hi all,



at the last ietf (56th meeting in san francisco) the Distributed/End-Point
Firewall Control BOF (defcon) took place. this bof was motivated by the work
in the distributed firewall area described in the subsequently listed
documents. the bof announcement can be found at:
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf-announce/Current/msg23182.html
