ASAP Handle Resolution Option

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Dear all,

What about the draft draft-dreibholz-rserpool-asap-hropt-03
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dreibholz-rserpool-asap-hropt-03) on
the ASAP Handle Resolution option to specify the requested number of PE
entries to be selected? I think this is a quite useful extension and
should also be moved forward.

In our deployed RSerPool pool for SimProcTC, we do not need the PU-side
handle resolution cache. Therefore, on a handle resolution, the ENRP
server should exactly select one PE entry for the SimProcTC PU. ASAP as
defined in RFC 5352 lacks of the possibility to specify this. The handle
resolution option allows the PU to exactly tell this information to the
ENRP server. So, the ENRP  server can exactly select the one PE entry
for our SimProcPC PU -- while it can provide more entries to PUs
actually making use of the PU-side cache. I see a clear need for
standardization of such an option, since its functionality is IMHO
mandatory for efficient handle resolution.
