Minutes of the Router Requirements Working Group (RREQ)

The Router Requirements Working Group met on 30 March 1994 for about one
hour.  After introductory and administrative topics were presented, the
working group addressed its three agenda items:


  1. The current Internet-Draft document was adopted and approved for
     publication as an Historic RFC. It was suggested that the document
     be more explicit in recognizing the efforts and contributions of
     the previous chair, Phil Almquist.  With that change, the document
     was approved by the working group for publication.

  2. The working group developed a list of items, in addition to the
     ones presented in the Internet-Draft, which need to be addressed in
     order to bring Router Requirements ``up to date.''  The main items
     brought up during the meeting were:  tunneling, distributed
     routing, multicast, automatic configuration, proxy ARP,
     non-contiguous subnet masks and route leaking.  The exhaustive list
     is in the slides accompanying these minutes.

  3. Volunteers were solicited in order to carry out writing assignments
     on several issues which can be completed in 1994.  Tasks which are
     to be addressed are:

       o Geoff Huston and Robert Elz volunteered to look at Chapters 1,
         2, and 3 (Introduction, Architecture, and Data Link) and make
         suggested revisions.

       o Paul Traina will offer revisions with regard to CIDR, network
         mask guidelines, and subnetworks of all 1s or 0s.

       o Jamshid Mahdavi will offer additional text and changes with
         regard to Source Quench and congestion control.

       o Frank Kastenholz will modify the document to deprecate old
         versions of BGP and EGP. BGP-4 will be required for use.

       o Frank Kastenholz will add text to the document for router
         discovery.

     The working group also made the general recommendation that any
     text that may be considered to be `CIDR-Hostile' should be removed
     from the document.  The editor will undertake this task.


A suggestion was offered that perhaps the best approach to revising the
document would be to simply rewrite it, several chapters at a time, in a
serial fashion.  The working group rejected this on the basis that many
issues were `distributed' in nature throughout the document, and
preferred to address things several topics at a time, rather than
several chapters at a time.
