- Description of Working Group:
-
- The IP over ATM Working Group will focus on the issues involved in
- running internetworking protocols over Asynchronous Transfer Mode
- (ATM) networks. The final goal for the Working Group is to produce
- standards for the TCP/IP protocol suite and recommendations which
- could be used by other internetworking protocol standards (e.g., ISO
- CLNP and IEEE 802.2 Bridging).
-
- The Working Group will initially develop experimental protocols for
- encapsulation, multicasting, addressing, address resolution, call set
- up, and network management to allow the operation of internetwork
- protocols over an ATM network. The Working Group may later submit
- these protocols for standardization.
-
- The Working Group will not develop physical layer standards for ATM.
- These are well covered in other standard groups and do not need to be
- addressed in this Group.
-
- The Working Group will develop models of ATM internetworking
- architectures. This will be used to guide the development of specific IP
- over ATM protocols.
-
- The Working Group will also develop and maintain a list of technical
- unknowns that relate to internetworking over ATM. These will be used
- to direct future work of the Working Group or be submitted to other
- standard or research groups as appropriate.
-
- The Working Group will coordinate its work with other relevant
- standards bodies (e.g., ANSI T1S1.5) to insure that it does not
- duplicate their work and that its work meshes well with other
- activities in this area. The Working Group will select among ATM
- protocol options (e.g., selection of an adaptation layer protocol) and
- make recommendations to the ATM standards bodies regarding the
- requirements for internetworking over ATM where the current ATM
- standards do not meet the needs of internetworking.
-
-
- Goals and Milestones:
-
- Done First Meeting. Establish detailed goals and milestones for Working
- Group.
-
- Done Post an Internet-Draft for a mechanism for IP over ATM.
- (Multi-Protocol Interconnect over ATM AAL5)
-
- Done Submit the Multi-Protocol Interconnect over ATM AAL5 to the IESG as a
- Proposed Standard.
-
- Mar 93 Post Internet-Draft for ``Internet Requirements for ATM Signaling''.
-
- Jul 93 Submit ``Internet Requirements for ATM Signaling'' to the IESG for
- consideration as an Informational Document.
