Editor's note: These minutes have not been edited. CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Gary Malkin/Bay Networks, Inc. Minutes of the RIP Working Group (RIP) Status Update Chairpersons Gary Scott Malkin / gmalkin@baynetworks.com Mailing List ietf-rip(-request)@baynetworks.com Archives ftp://xylogics.com/pub/users/gmalkin/rip/rip-arc Date of meeting San Jose IETF / December 10, 1996 Progress Reviewed status of current documents. Approved RIP-2 documents for submission to IESG for consideration as full Standards. Agenda 1 - Review Current Documents' status 2 - Review Charter 3 - Discussion of RIP-2 protocol specification 4 - Any other issues The Triggered RIP Internet Drafts and the RIPng Internet Draft have been approved by the IESG for publication as Proposed Standards and are awaiting action by the RFC editor. The group is happy with the RIP-2 Internet Draft. The only suggestion was to insert a line of text which indicates that unicast packets should be sent on NBMA networks instead of multicast. This change parallels a similar change to OSPF. The chair requested implementation information. While there are certainly sufficient implementations and operational experience of the protocol, some questions remain over the various MIB objects. Once the implementors have provided the information, all of the RIP-2 documents will be submitted to the IESG for consideration as full Standards. After the IESG approved the Cryptographic Authentication Internet Draft and submitted it to the RFC Editor, a problem was found. The resolution requires the insertion of a single sentdence which basically states that sequence numbers should be time based and never zero. Fred Baker will make this change and re-submit the document to the IESG for a quick re-approval. Some modifications need to be made to the charter. More specifically, the milestones need to be updated as follows: Replace APR95 bullet with: Done Submit Triggered RIP documents for consideration as Proposed Standards May95 bullet: Done Jul95 bullet: Done Add the following bullets: Dec 96 Submit final RIP-2 protocol specification Internet Draft and submit all RIP-2 documents for consideration as full Standards. Fred Baker will make the required update to the Cryptographic Authentication Internet Draft and re-submit it for consideration as a Proposed Standard. Dec 97 Review the status of the Proposed Standard documents and discuss moving them up the standards track.
