are clearly
un-met needs for network management tools, and tools which haven't
found use in operational networks. Randy and Bert want to get the
two groups talking again so the management tools folks' time won't
be wasted and the operators will get tools they can use.
Suzanne Woolf and I have been tasked with producing a draft to
document operator requirements of infrastructure management methods.
We need to describe the tools, methods, and practices which
operators need the management software community to support, in as
unambiguous a fashion as possible.
There's an email list for discussing the requirements, which you can
subscribe to in the usual manner at:
[email protected]
and there's an email address to which specific suggested
requirements can be sent, which Suzanne and I will try to
incorporate into the document. Please write up exactly what you're
thinking, with clear examples, if possible, and as much detail as
you think is necessary, and send them to:
[email protected]
As likely requirements are submitted, Suzanne and I will
summarize them back to the ops-nm list for discussion. If you need
to contact us privately we can be reached at:
