BTW, I am reading the draft Tiru et al just posted on DPRIVE about this
issue to see if we have any comments.

> 4) I am using my work laptop on the enterprise network, and
using application-X

This could be an internal application or on the Internet.

Enterprises have connections to:

- Internal LAN / WAN clients

- "Cloud" (much as I dislike the term) applications

- Business partners

- The Internet

Companies also (validly, in my opinion) wish to know if their employees are
going to fantasyfootballgame.com while they are supposedly doing work and
of course, other sites which people should not be going to during work
time.  If I am paying someone, I expect them to do work that I wish them to
do.

The cloud example gets quite a bit more complex with some architectures
some companies are proposing where there will be a complicated topology on
premises.   Let me check with the enterprise who told me about this & I
will see if I can post the diagram or an explanation of what is planned.
This is a complex problem.

Thank your for your thoughtful consideration of the issues.  Please let me
know if my explanation makes the requirements any clearer.
