-
- The Multi-Media Bridge Working Group met twice at the Boulder IETF. The
- first meeting was spent reviewing the Charter which was subsequently
- approved and published.
-
- The second meeting was spent reviewing the Multi-Media Bridge Technology
- and its impact on the TCP/IP architecture. A general review of the
- bridging standard (IEEE document 802.1d) was made and the following
- issues were raised to be addressed by the Working Group:
-
-
- o Differing MTU sizes among different media types.
- o Differing Bit/Byte ordering problems - especially with respect to
- datalink addresses.
-
-
- The group then reviewed the following RFC's;
-
-
- o RFC 1042 (IP over 802 Networks)
- o RFC 1188 (IP over FDDI)
- o RFC 1191 (Path MTU Discovery)
-
-
- It was felt that these documents have laid the foundation for the future
- work of the group. At the next meeting the group will begin to address
- an appropriate strategy for 802.5 networks.
