CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Frank Kastenholz/FTP Software Minutes of the Router Requirements Working Group (RREQ) The Router Requirements Working Group met on 30 March 1994 for about one hour. After introductory and administrative topics were presented, the working group addressed its three agenda items: 1. The current Internet-Draft document was adopted and approved for publication as an Historic RFC. It was suggested that the document be more explicit in recognizing the efforts and contributions of the previous chair, Phil Almquist. With that change, the document was approved by the working group for publication. 2. The working group developed a list of items, in addition to the ones presented in the Internet-Draft, which need to be addressed in order to bring Router Requirements ``up to date.'' The main items brought up during the meeting were: tunneling, distributed routing, multicast, automatic configuration, proxy ARP, non-contiguous subnet masks and route leaking. The exhaustive list is in the slides accompanying these minutes. 3. Volunteers were solicited in order to carry out writing assignments on several issues which can be completed in 1994. Tasks which are to be addressed are: o Geoff Huston and Robert Elz volunteered to look at Chapters 1, 2, and 3 (Introduction, Architecture, and Data Link) and make suggested revisions. o Paul Traina will offer revisions with regard to CIDR, network mask guidelines, and subnetworks of all 1s or 0s. o Jamshid Mahdavi will offer additional text and changes with regard to Source Quench and congestion control. o Frank Kastenholz will modify the document to deprecate old versions of BGP and EGP. BGP-4 will be required for use. o Frank Kastenholz will add text to the document for router discovery. The working group also made the general recommendation that any text that may be considered to be `CIDR-Hostile' should be removed from the document. The editor will undertake this task. A suggestion was offered that perhaps the best approach to revising the document would be to simply rewrite it, several chapters at a time, in a serial fashion. The working group rejected this on the basis that many issues were `distributed' in nature throughout the document, and preferred to address things several topics at a time, rather than several chapters at a time.
