Agenda

1 - Status of Cryptographic Authentication I-D 

2 - Discussion of RIPng Draft

3 - Status of Triggered RIP

4 - Any other issues


RIP-2 (RFC 1723) is still waiting for the inclusion of introductory 
material from RFC 1058. Once this is done, RIP-2 (all RFCs) can be 
submitted for consideration as full Standards. 

The Cryptographic Authentication I-D was held up because some IESG 
comments were never given to the authors. These comments have now 
been addressed and the I-D should be able to procede. If the chair does 
not see action within a few weeks, he will ping the IESG for a status 
update.

The RIPng Internet Draft (02) was reviewed. It contained the comments 
from the last call. Additional changes were approved during the 
meeting. These include:
multicast on point-to-point lines
send only one update per interface, always using same src address 
include route tag in per-route "must be zero" field allow for 
specification of next-hop using an escape mechanism "borrow" security 
considerations text from OSPFng doc get a port number for TBD

Gerry Meyer presented the status of the Triggered RIP I-Ds. He will 
make a few editorial changes and publish a new (02) I-D. The chair 
will then submit the I-Ds for consideration as a Proposed Standard (for 
the protocol spec) and as an Informational RFC (for the protocol 
analysis).
