Hello, John:
I just received your email listing the final agenda for the upcoming
meeting. Embarrassingly, I thought someone else within CacheFlow was in
touch with you regarding our participation in this important meeting. As I
turns out, I was wrong.
CacheFlow would very much like to contribute. I see that you still have
slots available in Web REplication and Caching track under "Vendor
Protocols." I would like to suggest that our CTO, Vasu Vasudevan,
participate. Vasu just delivered a presentation at the APRICOT conference
in Singapore this month on a similar subject. He is a distinguished voice
in this field and I'm certain he will offer your audience some new
perspectives.
Thanks in advance for considering our proposal at this late date, John.
Please give me a call and let me know your thoughts.
Regards,
Carol Fall

Description of Working Group:
The purpose of this working group is to define a co-ordinated caching and replication framework for the world wide web.
Replication of web services and caching of http responses are distinct paradigms that to a large degree require distinct solutions. However, it is also important that web caches and replicated services be able to coexist. Ultimately, the working group will define a framework for efficient, reliable, and predictable service in a web which includes both replicas and caches. Part of this framework will be a means by which replicas and caches may be automatically discovered and utilized by clients.
Because of the wide variety of caching and replication solutions which are already in use, the initial task of the group is to familiarize itself with the diversity of existing practice. The group will therefore produce a document which provides a taxonomy of existing caching / replication developments and terminology which would be used as a reference for later work. In parallel with this, existing protocols and standards which are not publicly documented will be submitted to the IESG for publication as informational RFCs by their respective proponents. Once the initial phase is complete, the group will make a recommendation as to whether further protocol work is necessary or desirable, and submit a revised charter for consideration by IESG and IAB.
Goals and Milestones:
Mar 99 First issue of I-D on taxonomy and terminology (Editor: I. Melve) Mar 99 First issue of I-Ds on existing caching / replication protocols Mar 99 Meet at Minneapolis IETF Apr 99 First issue of I-D on design goals / research issues (Editor: J. Touch) Apr 99 Final issues of I-Ds on existing caching / replication protocols Jun 99 Final issue of I-D on taxonomy and terminology Jun 99 Final issue of I-D on design goals / 688 research issues Jul 99 Meet at Oslo IETF Jul 99 Submit I-Ds to IESG for publication as Informational RFCs Jul 99 Revise charter --end
