Description of Working Group:
The MBONE Deployment Working Group will be a forum for coordinating the
deployment, engineering, and operation of multicast routing protocols
and procedures in the global Internet. This activity will include, but
not be limited to:
- Deployment of multicast routing in the global Internet.
- Receive regular reports on the current state of the
deployment of mbone technology. Create "practice and
experience" documents that capture the experience of those
who have deployed and are deploying various MBONE
technologies (e.g. PIM, DVMRP, CBT).
- Based on reports and other information, provide feedback to
IDMR.
- Develop mechanisms and procedures to aid in the transition to
native multicast, where appropriate.
- Develop mechanisms and procedures for sharing operational
information to aid in operation of the global MBONE.
- Development of guidelines to improve the use of
administratively scoped multicast addresses.
- Develop mechanisms and procedures for creating and
maintaining a MBONE topology database.
This working group will initially interact closely with IDMR. It is
believed that, once hierarchical multicast routing systems are
specified and deployed, the working groups will diverge somewhat.
Finally, note that in the below 'Goals & Milestones', the type of RFC
will be subject to discussions within the working group.
Goals and Milestones:
Sep 96 Submit Internet-Draft on inter-provider coordination of the
deployment of pruning mrouteds.
Sep 96 Establish initial charter, goals, and long-term group agenda.
Jan 97 Submit Internet-Draft outlining requirements for the existing
MBONE infrastructure.
Apr 97 Submit Internet-Draft specifying the use of administratively
scoped multicast addresses.
Jun 97 Begin work, with RPS WG, on extensions to RPSL to describe
multicast routing policy.
Jun 97 Subnmit Internet-Draft specifying the use of aggregation for
DVMRP (and, in general where applicable). In addition, address
the use of DVMRP default.
Sep 97 Submit Internet-Draft specifying the use of native multicast
where appropriate (e.g. exchange points).
Sep 97 Begin work on document of co-existence strategies for IPv4
multicast and IPv6 multicast.
Dec 97 Begin work on a document describing the deployment of
inter-provider hirearchical multicast routing coordination (or,
when available).
