RE: [Syslog-sec] IETF 60 Meeting and WG Mailing List

["Anton Okmianski" <aokmians@cisco.com>]

Here is my update on syslog-transport.

After posting the last draft, I have not received any substantive
comments. But I had quite a few on the pre-draft version.  Seems like
the draft satisfied all the concerns raised against the earlier
versions.  

Rainer & I talked about his concerns with doing fragmentation the way
we do it now in transport. He would prefer to do it using structured
content within syslog message like the earlier proposals or some other
scheme that pushes the re-assembly on the log processor (analyzer)
instead of every party in transmission (potentially including syslog
relays). 

I am not sure we reached complete consensus yet. But I think, with
fragmentation being optional now (only required for messages over
certain size), both approaches can co-exist. People can use structured
content as they please and break messages, or they could use a syslog
transport implementation which supports fragmentation.  Or just use
small messages and forget about all of this.  

Other than this, the syslog-transport draft is ready to go.

Thanks,
Anton.
