Below is a survey on OSI usage in the Internet. Could you take a
moment and fill out this survey? It may look long, but it
should only take a few minutes to fill out. Your answers will
help the people working on OSI in the Internet plan our
next work. Thank you for your help! Please send it in
as soon as possible. We'd like to get all responses back within a
week.
Thank-you,
Susan Hares
IETF NOOP chair
Survey on OSI in Your Network
Purpose for Survey:
The IETF Network OSI Operational Working Group wants to
find out details on OSI use their is in the Internet.
The results of the survey will be published as an FYI document
for the Internet. Any people answering the Survey will be
sent electronic copies of the FYI document on the results of the
survey. As people beginning to use OSI on the Internet, the will be able
to refer to this document to find out who supports the ISO CLNP
layer across the Internet.
Timeframe for Survey:
Please return this survey by February 27th, 1992. Results will be
published as a paper for the NOOP group by March 7th, 1992. Send
responses to skh at merit.edu.
Introduction to the Survey:
Questions 1-6 are for those who route Connection Network Layer Packets (CLNP
ISO 8473) or DECNET Phase 5 traffic on their network. Questions 7-8 are for
those who do not yet route CLNP or DECNET Phase 5.
1.) Do you support the routing of Connection Network Layer Protocol (CLNP (ISO
8473)) packets on your network?
If so,
1.1) What number of routers do you have in your
network? How many of these routers pass
CLNP packets?
1.2) What router vendors do you use in your
network? What router vendors do you use
in the routers that are passing CLNP packets?
1.3) What type of intra-domain routing do you do within your
network? IS-IS? Cisco IGRP based OSI? static?
1.4) What type of inter-domain routing do you do?
Cisco poor-man's Inter-domain routing?
static?
1.5) Would you be interested in the new ISO Inter-Domain
Routing Protocol (IDRP (ISO CD 10747)) when it
becomes available?
1.6) Do you consider the OSI service to be:
Production - guaranteed delivery and
high level of service,
Experimental - guaranteed delivery, but
service not at highest level
Prototype - A first offerings of CLNP which
is limited to a few sites, or
Pilot - For demonstrations and Pilot projects
only?
Please select the category nearest to your service.
You may include other comments to further qualify
this service level.
1.7) If you are running both IP and CLNP,
What do you consider your IP service -
Production, Experimental, Prototype, or
Pilot?
1.8) What amount of traffic do you pass per day,
per week and per month?
2.) Are you now routing DECNET Phase 5 traffic on your system?
If you are routing DECNET Phase 5:
a.) What type of routers are you using?
(manufacturer and model?
b.) How many routers do you have?
c.) What type of hosts are sending traffic?
d.) How many DECNET Phase 5 hosts do you have?
3.) Do you currently attach one or more OSI vendor company to your network?
Do any of these companies send OSI traffic across
the network?
If so,
3.1) How many OSI companies are attached to your
network?
3.2) How many of these OSI companies send
application data regularly?
3.3) What are the companies attached to your network?
3.4) What applications are these companies using?
It would be helpful to list the applications
by company if that is possible.
3.5) Would any of these companies be interested
in "Pilot" projects to try exchanging OSI
applications with those people on the Internet.
4.) Do you support OSI applications at your network site?
If so,
4.1) What applications do you support?
Do you support:
X.500
X.400
FTAM
VT
Xwindows
SQL based applications
CMIP
(please answer yes or no to each applications)
others - please list with company
4.2) For each of the applications you answered yes
to above please indicate:
a.) equipment the application runs on
b.) does it run over CLNP/TP4 stack or
TCP/IP stack
c.) what vendor supplies the software
d.) any comments on how easy it is to use
e.) Is your application based on ISODE?
If so what version of ISODE?
4.3) Are you a part of a Pilot Project or testing
group for this application?
4.4) Would you be willing to be a part of a Pilot
Project or testing group for this application?
4.5) Do you have a set of routers or hosts which
could form a "test bed" at your site?
4.6) Would you be willing to allow this test bed
(either a short term or long term basis)
to join with other test beds at other
networks to test out new software in the
Internet?
4.6) Would you be willing to have a "test bed"
at your site if additional funding for
this was available? Would you be willing
on either a short term or long term basis
to allow
5.) Do you have any of the following network tools
on your routers?
a.) OSI ping (or echo function)
b.) OSI traceroute
c.) OSI table dump
What routers have these functions? How would
you rate the User Interface to these network
tools - poor, fair, good, or excellent?
6.) Do you have any of the following network tools
on your hosts?
a.) OSI ping (or echo function)
b.) OSI traceroute
c.) OSI table dump
What hosts have these functions? How would
you rate the User Interface to these network
tools - poor, fair, good, or excellent?
7.) If you do not support switching CLNP packets today,
a.) Will you need to route DECNET Phase 5
in the future?
b.) Will you route CLNP packets if
you had clients that required OSI service?
c.) Will you route CLNP packets only when
IS-IS was supported on all your routers?
(please indicate what types of routers
you use in your network)
d.) Will you need network tools (that supported an
osi ping, osi traceroute, and osi routing
table dump) to support CLNP in your network?
e.) Will you require both clients and IS-IS supported on
all your routers (b and c above)
f.) Will you require that you have OSI clients, IS-IS on all
your routers, and OSI network tools (b, c and d above)
Please answer yes or no to items a thru e. Additional
comments are also welcome.
8.) If you do not currently use an OSI application at your
site, please answer the following:
8.1) Would you be interested in X.500?
In X.500 over TCP/IP? In X.500
over CLNP?
8.2) Would you be interested in X.400?
in X.400 over TCP/IP? In X.400
over CLNP?
8.3) Would you be interested in FTAM over
ISO Transport Class 4 (TP4) and CLNP?
8.4) Would you be interested in FTAM over
ISO transport Class 0 (TP0) and X.25?
8.5) Would be interested in VT over TP and CLNP?
8.6) Would you be interested in trying out
TCP over CLNP?
8.7) Would you be interested in trying out
X-windows over CLNP?
