IDPR Minutes

The Inter-Domain Policy Routing (IDPR) Working Group met for four
sessions at the March 1991 IETF meeting in St.  Louis.  As we have many
new members at each IETF, we always provide a tutorial as the opening
session of the IDPR Working Group.

The second session we devoted to a discussion of the IDPR prototype
implementation, concentrating on those parts of the implementation that
are complicated and on the configuration information.  We also described
results of experiments in our test labs and on DARTNET. Our experiments
were of the proof of concept variety:  IDPR does indeed generate routes
respecting domain transit policies and adapts routes to changes in
connectivity and policy.  During the final two sessions, we covered the
IDPR protocol specification draft in detail, soliciting comments and
suggestions for improvement.  We invite all interested parties to read
and comment on the Internet Draft.  Please send responses to
idpr-wg@bbn.com.

Currently, members of the IDPR Working Group are in the process of
putting together a MIB, a gated version of IDPR, and a user guide.  Once
these become available, people interested in experimenting with IDPR
will be able to do so with relative ease.
