Creation of nettest mailing list

["Romascanu, Dan \(Dan\)" <dromasca@avaya.com>]

This is an announcement for the creation of the NETTEST mail list

 nettest@ietf.org

General information about the mailing list is at:

  https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nettest

Craig Brown (crbrown@cisco.com) is the administrator of the list. 

The purpose of the list is to open the discussions for proposing a new
specification for the development of a protocol for the management of
network test devices in the areas of data, voice, video, security, and
storage. 

The end goal is to submit an I-D and discuss a request for a BOF. 

In preparation we will discuss:

. The NETTEST charter - "the development a protocol for the management
of network test devices in the areas of data, voice, video, security,
and storage"

. The goals of NETTEST

. Some of the discussions to develop the I-D will include:

	. Experiences already learnt from the current API specifications
	. Review existing standards to understand what fits
	. Outline the NETTEST protocol layer that the technologies will
use
	. The method of managing data structures

The expectation is to not come to a final decision of all technology
specifics prior to the BoF, but to instead have detailed explanations
and group understanding of the NETTEST objectives and technology
overview.
