CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by George Clapp/Ameritech
Minutes of the IP over Large Public Data Networks Working Group (IPLPDN)
The IP over Large Public Data Networks (IPLPDN) Working Group met for
seven sessions.
Andy Malis reported that the IAB had some questions with the
Multiprotocol over X.25 document. Fortunately, these questions were
easily answered, and the document should be released as an RFC soon.
(It has since been released as RFC 1356.)
The Group agreed that there was sufficient proof of interoperable
implementations to ask the IAB to advance the RFCs dealing with Frame
Relay to the next step in the standards process. These RFCs are the
following:
1315 Brown, C.; Baker, F.; Carvalho, C. Management Information
Base for Frame Relay DTEs. 1992 April; 19 p.
1294 Bradley, T.; Brown, C.; A. Malis Multiprotocol Interconnect
over Frame Relay. 1992 January; 28 p.
1293 Brown, C. Inverse Address Resolution Protocol. 1992
January; 6 p.
The issue concerning Frame Relay and ATM interworking arose from
discussion within the IP over ATM Working Group. The IPLPDN Working
Group wished to reach consensus over a solution, and they agreed that
the preferred encapsulation and protocol identification scheme was that
specified in RFC 1294 and in CCITT document I.355. I.355 specifies the
encapsulation of Frame Relay over ATM, and RFC 1294 specifies
multiprotocol encapsulation over Frame Relay. The Group agreed to take
this proposal to the IP over ATM Working Group.
Tuesday afternoon was spent on Directed ARP and Shortcut Routing.
Following a presentation on Directed ARP, the Group agreed to release
the document to the IESG and IAB for approval as an RFC on the standards
track. Release of Shortcut Routing was deferred as the authors wished
to do more work and to gain implementation experience.
Multiprotocol over Circuit ISDN was discussed on Wednesday afternoon and
Thursday morning. The anticipated environment is one in which the
signaling protocol cannot be relied upon to inform the ``called'' party
of the type of the encapsulation protocol, and in which Point-to-Point
Protocol (PPP) implementations are expected to be common. The Group
agreed that a Frame Relay encapsulation as specified in RFC 1294 would
be the default encapsulation and outlined a mechanism to differentiate
1
between Frame Relay and PPP implementations. Keith Sklower, Chris
Ranch, and Cliff Frost volunteered to write the Internet Draft. They
also volunteered to draft a document in which the PPP parameter
negotiation protocol is investigated as a means for parameter
negotiation between Frame Relay devices.
Issues for the Next Meeting
o LAPF (Frame Relay) <-> ATM Interworking
o Directed ARP
o Shortcut Routing
o Multiprotocol over Circuit ISDN
o Point-to-Point Parameter Negotiation over Large Public Data
Networks
The Group felt that a total of four sessions over two afternoons would
be adequate to address these topics at the next IETF meeting.
