Summary

This meeting covered updates on several working group drafts, including data manifest, attachment circuits, simple IPFIX fixes, UCR model, schedule young model, power management in routers, signatures for YANG, OAM terminology, and GTPU protocol identification. Discussions included normative references, alignment with other drafts, working group adoption, and future directions. The area directors also provided updates and welcomed new leadership.

Key Discussion Points

Data Manifest: Discussion on normative references and alignment with other drafts.
Attachment Circuits: Updates on young doctor reviews and modifications for BGP capability negotiation. Proposal for working group last call after incorporating examples and RTG reviews.
Simple IPFIX Fixes: Updates on working group last call and expert reviews, focusing on TCP and IPv6 session headers.
UCR Model: Dependency on schedule young model and the need for alignment.
Schedule Young Model: Proposal for working group adoption and discussion on placement in NetMod vs. OpsAWG.
Power Management in Routers: Presentation of a new draft on power consumption and control in routers, discussion on granularity and potential for a new working group focused on green networking.
Signatures for YANG: Updates on closing methods and ongoing proof of concept, plan for Hackathon participation.
OAM Terminology: Discussion on consistent terminology for inbound and out-of-band OAM, call for working group adoption after further discussion on the mailing list.
