-
- Minutes of the TCP/UDP over CLNP-addressed Networks Working Group (TUBA)
-
- This session took place on October 28, 1992 in conjunction with INTEROP
-
- Agenda
-
-
- o Introductions
- o Transition Plan and End States
- o Routing and Addressing Plan
- o Protocol Changes:
-
- - TCP/UDP pseudoheader and checksum
- - SMTP/Telnet/FTP
- - DNS
-
- o International Standard Profile for TUBA/CLNP
- o Writing Assignments
-
-
- The Agenda was loosely agreed to and followed. Bill Manning started off
- by asking ``What constitutes a CLNP address for TUBA?'' Possible answers
- included use oft he ISOC-AFI (as proposed by Juha Heinanen), or an
- end-system id that is globally unique and is routable by the IS-IS
- protocol. The consensus was that the latter is preferable, and that a 6
- octet system id plus selector for the ``IP protocol field'' is a TUBA
- address. It was agreed that any arbitrary AFI should be usable as long
- as global uniqueness of the system id is preserved.
-
- The basic outline of the transition plan is that IP will become
- vestigial as an increasing number of hosts start to use TUBA.
-
- A discussion of the routing and addressing plan for CLNP in the internet
- then ensued. Dick desJardins pointed out that RFC 1237 on OSI NSAP
- allocation by Richard, Eva and Ross should be followed. It was agreed
- that current practice in the CLNP world should be followed with respect
- to routing. It was agreed that Sue Hares and Cathy Wittbrodt would
- provide documentation on the CLNP routing schema as a contribution from
- the NOOP Working Group to the TUBA Group.
-
- It was agreed that it would be useful for the transition plan to have a
- standardized value for the first 2 octets of the system id to indicate
- that the next 4 octets are an IP address. It was suggested that we
- request such an encoding from the IEEE. Peter Ford was charged with this
- task.
-
- Denise Heagerty raised the question of whether TUBA is going to support
- CLNP-only hosts, i.e., TCP/UDP over CLNP with no transition plan for
- addressing. These hosts would not have been using IP addresses and
-
- 1
-
-
-
-
-
- therefore would not conform to the 2-octet system id prefix above.
- There was no immediate answer to this but it was agreed this was
- important to work out, since the unique address needs to be provided for
- higher level protocols in TUBA.
-
- Notable quote from Dave Katz: ``That's somewhat orthogonal but
- obviously related''.
-
- Dave Piscitello has an Internet Draft describing the CLNP profile for
- TUBA. This could be submitted to ISO as an International Standard
- Profile for CLNP, but the Group was not sure this would be useful. The
- consensus was that Dave should decide, and Mark Knopper would follow up
- with him.
-
- There are 8 documents completed or in progress for TUBA:
-
-
- 1. DNS extensions, revision of RFC 1348 by Bill Manning and Richard
- Colella (in progress).
-
- 2. Routing Plan from NOOP - Cathy Wittbrodt/Sue Hares (to be
- supplied).
-
- 3. TUBA, a simple proposal for internet addressing and routing by Ross
- Callon, RFC 1347.
-
- 4. Addressing and end-point identification, for use with TUBA,
- Internet Draft by Ross Callon.
-
- 5. IEEE encoding for TUBA NSAPs, by Peter Ford (to be supplied).
-
- 6. CLNP Profile for TUBA, Internet Draft by Dave Piscitello.
-
- 7. IESG deliberations packet, to be generated by Peter Ford and Mark
- Knopper. (Brian Carpenter has provided a significant contribution
- on the mailing list.)
-
- 8. TUNE, Internet Draft by John Curran.
