Minutes of the IP over HIPPI BOF

Reported by Andy Nicholson/Cray Research, Inc.

The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the draft of IP over HIPPI
by John Renwick and Andy Nicholson, currently available as an internet
draft, draft-renwick-hippilan-01.txt.

The meeting was well attended, including some of the members of the
ANSI X3T9.3 working group on HIPPI.  There was general agreement that
current document is very close to being ready to be promoted as a
proposed standard.

There was one point of contention, whether it is reasonable to require
that IP over HIPPI use the HIPPI LE frame header rather than simply
using another HIPPI FP ULP id.  There was general agreement that the
interoperability made possible by using LE and 802 format headers was
worth the minor extra cost of the headers.

There were some other suggestions which will be incorporated into
another draft which will be distributed in the first week of April.

- The scope should be more clearly stated

- Relax the requirement that a destination be able to buffer 68 bursts
  before accepting a connection.

- Don't require that a host know its 48 bit ULA.

- Check the ARP optimization strategy against standards and don't
  require any optimizations which could propagate incorrect
  information.

- More clearly state the ARP example.

- Discuss switch address bootstrap issues against possible changes in
  HIPPI LE or HIPPI SC.

- More discussion of what the HIPPI standards are for people who have
  not read them.

- Update the HIPPI standards references to their latest numbering.

After this draft goes out for review, if there are no substantive
changes or comments on the mailing list we will offer it to the IESG
and the IAB as a proposed standard.  However, if there is still
important discussion, we will hold a working group meeting at the
Boston IETF.
