CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_


Reported by Martha Steenstrup/ BBN

During the past six months, the ORWG has generated both an architecture
document and protocol specification document for inter-domain policy
routing (IDPR). The former is available as an Internet Draft, and the
latter will soon be submitted as an Internet Draft.

The ORWG met for three sessions at the May 1990 IETF. Our original
intent was to argue about details of the IDPR protocols.  However, as
many new people attended our sessions, we elected to conduct the
meetings as IDPR tutorials.  Isidro Castineyra and Martha Steenstrup
presented an overview of the architecture as well as the protocols in
order to give everyone an idea of the goals and functionality of IDPR.

Prior to and during the IETF meeting, we distributed a draft of the IDPR
protocol specification document and requested comments from the readers.
Prototype implementation is already under way and thus the more feedback
we receive now, the more likely the suggested changes will be
implemented in the prototype.  Please address comments to
open-rout-wg@bbn.com.  To be included on this list, please send a
