Below was a msg sent to RRG 2 months ago asking the backers of each
proposal to submit a conceptual summary and an analysis document.
Embarrassingly, I forgot the deadline myself (somehow I wrongly got
Philly IETF as deadline in my mind:(
Thanks to Robin who reminded us about this (see his msg February 19,
2008 7:00:47 AM PST) and was the first one to submit the requested
documents!
We still believe that a summary and an analysis document for each
proposal would be a tremendous help towards systematic comparisons
of various proposals. It is our fault for not reminding the group
about the deadline ahead of time. We'd like to remedy the situation
by extending the submission deadline to March 3, that would leave
one week for people to work on the document, and one week for the
group to review the documents before our Philly meeting.

Hi all,
As we've discussed, RRG aims to converge on a single recommended
solution for a scalable routing and addressing architecture over
the next year. Towards that end, we would like to ask the backers
of the various proposals to prepare some documents to aid in our
comparison and discussions of proposals.
1) Conceptual Summary
This document should summarize the entire proposal at a conceptual
level, and explain the fundamental ideas behind the proposal. It
is important that the document clearly identify whether the
proposal is a complete solution to a scalable routing architecture,
or one function in a complete solution. In the latter case, it
should also identify the other functions of the solution the
proposal depends on, and give a clear description of the interface
to these other functions.
2) Analysis
This document should compare the proposal against the RADIR problem
statement and the design goals draft.
Each of the above two documents should be 4 pages or less,
including all the tables and figures if any, but excluding the
reference list, with font size 11pt or larger, and 1 inch margin on
each side. A proposal may provide a combined document that
encompasses both of these with a total length of 8 pages or less.
Finished documents should be added to the RRG wiki page under
"Proposal Summaries" whenever they are ready, but should be no
later than the Internet draft -00 deadline for Philadelphia, which
is Feb 18., 22:00 UTC, to leave adequate time for discussions
before our next meeting.
Note that this request for documenting the conceptual summary and
analysis is only the first step towards systematic comparisons of
various proposals. Our final design recommendation will need
substantially more work to aid the evaluation process, such as the
performance evaluation and incremental deployment/migration
strategies. We encourage people to start working on these issues
early; they should also be documented in due time.
Regards,
Tony and Lixia
