The purpose of this BOF is to address spatial location information, exchange, and utilization for IP devices. The objective is to let IP-addressable devices and applications be able to exchange the spatial location data of themselves and other parties when allowed.
Security is a fundamental requirement for many situations of the data exchanges and services.
It must be considered from beginning, as part of the objective. This BOF will define the requirements for solving the problem. The device may be the host which is addressable by IP or an element within the host. In addition, an IP device can be a physically static or moving IP device. The spatial location is the physical spatial location of an IP device.
