Thursday, March 20, 1530-1730
-----------------------------
- Agenda Re-Bashing and Administrivia (5 min)


- DDP (15 min)
        (draft-ietf-rddp-ddp-00.txt)


- RDMAP (15 min)
        (draft-ietf-rddp-rdmap-00.txt)


- TCP mapping (85 min)
        (draft-culley-iwarp-mpa-02.txt)
        (draft-williams-iwarp-ift-01.txt)
        (draft-elzur-iwarp-mpa-tcp-analysis-00.txt)


        Both the Culley (MPA) and Williams (IFT) drafts have changed
        since Atlanta.  The Elzur draft provides some rationale for
        changes to the Culley (MPA) draft - it is for the information
        of WG participants, but will not be "presented" at the meeting.


        The goal of this time is to resolve as much of the open issues
        blocking WG progress in this area as possible.  The WG's ability
        to make progress in this area is likely to be a factor considered
        in the rechartering of the WG that is scheduled to happen this
        month.  Expect to see this time structured to focus attention on
        technical issues rather than a comparison of the drafts.


NOTE: Attendees should also read the following draft as background
        for the meeting, although no agenda time is allocated to it:


        (1) draft-ietf-rddp-rdma-concerns-00.txt
                Describes concerns that rddp work needs to address.
