Description of Working Group:
This working group will extend the OSPF routing protocol so that it
will be able to efficiently route IP multicast packets. This will
produce a new (multicast) version of the OSPF protocol, which will be
as compatible as possible with the present version (packet formats and
most of the algorithms will hopefully remain unaltered).
Goals and Milestones:
Done Review outline of proposed changes to OSPF. Identify any
unresolved issues and, if possible, resolve them.
Done Become familiar with the IGMP protocol as documented in RFC
1112. Survey existing work on multicast routing, in
particular, Steve Deering's paper ``Multicast Routing in
Internetworks and Extended LANs''. Identify areas where OSPF
must be extended to support multicast routing. Identify
possible points of contention.
Done The group should have a draft specification. Discuss the
specification and make any necessary changes. Discuss
implementation methods, using as an example, the existing BSD
OSPF code, written by Rob Coltun of the University of Maryland.
Done Report on implementations of the new multicast OSPF. Fix any
problems in the specification that were found by the
implementations.
Done Submit the MOSPF Specification to the IESG as a Proposed
Standard.
Jun 96 Update MOSPF to reflect current usage, document
interoperability between implementations, and submit to the
IESG for consideration as a Draft Standard.
Dec 96 Submit MOSPF to IESG for consideration as a Standard.
Dec 96 Document interoperability between MOSPF and DVMRP, and submit
as an Informational RFC.
Internet-Drafts:
No Current Internet-Drafts.
