3. What next?
o Progress of specification
o Implementations?
o Testing?
Minutes
Most of the meeting was spent on Agenda Item 1, a page-by-page review of
John's latest spec. We agreed to one significant change: to merge the
separate concepts of the ``SPF cache'' and the ``forwarding cache'', and
to refer to the ``local group cache'' as something other than a
``cache'', perhaps a ``list'' or ``table''. There were also a number of
minor or editorial changes suggested, that John will incorporate in the
next draft.
Under Agenda Item 2, we discussed (again) the alternatives for
inter-area and inter-AS routing. The group agreed to the inter-area
scheme proposed by John, which is based on RPF for identifying entry
routers, but using FPF within an area. The inter-AS approach, however,
remained unclear, pending decisions by the BGP Working Group, which is
considering a number of proposals by Scott Brim. Steve and Scott also
described a couple of proposals for adding some sort of scope limits to
group memberships (orthogonal to the use of TTL for scope of multicast
transmissions); possibilities include a scope subfield within an IP
multicast address, or a separate scope parameter in the Join Group
operation (and in the resulting IGMP message). This remains a topic for
future consideration.

For Agenda Item 3, John agreed to incorporate the suggested changes and
to flesh out the missing sections of the spec, except for those parts
dealing with inter-AS routing, and to make the document available as an
internet draft. Scott and Jeff Honig at Cornell are planning to
implement the OSPF multicast extensions within ``gated'' as time and
resources permit.
