- 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.
