Main Outstanding Framework Work Items

• Functional Partitioning
• Controller redundancy
• Light-weight transport protocol
• ANCP Protocol Security
• Multicast control
• Access Line Configuration

13
Functional Partitioning

• Some limited discussion on mailer
• Initial priority appears to be for hard
  partitioning
• Any more input on this?

14
Controller Redundancy

• Some limited discussion on mailer
• Initial priority appears to be for a dual
  controller redundancy (11)
• Any more input on this?

15
Light-weight transport protocol

• No progress
• Will initiate a discussion on the mailer to find
  out whether there is a scalability issue and to
  define it

16
ANCP Protocol Security

• Progress as presented by Hassnaa

17
Multicast control

• No progress.
• Will initiate a discussion on the mailer

18
Access Line Configuration

• Do we need more detail on this section?
• How will we go about defining configuration
  parameters and extensions ?
