CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Fred Baker/Vitalink
PPPEXT Minutes
Point to Point MIB:
Discussion ensued on statistics per protocol, per interface. Is there
duplication of objects, or a breakage of precedent? The general feeling
was that there is need for counts by protocol, precedent or not, and
that only some protocols are duplicated elsewhere. Therefore the MIB
should contain counts by protocol.
AppleTalk:
Frank Slaughter and Steve Senum have differing approaches to Appletalk.
Frank's includes a reduced overhead routing information transfer
protocol. They are to coalesce their documents and put them up to the
list.
Decnet IV:
At first blush, it would appear that Art Harvey and Steve Senum have
dueling documents; however, this appears to be related to several
miscommunications. Art is willing to see Steve's document, given
certain modifications, as the standard. There are a number of problems
with the use of timers in the protocol, resulting primarily from
Digital's assumption that a reliable protocol such as LAPB is in use on
the line. This will cause problems on unreliable links.
A General Note:
Large interest is reported for Point-to-Point Host to Router
implementations over a dial interface. This, according to Vicki Ralls,
is most of the interest cisco has seen in the protocol.
The general feeling toward Art Harvey's proposal for SNAP over
Point-to-Point, is that there is no overriding reason to stop the
document. We should therefore, let it become a standard for generalized
use of the link.
Bridge Protocol
Fred Baker submitted an alternative approach to bridge use of the link.
This was generally considered superior to the approach requested by the
Pittsburg IETF attendees. A document will be published.
