-
- The Inter-Domain Policy Routing Working Group (formerly the Open Routing
- Working Group) met for three of the five days during the December IETF
- meeting in Boulder. IDPR Working Group meetings were organized into two
- sections: a full-day tutorial and two days of discussions of future
- work.
-
- The purpose of the tutorial was to provide an overview of the IDPR work
- for those people new to the Working Group and to update present Working
- Group members on the current state of affairs. Tutorial material
- covered the IDPR architecture, protocols, prototype implementation, and
- progress on network experiments.
-
- The future work discussions centered around two distinct areas: what is
- needed for IDPR to become an Internet standard and what research topics
- should we pursue beyond IDPR Version 1. The most controversial of the
- standard-related issues was addressing: should we introduce a standard
- with our own addressing scheme or should we wait for the Internet
- community to resolve the current Internet addressing problems?
-
- The research areas proposed included but were not limited to the
- following:
-
-
- 1. Develop good heuristics to increase the efficiency of route
- generation;
- 2. Explore multicast and multipath routing mechanisms for
- incorporation into IDPR;
- 3. Determine the best ways to use the distributed, hierarchical
- database of IDPR connectivity and policy information;
- 4. Expand policy-based routing to the more general area of
- policy-based resource allocation, including resource reservation
- and flow control.
-
-
- We are now trying to determine which topics need the most attention and
- who will work on them. Anyone interested in learning more about IDPR
- should subscribe to the IDPR mailing list idpr-wg@bbn.com.
