usergroup: First draft of the IMMAP protocol#2
Conversation
Aggregated infrastructure metrics collected through a masked sequential aggregation protocol ensuring participant confidentiality.

| ## Purpose | ||
|
|
||
| The Infrastructure Metrics Masked Aggregation Protocol (IMMAP) allows multiple companies to contribute infrastructure-scale metrics into a shared aggregate without disclosing individual values to the poll organizer or to other participants. |

Little detail, but having a protocol with a name close to another protocol is a bit tricky:
- I want to test IMMAP
- You mean, connect to an email server?
- No, IMMAP
- What?

Hmmmm, not sure this is enough for GPUs... Let's say VRAM also?

Number of racks would possibly be a better indicator of footprint

Racks very in RU height. A rack footprint can be misleading, especially if there are dual node servers per RU.

Probably out of the scope of this one ;)

| However, IMMAP intentionally prioritizes operational simplicity over cryptographic sophistication. |

It may be just me, but mentioning that seems very over engineered. I know it says explicitly why this not in IMMAP, but still, it looks like a bit too much and this document could benefit a little bit from some simplification.

Does the group think that NVME need to be called out as its own line item?

Does it really matter what the read/write ratio use is? I would suggest this be changed to SSD total capacity.

Are there other components to add to this list:
- NICs
- Accelerators (ex: QAT)
- PSU level (Gold, Silver, Platinum)
- Optics
- Cabling (Fiber, copper)

This is a draft proposal.
