- Mintes of April 17th, 1990
-
- The IS-IS working group met jointly with ANSI X3S3.3, April 17th and
- 18th, in Tucson Arizona. We considered two main sets of issues: (i)
- Possible technical changes and editorial clarifications to the IETF
- (integrated) IS-IS specification, based on comments received on the
- Internet Draft; (ii) Possible changes to the OSI IS-IS specification
- (for possible inclusion in the U.S. ballot comments on the ISO DP
- ballot).
-
- Based on our discussions, the editor of the IETF IS-IS specification was
- charged with producing an updated draft, which he promised to distribute
- to the IS-IS working group before submission as an RFC. The main
- technical changes include: (i) a generalization of the manner of
- dealing with IP External Reachability Information in level 2 LSPs; (ii)
- Further definition of the Authentication field; (iii) More complete
- definition of the Dijkstra algorithm; and (iv) More complete definition
- of encapsulation and decapsulation. A number of editorial
- clarifications were also proposed.
-
- In addition, our discussion resulted in one addition to the U.S. ballot
- comments on the ISO DP ballot. If accepted, this would allow more
- general treatment of external OSI reachability information, and would
- allow the integrated IS-IS specification to treat IP and OSI external
- reachable address information in the same manner.
