So, in looking over the agenda for the netconf BOF, there was one
requirment that I thought might have been overlooked: the ability
to work over low badwith links (such as a console or serial
interface hooked to a terminal server).
why is an in-band interface different from an oob interface? or should i better ask, in what ways which are significant to configuration do they differ?
Bandwith ? My origianl question (in this thread) was and is do we need to consider/explicity state a requiremnt that this work over low bandwith ? In the DoS scenerio, you may only have a dialup connection to manage/recover the device. You can't do screen repaints or other large data transfers quickly. I think "works over low bandwith connections" should be an explicit requirement for device management. ---George Jones -- to unsubscribe send a message to xmlconf-request@ops.ietf.org with the word 'unsubscribe' in a single line as the message text body. archive: <http://ops.ietf.org/lists/xmlconf/>
