CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Martha Steenstrup/BBN
IDPR Minutes
The Inter-Domain Policy Routing Working Group (formerly the Open Routing
Working Group) met for three of the five days during the December IETF
meeting in Boulder. IDPR Working Group meetings were organized into two
sections: a full-day tutorial and two days of discussions of future
work.
The purpose of the tutorial was to provide an overview of the IDPR work
for those people new to the Working Group and to update present Working
Group members on the current state of affairs. Tutorial material
covered the IDPR architecture, protocols, prototype implementation, and
progress on network experiments.
The future work discussions centered around two distinct areas: what is
needed for IDPR to become an Internet standard and what research topics
should we pursue beyond IDPR Version 1. The most controversial of the
standard-related issues was addressing: should we introduce a standard
with our own addressing scheme or should we wait for the Internet
community to resolve the current Internet addressing problems?
The research areas proposed included but were not limited to the
following:
1. Develop good heuristics to increase the efficiency of route
generation;
2. Explore multicast and multipath routing mechanisms for
incorporation into IDPR;
3. Determine the best ways to use the distributed, hierarchical
database of IDPR connectivity and policy information;
4. Expand policy-based routing to the more general area of
policy-based resource allocation, including resource reservation
and flow control.
We are now trying to determine which topics need the most attention and
who will work on them. Anyone interested in learning more about IDPR
should subscribe to the IDPR mailing list idpr-wg@bbn.com.
