Design Review

Belfast 2019-11 SG4 Minutes

Champion: Alex Christensen

Alex advised us that the paper's authors do not actually want us to adopt this design, it is a starting point for discussion. Due to this, we did not take any poll on adopting the proposed design.

Instead, we had a discussion about possible ways of integrating secure networking into the Networking TS design, and took polls to gauge opinion on each of the various approaches discussed. As these were just to gauge opinion, no call was made on whether these polls represent consensus.

POLL: We should aim to provide a way of performing TLS/DTLS that stacks on top of the Net TS transport layer

SF	F	N	A	SA
2	1	5	3	1

POLL: We should provide additional models of the protocol concept that provide TCP+TLS / UDP+DTLS connectivity, that would coexist with TCP/UDP (e.g. basic_stream_socketip::tls_tcp)

SF	F	N	A	SA
5	5	2	0	0

POLL: We should provide an IETF TAPS-like design for establishing connections

SF	F	N	A	SA
3	4	6	0	0

POLL: We should provide a higher level API for performing internet resource requests (e.g. HTTP)

SF	F	N	A	SA
1	5	7	0	0
