Minutes of the Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions Working Group (PPPEXT)

Status of work in progress:

Proposed Standards


RFC1331 - PPP             In considering PPP for other HDLC
                          encapsulations such as LAPB and Frame Relay,
                          it became clear that the document does not
                          make the difference between the transport (the
                          protocol in the address and control fields)
                          and the PPP negotiation and data services
                          (everything else).  Bill Simpson will
                          reorganize the document, possibly into two
                          documents, and when we concur on the output we
                          expect to advance this to Draft Standard.  We
                          agreed on one FSM change:  when a code reject
                          occurs, the sender should swallow it EVEN IN
                          THE OPEN STATE.
RFC1332 - IPCP
RFC1333 - LQM             Several tested interoperable implementations
                          of these exist, and we have data supporting
                          that.  Mark Lewis will write an ``Experience
                          Document'' supporting the advancement of these
                          and PPP to Draft Standard.
RFC1334 - Authentication   There is work happening on the
                          [e-mail] list to include a version of
                          CHAP based on recent PEM work, and a Kerberos
                          option.
RFC1220 - Bridging        Rich Bowen of IBM will make a backward
                          compatible update noting experience and adding
                          an IBM SR Bridge BPDU. We will probably want
                          to advance this to Draft Standard when the
                          updates are ready.


The following Internet-Drafts have been advanced:


ppp-requirements-02   Bill to update and submit as an Informational
                    RFC.
pppext-bridgemib-01   ==> Proposed Standard

                                   1





pppext-cipx-02      ==> Proposed Standard
pppext-ipcpmib-01   ==> Proposed Standard
pppext-ipxcp        One sentence change, ==> Proposed Standard.  Bill
                    will change the sentence and post the draft for IESG
                    consideration.
pppext-lcpext-00    Some Updates Required, which Bill Simpson will do.



Other Work in Progress


   o Keith Sklower will revise his load sharing draft (see minutes of
     the joint meetings of IPLPDN and PPPEXT) for further review.  Fred
     Baker is withdrawing his proposal in favor of Keith's.

   o Novell has prototyped the LAPB and Compression proposals, and has
     donated the time of Dave Rand to document their work and turn it
     into an interoperable consensus specification.  Especially in view
     of earlier poor relations between the working group and Novell, we
     welcome this effort and support.  Fred Baker will put the current
     proposal into a form that can be handed off, and Dave will revise
     it as appropriate.

   o AppleTalk Smart Buffering and EDDP are under consideration by Brad
     Parker.  He will post updated documents as he is able to complete
     them.  Brad will also record experience in an updated AppleTalk/PPP
     document.


PPPEXT plans to have one meeting at the Amsterdam IETF, and two joint
meetings with IPLPDN.
