Description of Working Group:
This Working Group will extend the OSPF routing protocol so that it
will be able to efficiently route IP multicast packets. This will
produce a new (multicast) version of the OSPF protocol, which will be
as compatible as possible with the present version (packet formats and
most of the algorithms will hopefully remain unaltered).
Goals and Milestones:
Done Become familiar with the IGMP protocol as documented in RFC 1112.
Survey existing work on multicast routing, in particular, Steve
Deering's paper ``Multicast Routing in Internetworks and Extended
LANs''. Identify areas where OSPF must be extended to support
multicast routing. Identify possible points of contention.
Done Review outline of proposed changes to OSPF. Identify any unresolved
issues and, if possible, resolve them.
Done We should have a draft specification. Discuss the specification and
make any necessary changes. Discuss implementation methods, using as
an example, the existing BSD OSPF code, written by Rob Coltun of the
University of Maryland.
Done Report on implementations of the new multicast OSPF. Fix any
problems in the specification that were found by the implementations.
Feb 92 Submit the MOSPF Specification to the IESG as a Proposed Standard.
