What is TICTOC ? Next generation timing distribution in IETF Timing = frequency and/or time TICTOC-70 2
Recap - the Prague BOF A BOF was held in Prague • problem statement, or "there is an interesting problem" • NTP and 1588 presentations, or "the problem IS solvable" • other SDOs, or "the problem is not being solved elsewhere" • open mike, or "do we want to solve this problem here?". Nearly universal agreement on all four points However, many of those present felt that • more modularization was required • more focus was required • the precise goals of TICTOC were not clear enough Could not achieve agreement as to charter TICTOC-70 3
Recap - since Prague No BOF was held in Chicago • it was felt that insufficient progress had been made • there was concern that there was still not agreement as to goals Mailing list has been active We now have 4 1/2 IDs : • Problem Statement draft-bryant-tictoc-probstat-01 • Modularization Draft draft-stein-tictoc-modules-00 • Framework Draft draft-frost-packet-timing-framework-00 • RAN Synchronization Requirements draft-zhou-tictoc-ran-sync-req-00 4 1/2. 1588 over MPLS draft-ronc-ptp-mpls-00 (submitted to PWE3 WG) TICTOC-70 4
Today's BOF FOCUS ON CHARTER (new version available on unofficial TICTOC web site) In order to understand the charter, we need to understand: • what a 1588 profile is • the relationship between TICTOC and NTP WGs • why AD and TD and master selection is important • the three use cases TICTOC-70 5
Discussion • Are the use cases clear, necessary, and sufficient ? • Are the goals achievable ? • Should TICTOC take on the NG-NTP work ? • When should discovery work be done ? • Is there sufficient support for the new charter ? • How many people intend to actively participate ? TICTOC-70 6
