Minutes of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
BGP WG had three meetings during Santa Fe IETF.
The first meeting started with presentation by Phill Gross (ANS) on the
need for supporting subnet masks in BGP. Phill's presentation followed
by an extensive discussion on the subject of IP addressing and routing.
Discussion rapidly steered from the initially proposed subject (subnet
masks in BGP) towards general issues of IP addressing and routing. It
was recognized that the problems and issues that surfaced during the
discussion were not BGP problems, and thus could not be solved by
introducing subnet masks support in BGP. It had been also recognized
that before introducing subnet masks support in BGP we need much better
understanding of the problem(s) we are trying to solve. At the end of
the first meeting it was suggested that a new Working Group should be
formed. This Working Group should look at the general issues of
addressing and routing in IP internets.
The second meeting was dedicated to the discussion of the OSPF-BGP
Interaction document. The author of the document received numerous
comments. The comments were incorporated into the draft, and a new
version of the draft is available (draft-ietf-bgp-ospfinteract-01.txt).
The second meeting involved active participation from members of the
OSPF and Router Requirements Working Groups. We expect to turn the
draft into a Proposed Internet Standard by next IETF.
The third meeting was given to Jessica Yu (NSFNET/MERIT) who chaired BGP
Deployment BOF. Minutes of this BOF will be available separately.
