- Area Summary reported by Bob Hinden/Sun
-
- Routing continued to be an active area at the San Diego IETF meeting.
- Six Routing working groups met and there were three routing related
- BOF's. Their reports are as follows:
-
- Border Gateway Protocol Working Group (BGP)
-
- The Working Group reviewed the BGP-OSPF and BGP-ISIS interactions
- documents. The other main activity was discussing extensions to BGP3 to
- accommodate the CIDR work. This will result in BGP Version 4.
-
- IP Over Large Public Data Networks Working Group (IPLPDN)
-
- The IPLPDN Group completed work on the IP over X.25 Specification. Andy
- Malis presented the proposal to the IETF plenary. The Working Group
- plans to submit this for proposed standard.
-
- The Group discussed the text of a draft document for IP over Circuit
- ISDN. No final consensus was reached but work will continue on this
- topic.
-
- A draft document was presented on Frame Relay Parameter Negotiation.
- There was agreement to make this similar to the PPP parameter
- negotiation. Work on this will continue.
-
- A proposal for Shortcut Routing was made by Paul Tsuchiya. Several
- issues were uncovered and Paul agreed to revise his proposal for the
- next meeting.
-
- IP Routing for Wireless/Mobile Hosts BOF (MOBLHOST)
-
- The Group met and reviewed the proposed charter. A permanent Working
- Group will be formed. Presentations were made by John Ioannidis on the
- Columbia University Mobile Host Protocol and by Karl Auerbach on his
- thoughts on alternative approaches. Additions to the Dynamic Host
- Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to support mobile hosts was also
- discussed.
-
- A detailed review of the Columbia Specification was completed. This is
- intended to be published as an Internet Draft.

- Multicast Extensions to OSPF Working Group (MOSPF)
-
- The Group discussed several suggestions for simplifications of the
- protocol based on the Proteon implementation experience. Several
- clarifications were made to the multicast specification including
- implementations suggestions and examples. The Working Group plans to
- submit MOSPF for Proposed Standard.
-
- Open Shortest Path First IGP Working Group (OSPF)
-
- The Working Group discussed changes to the OSPF V2 documents to handle
- specific virtual link configuration problems and MIB variable changes.
- They are close to completing an OSPF Trap MIB and a description of the
- Not So Stubby Area (NSSA) option. Also discussed were approaches to
- carry BGP attributes and how to run OSPF over Frame Relay.
-
- RIP Version II Working Group (RIPV2)
-
- The newly formed RIP Working Group finalized new field formats for RIP
- V2 using the MBZ fields in the RIP header. This version of the protocol
- will include extendible authentication support. RIP V2 should be
- backward compatible with RIP V1.
-
- The Working Group plans to publish an Internet Draft of the RIP V2
- specification in the near future. A first draft of a RIP V2 MIB was
- distributed.
