Subject: [dc] Joint O&M / Routing Area Interim To Discuss Data Center
Network Challenges

The IETF Operations and Routing Areas will hold a two-day joint interim
meeting in late January or early February to discuss networking 
challenges encountered in data centers. A doodle poll has been posted at
http://www.doodle.com/hiu9xgw7tg7pkrwg in order to gauge interest 
and identify a convenient date. While a venue has not yet been chosen,
the IETF is considering sites in the eastern part of the United States 
and Canada. An attendance fee may be charged to cover meeting costs.

Those requesting time on the agenda are asked to submit Internet Drafts
in the following areas:

- New services offered through data centers
- Networking requirements for the data center
- Network architectures for the data center
- Scaling, resiliency, security issues in the data center networks

Internet Drafts considered by this meeting will specify motivation,
requirements and constraints for data center networking solutions 
to be developed by the IETF. Presentations regarding solutions will be
entertained only if that discussion helps to describe the problem 
space and time permits a balanced discussion of candidate technologies.

All drafts presented at this meeting will be announced and discussed on
the IETF Data Center Mailing List ([email protected]). Those submitting 
drafts are asked to announce them to the mailing list upon submission.
