===================

- Agenda Bashing and Administrivia (10 min)

- FCIP/iFCP Common encapsulation discussion (70 min)
        draft-monia-ips-ifcpenc-00.txt
        draft-weber-fcip-encaps-00.txt

        Also, please see Vi Chau's email to the list on this topic:
                http://ips.pdl.cs.cmu.edu/mail/msg03565.html

        The goal of this discussion is to establish a rough consensus
        on direction for a common encapsulation of FC-2 Fibre Channel
        frames in TCP/IP to be used by both FCIP and iFCP.  A design
        team will be formed to produce an initial proposal in line with
        this direction.

- FCIP (5 min)
        draft-ietf-ips-fcovertcpip-01.txt

        A brief update, as this draft has not been changed since the San
Diego meeting

- FCIP Model (15 min)

        A discussion of formalizing the interface between FCIP and the Fibre
        Channel Fabric, including which Fibre Channel port type(s) are
involved.
        The goal is to crisply separate IETF specification of the FCIP
protocol
        from T11.3 specification of how it is used by a Fibre Channel
Fabric.

- iFCP (25 min)
        draft-ietf-ips-ifcp-00.txt

DESCRIPTION:
