Description of Working Group:
The Router Discovery Working Group is chartered to adopt or develop a
protocol that Internet hosts may use to dynamically discover the
addresses of operational neighboring gateways. The group is expected
to propose its chosen protocol as a standard for gateway discovery in
the Internet.
The work of this group is distinguished from that of the Host
Configuration Working Group in that this group is concerned with the
dynamic tracking of router availability by hosts rather than the
initialization of various pieces of host state (which might include
router addresses) at host-startup time.
Goals and Milestones:
Ongoing Gather implementation and operational experience, revise the
specification to reflect lessons learned, and submit the protocol for
Draft Standard.
Done Created Working Group; established and advertised mailing list.
Initiated email discussion to identify existing and proposed
protocols, for router discovery.
Done Held first meeting in Palo Alto. Reviewed 9 candidate protocols, and
agreed on a hybrid of cisco's GDP and an ICMP extension proposed by
Deering.
Done Held second meeting in Tallahassee. Reviewed the proposed protocol
and discussed a number of open issues.
Done Held third meeting in Pittsburgh. Discussed and resolved several
issues that had been raised by email since the last meeting. Draft
specification of router discovery protocol to be ready by next
meeting. Experimental implementations to be started.
Done Meet in Vancouver. Review draft specification, and determine any
needed revisions. Evaluate results of experimental implementations
and assign responsibility for additional experiments, as required.
Submit the specification for publication as a Proposed Standard
shortly after the meeting.
Done Revise specification as necessary, based on field experience. Ask
the IESG to elevate the protocol to Draft Standard status. Disband.
Internet Drafts:
No Current Internet drafts.
