CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Russ Hobby/UC Davis
MINUTES
The PPP WG met on October 31 and November 1 at the IETF meeting at the
University of Hawaii. This was the last meeting of the working group,
however, further work on PPP will be done by a new working group to
define extensions to PPP such as new options and the use of other
protocols on PPP.
During video conferences following the Stanford meeting the PPP document
was split into two separate documents. The first is a base PPP document
describing the packet encapsulation and the process for control and
option negotiation for the link and IP, but does not describe the
options themselves.
The second document describes the options for the Link Control Protocol
(LCP) and the IP Control Protocol (IPCP). This document also describes a
simple authentication method that can be used when bringing up the link
and a means of doing link quality monitoring (formally keep-alives) of
the link during operation.
Final editing of the first document was done and it was submitted for
review as an RFC. The working group reviewed the second document to
clear up any technical details but put most the emphasis on the method
of Link Quality Monitoring (LQM). The details of (LQM) where discussed
and agreed upon and would be written into the second document after the
meeting. Both the base document as it was submitted to be an RFC and
the second document are being submitted as Internet Drafts for public
review.
Areas in need of further work are:
1. Stronger Authentication Protocols
2. Definition of encryption methods
3. Definition of the use of other high level protocols
As a beginning of the new extensions WG, members volunteered to write
definitions for the use of bridging, DECNET (Phase IV and V), and XNS
over PPP.
