- The Open Routing Working Group met for a full day at the recent IETF
- meeting. The previous day, we gave a formal presentation of the
- architecture, which was meant to give the audience a general overview of
- inter-domain policy routing. During the morning ORWG session, we
- continued where the formal presentation left off, delving into the
- details of the architecture as presented in the Internet Draft. In
- particular, we discussed the path setup procedure, the dissemination of
- routing information throughout the Internet, and the methods used to
- reduce the amount of routing information that each router must maintain.
- The information reduction methods include routing at the administrative
- domain (AD) level and leaving the IGP to route within a domain, the
- virtual gateway abstraction, the "super" AD, and the hierarchical
- organization of route servers, where the position in the hierarchy
- indicates the scope of the information it maintains. The one big
- question still open at this point is exactly how we are going to
- represent addresses when there are super ADs, i.e. a hierarchy of ADs.
-
- During the afternoon session, we discussed some of the differences
- between IDPR and BGP, but unfortunately no BGP experts were in
- attendance. We were and still are hoping for critical review of the
- inter-domain policy routing architecture by some BGP experts. In fact,
- anyone with comments on the Internet Draft, please mail them to
- msteenst@bbn.com.
