MINUTESPage 2/3T ITLE / REFERENCEMinutes of the 27th TF-Mobility & Network MiddlewareMeeting3. Work items updates – All work items (WI) leaders3a. Standardisation ProcessStefan Winter, RESTINA, presented on the areas of relevance and the current progress in thestandardisation of technologies that impact the task force. The slides are available at:http://www.terena.org/activities/tf-mobility/meetings/27/standardisation.pdfStefan summarised the current and future IETF documents in queue. There has been a requestthat an IETF informational document be created on “The eduroam architecture for WiFiroaming” which will summarise the technologies used and specifics of the implementation.“Update to the EAP Applicability Statement” - editorship has changed from Stefan to a Ciscoemployee and the focus has moved from purely RADIUS to support the ABFAB work.3b. Support for the development of the next generation eduroamStefan Winter, RESTINA, continued and covered areas of future development. The slides areavailable at: http://www.terena.org/activities/tf-mobility/meetings/27/nextgen.pdfEAP-PWD has been implemented in WPA_Supplicant and available for testing againstFreeRADIUS. Currently suffers from a “Sudden Death” problem as a client will stopcommunication with an invalid server and the connection is left to timeout rather than anAccess-Reject. This has been fed back to the author and an amendment will be considered forsending communication from the client to trigger an Access-Reject from the server.For all there will be a presentation of the eduroam Configuration Assistance Tool at TNC2012.3c. Metering and monitoringStefan Winter, RESTINA presented an update from Miro’s metering and monitoring work item.Slides available at: http://www.terena.org/activities/tf-mobility/meetings/27/metering.pdfThe GN3 monitoring database has been opened to a wider audience and receives updates fromAustralian and New Zealand on service locations. The lone access point in South America is inFrench Guyana and contributed by RENATER and not via Latin American participants.Use of F-Ticks http://monitor.eduroam.org/f-ticks/ is encouraged for those that haven’tadopted its use for monitoring.3d. Support for eduroam world-wideBrook Schofield, TERENA provided an update on eduroam world-wide including expandingefforts on world-wide deployment of eduroam and the Global eduroam Governance Committee(GeGC).Currently there are 54 recognised eduroam deployment countries: 43 countries from the GN3eduroam Confederation (31 GN3 members which represents 36 countries, 3 of 4 associatemembers and 4 additional countries) and 11 countries from 4 other continental regions.There are 3 active efforts to further the deployment of eduroam:• ELCIRA – Project proposal to support the deployment of eduroam in Latin America• UbuntuNet – Interest in supporting eduroam in Sub-Saharan Africa• APAN – Deployment at APAN conferences and encouraging adoption

MINUTESPage 3/3T ITLE / REFERENCEMinutes of the 27th TF-Mobility & Network MiddlewareMeetingThe TERENA Secretariat, TERENA Members (RedIRIS, GARR, SURFnet, DFN) and the GN3eduroam Service Activity are participants in various ways with these initiatives.Chris Phillips, CANARIE asked about monitoring probes to actively exercise eduroamconnections rather than rely on passive monitoring via user authentication attempts. Stefanreferred to the eduroam in a plug (ERIAP) https://www.terena.org/mailarchives/mobility/msg03277.html,the follow-up work by Hideaki Sonehttps://www.terena.org/mail-archives/mobility/msg03279.html and the AMeN work of SURFnetthat is continuing to evolve. The most public version was the eduroam on the busses atTNC2009 in Malaga. Stefan cautioned that sufficient bandwidth (via 3G/LTE) is required orusers will complain about the service. Chris endeavoured to follow-up on these initiatives andmake contact via the GeGC and at TNC2012.3e. Sensor and mesh networkingKurt Bauman, SWITCH provided an update on the work of A4Mesh Project https://a4-mesh.unibe.ch/ which uses multi-hop network layer for the transmission of AAAA data.Brook questioned whether the sensors used WiFi or another wireless mechanism and whetherMQTT was used for the transmission of sensor data. Kurt could confirm the use of WiFi butdidn’t know of the particulars. Brook referred the audience to http://mqtt.org/ and thepresentation by Andy Stanford-Clark http://www.slideshare.net/andysc/the-house-that-twitterson his use of sensor networking and messaging.3f.
