Subject: DLSw Interests of Siemens Nixdorf

To whom it may concern:

I hope this goes to the correct address - it being my entry into this
illustrious circle. I also want to apologize for being so late with this
contribution.

Please add the following in the DLSw Matrix under Siem (which in this
case means Siemens Nixdorf):

=========+====+
	 |Siem| Our basic approach would be "KEEP IT SIMPLE"
=========+====+
flow ctrl| x  | Given that SDLC cons. will be multiplexed over a TCP con.,
=========+====+    device specific flow control should be provided
NT 2.1   | x  | Customers want it
=========+====+
Ethernet | x  | Ditto
=========+====+
priority |    | Any need other than separating data streams in general ?
=========+====+
COS      |    |
=========+====+
cap exch |    | Sounds good in principle, but wouldn't that be covered by
=========+====+    XID3 (-> NT 2.1) ?
conform  |    | If at all, should be provided by independent agency
=========+====+
SDLC     |    |
=========+====+
channel  |    |
=========+====+
TG       |    |
=========+====+
directory| x  | Looks like basically needed functionality
=========+====+
transport| x  | ISO protocols might also be interesting
=========+====+
security |    | Should be provided at higher levels
=========+====+
NN integ |    | Keep it simple !
=========+====+
MIB      | x  | Basic necessity these days !
=========+====+

Again, apologies for being so late.

Best regards
Bob Nowak
