Sun currently is running a version of RSVP based on the ISI 4.0a4 code for Solaris 2.4 and 2.5, with mrouted 3.8. ISI is currently distributing version 4.0a4 based on ID12 of the RSVP spec. Various tools, plus support for vat and nv are included. Their goal is to have a commercial version of this service in 1997. Intel expects to have about 200 desktops connected to this trial by this fall.
Security is a big issue, especially firewalls.
There is expected to be user and application authentication, in addition to the firewall support. One set of issues concerned major areas of the MIB whose values would be directly available in some implementations but require significant computation in other implementations. It was suggested that at least some of these should be made optional. Those who had read the MIB and had comments agreed to talk with Baker after the meeting. Baker's plan to allow SNMP to create RSVP state was controversial.
