 Presented by Ray LaRoca, UNH

  Held February 23, 24, and 25th at UNH's IOL

  Participants: 3Com, Cabletron, Fore, IBM, Nokia, Xedia

  The following tests were conducted:

  1) Conformance testing 
       Basic VRRP functionality (UNH test software)
  2) Pairwise vendor testing
  3) All vendor test

  Testing was successful.  Misconfiguration problems
  resulted in text clarifications to the current draft.
  

VRRP Protocol Review
--------------------

  The changes made to the VRRP protocol in the current draft are:

     * Authentication to be per virtual router instead of
       per interface

     * New Subsection 9.4 declaring VRRP over ATM Lane
        is out of scope
       (There have been a couple volunteers to write this
        up but no progress has been made.)

     * Clarified received packet length check
 
     * Clarified received authentication check

     * Clarified VRID verification check

     * New section 8.4 describing not to forward packets
       for adopted IP addresses

     * Added reference for computing internet checksum

     * Updated references

  Working group chair plans to issue last call for draft
  standard in next couple weeks.

  There was a question regarding if there was anything
  to report regarding patent claims.  Nothing new is known.


VRRP MIB Review
------------------------
  Presented by Brian Jewell, 3Com.

  The current version of the MIB is 5.  This did not make
  the IETF cutoff but a draft was available via anonymous
  ftp.  The working group chair plans to issue last call for proposed
  standard when new draft is out as an ID.

  The changes made to this version are

  * Objects under "vrrpRouterStatsEntry" were renumbered. OID's 
    became out-of-sequence due to changes made in the last revision
    (04).
 
  * Format of section numbers was changed ('.' added) to be consistent
    with other RFC's.

  * Changed the type of "vrrpNodeVersion" from INTEGER to Integer32.
    Also made DEFVAL (for this object) a decimal number.

  * A few spelling and typographical corrections were made.

  * Revisions were made to the format of some of the references to
    make then more concise and consistent.

  * Reworded the Overview section to attempt to make the description
    of VRRP more in-line with the VRRP RFC.
