Description of Working Group:

Develop the BGP protocol and BGP technical usage within the Internet,
continuing the current work of the Interconnectivity Working Group in
this regard.

 Goals and Milestones:

   Done         Complete development of Version 2 of the Border Gateway 
                Protocol (BGP). 

   Done         Develop a MIB for BGP Version 3. 

   Done         Develop a mature BGP technical usage document that allows 
                us to build Inter-AS routing structures using the BGP 
                protocol. 

   Done         Work with the Security Area to enhance the provision for 
                security in BGP. 

   Done         Develop a BGP usage document describing how BGP can be used 
                as part of a network monitoring strategy. 

   Done         Post an Internet-Draft specifying multicast extensions to 
                BGP. 

   Done         Post the specfication of BGP 4 as an Internet-Draft. 

   Done         Post an Internet-Draft specifying a MIB for BGP Version 4. 

   JAN 93       Submit the BGP Version 4 MIB to the IESG for consideration 
                as a Proposed Standard. 

   JAN 93       Submit the specification for BGP Version 4 to the IESG for 
                consideration as a Proposed Standard. 

   JAN 93       Submit the multicast extensions to BGP to the IESG as a 
                Proposed Standard. 

   JUL 97       Coordinate the deployment of BGP in conformance with the 
                BGP usage document in a manner that promotes sound 
                engineering and an open competitive environment. Take into 
                account the interests of the various backbone and mid-level
