Jan 2009 Update

After a successful first year where 12 deliverables and 10 milestone reports were delivered from the EFIPSANS project, EFIPSANS moves into its second year which includes:

•  The first meeting of the AFI.  The AFI is the "Autonomic network engineering for the self-managing Future Internet".  This group is an ISG (Industry Specification Group) inside ETSI to suggest European standard in the are of Autonomics.  The first meeting is scheduled for Feb 26th.

• Plans to attempt to investigate possible Internet Drafts in 3 areas In-line Congestion Reporting, IPv6 Extension Dependencies and ICMPv6 extensions (including Hop-By-Hop extension restrictions)
• Project Review is scheduled for March 12th
