Routing Area

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.
