Minutes of the IP 1394 WG:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The goals of this meeting were centered around completing IP unicast.
Toward this goal the agenda was to continue with the
discussion in progress on the reflector.

At the top of the discussion list was link fragmentation. The only
contentious issue left is the presence, or lack of, a the length of
the link fragment in the link fragment header. For implementing link
fragmentation over isoch services on some link chips that don't pass
length, we need this field in the parameter. No decisive result, but the
next step is to determine how pervasive this problem is today and how
long it will likely be present over time.  Dirk Brandewie is going to
accumulate information then post the results back to the list.

Next topic was the election of the IP manager to allocate and
distribute a channel number needed to transfer IP broadcast and ARP
packets. Peter Johansson and Dirk worked together prior to the meeting
to modify an earlier proposal. The group agreed to move forward with the
proposal.

Once we have link fragment header and IP manager election process
defined, IP unicast will be complete. A draft with this information is
expected in early Jan. Next steps are IP multicast and Integrated
Services.
