Internet Area Summary
Los Angeles IETF Meeting
4-8 March 1996
DHCP
The DHCP working group had two meetings, one concentrating on DHCP
for IPv4, the other concentrating on IPv6.
For IPv4, the working group reviewed some "small" DHCP I-Ds:
Options process, Option 127 extension, and FQDN. Some editorial
changes are needed then they will be submitted as Proposed Standards.
A high level discussion of a server to server protocol was held. The WG
supports this concept and an Internet Draft is expected. Yakov Rekhter
discussed his DHCP/DNS interaction I-D. There was WG consensus in
support of the I-D. Yakov will make some changes and republish the I-
D. Laird McCulloch presented an authentication/ verification
proposal. He will write it up as an I-D.
For IPv6, Charlie Perkins and Jim Bound presented their new DHCPv6
draft. There was much discussion of the concepts and details. To clarify
some of the concepts behind their protocol, they will develop a "white
paper" explaining the basic model, describing the relationship with
DHCPv4 and showing the use of the protocol in some specific scenarios.
DNSIND
The working group reviewed its current status. It has exceeded its
chartered time limit. It has promised to have all drafts on its charter
finished and submitted to the IESG by 15 April 1996. The WG will not
be allowed to address any new work until these topics are finished. The
working group also discussed and quickly dealt with a number of drafts
(other than IXFR, Notify, and DynUpdate). See the minutes for
additional information. The working group also had a lengthy
discussion on issues pertaining to the interactions of DNS and DHCP. A
brief discussion was also held on possible future work items, with the
proviso that the current work items MUST be finished before any new
DNS work is chartered.
IPATM
Mark Laubach opened the meeting, announcing that he will be stepping
down as chair of the group. Andy Malis will be the new chair, and
acted as co-chair for this meeting. A short ATM Forum report was given
by George Swallow. Andy Malis gave a rolc working group report and
announced that it was decided that there should be a separate server
synchronization document that specified a system which suited rolc
and ipatm needs.
The MARS internet draft had a few minor changes, was revised, and is
awaiting IETF last call. The framework document was revised to
remedy some issues surrounding IPv6. It is expected that this will
continue on track for becoming an Information RFC.
A report on the Classic2 RFC1577 update work was given. The server
synchronization support will be removed from the document. The
remaining work is viewed as just a bug fix to RFC1577. Joel Halpern led
the server synchronization discussion of the classic2 draft. Jim Luciani
gave an update on his server synchronization work. Joel and Jim will be
drafting a combined specification within the next three weeks.
The ipatm MIB work was presented and work is proceeding. A
Multicast Server approach was presented and discussed. An
presentation on extensions to MARS was discussed. A presentation on
Multicast routing over ATM was discussed.
Messageway
The MsgWay WG met on Monday Mar-4. The main subjects that were
discussed were changes to both the EEP and the RRP (End/End and
Router/Router protocols of MsgWay). In addition, early implementors
(MSU and UCLA) gave brief reports about the status of their
implementations. The proposed changes were motivated by this early
implementation work.
PPPEXT
The PPP Extensions working group addressed a number of internet
drafts, agreeing to continue development on them. The working group
has also put out a call for implementations for CHAP, LQM and LCP
Extensions prepatory to those protocols going forward in the standards
track. The working group agreed to put Multilink forward in the
standards track. There were presentations on continuing work for
EAP/RSA for security, the Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol, the
STAC compressor, IPv6, Level2 Forwarding, and additional IPCP work.
Service Location
The Service Location working group held one meeting. Erik Guttman
presented a detailed list of differences between the last two drafts.
These differences were driven by suggestions from the two area
directors in preparation for movement to proposed standard. Harald
Alvestand also corrected the group's understanding of the
standardization of URL schemes. Standardization of the service
location schemes will be handled under the "service:" scheme. The
working group also discussed some items for future work.
