Minutes of the Router Requirements Working Group (RREQ)



Summary

The group reviewed the status of our charter and found that with the
publication of RFC 1716, the RREQ Working Group is near completion.
Fred Baker is working on a standards track revision, which includes CIDR
and PPP documentation.  In support of CIDR, it is recommended that RIPv1
(RFC 1058) be moved to Historic status.


Minutes

The Router Requirements Working Group met at the 31st IETF on Monday
evening.  The group reviewed their current status, noting that with the
publication of RFC 1716, the original working group goals had been met.
Frank Kastenholtz was asked to revive Phil Almquist's two monographs,
"Route-Leaking" and "Next-Hop" for publication as FYI RFCs before the
32nd IETF.

Fred Baker touched briefly on his charge from the IESG to update
RFC 1716 to reflect:


   o Section numbers to names on references to RFCs 1122 and 1123
   o CIDR Support
   o Security
   o New Topics
   o Replace RFC 1009


The support for CIDR is really a call to remove all classful,
recommended Internet standards track protocols to Historic.  In this
view, the working group instructs our area director to move RFC 1058 to
Historic status.

The group then moved into the "New Topics" area, where Fred was seeking
direction from the working group and the area director.  The following
list of actions was the result.


   o SNMPv2 and MIBs -- Add references in the New RFC
   o Mention IDPR -- Do not add, per area director
   o Flesh out CIPSO -- Remove text from RFC
   o IPv6 text?  -- Save for next working group
   o Routing System Security?  -- Add references only if protocol
     supports security options
   o Routing Protocol Security?  -- Same as above
   o IPv4 issues -- Add references to RFC 1108
   o Route Caching Issues -- Frank K. and Paul T. will work on this
   o Load Splitting and Fragmentation -- On the list for discussion
   o CIDR detection -- Not for this document
   o Multi-LIS on same media -- Andy M. is working with Fred on this
   o Congestion Control -- Allison M. will provide documents
   o DNS resolver -- Add as comments to documentation
   o LinkLayer Requirements Document -- Not for this group


All of these actions should be resolved before Fred publishes his RFC in
January 95.  The group expects to hold a brief meeting in Danvers and
then to disband.
