Inter-Domain Routing (idr) -------------------------- Charter Last Modified: 04-Jun-97 Current Status: Active Working Group Chair(s): Yakov Rekhter <> Susan Hares Routing Area Director(s): Joel Halpern Routing Area Advisor: Joel Halpern Mailing Lists: General Discussion:idr@merit.edu To Subscribe: idr-request@merit.edu Archive: ftp://ftp.merit.edu/mail.archives/idr Description of Working Group: The main list for this working group is bgp@ans.net, but there is also an IDRP-specific mailing list: - List: idrp@merit.edu - To Subscribe: idrp-request@merit.edu - Archive: merit.edu:/pub/archive/idrp The Inter-Domain Routing Working Group is chartered to standardize and promote the Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 (BGP-4) and ISO Inter-Domain Routing Protocol (IDRP) as scalable inter-autonomous system routing protocols capable of supporting policy based routing for TCP/IP internets. The objective is to promote the use of BGP-4 to support IP version 4 (IPv4). IDRP is seen as a protocol that will support IPv4 as well as the next generation of IP (IPv6). The working group will plan a smooth transition between BGP-4 and IDRP. Documents: 1) BGP-4 (standards track) This document contains the specification of the BGP protocol that enables it to be used as a protocol for exchange of ``inter-autonomous system information'' among routers to support forwarding of IPv4 packets across multiple autonomous systems. 2) BGP-4 MIB (standards track) This document contains the MIB definitions for BGP-4. 3) IDRP for IPv4/IPv6 (standards track) This document contains the appropriate adaptations of the IDRP protocol definition that enables it to be used as a protocol for exchange of ``inter-autonomous system information'' among routers to support forwarding of IPv4 or IPv6 packets across multiple autonomous systems. 4) IDRP MIB (standards track) This document contains the MIB definitions for IDRP. 5) BGP/IDRP -- OSPF Interactions (standards track) This document will specify the interactions between BGP/IDRP and OSPF. This document will be based on a combination of the BGP - OSPF interactions, and IDRP - IS-IS interaction documents. 6) BGP/IDRP Usage (standards track) Most of BGP/IDRP Usage document will reference the CIDR (supernetting) RFCs and related Internet-Drafts. IDRP Usage will contain a sample policy configuration language and examples on how to use IDRP in the Internet today. 7) BGP-4 to IDRP v6 Transition (standards track) This document will provide information on how to transition between BGP-4 and IDRP v6 networks. Goals and Milestones: Jun 96 Update IDRP for IPv4/IPv6 Internet-Draft. Jun 96 Submit IDRP for IPV4/IPv6 Internet-Draft to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard. Apr 97 Update IDRP for IPv4/IPv6 MIB Internet-Draft. Apr 97 Submit BGP-4 MIB to IESG for consideration as a Draft Standard. Apr 97 Submit Internet-Draft on BGP-4 to IDRPv6 transition. Jun 97 Submit IDRP for IPv4/IPv6 MIB Internet-Draft to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard.
