Inter-Domain Multicast Routing (idmr) ------------------------------------- Charter Current status: active working group Chair(s): Tony Ballardie Paul Francis Routing Area Director(s): Joel Halpern Mailing lists: General Discussion:idmr@cs.ucl.ac.uk To Subscribe: idmr-request@cs.ucl.ac.uk Archive: cs.ucl.ac.uk:/darpa/idmr-archive.Z Description of Working Group: Existing inter-domain multicast routing protocols are not scalable to a large internetwork containing very large numbers of active wide-area groups. The purpose of the IDMR Working Group, therefore, is to discuss proposed inter-domain multicast routing protocols, and put forward one (or a hybrid of several) as a Proposed Standard to the IESG. Several proposals have been made to date, including Core-Based Tree (CBT) multicasting, Core-Based Join (CBJ) multicasting, and Scalable Reverse Path Multicasting (SRPM). Some of the above have yet to be reviewed. Goals and Milestones: Done Post the Core Based Trees architecture as an Internet-Draft. Done Meet at IETF. All proposals must be submitted by this date. Discuss all proposals which have been submitted. Dec 93 Submit the Core Based Trees architecture Internet-Draft to the IESG to be published as an Informational RFC. Jul 94 Meet at IETF. Discuss security issues with respect to the proposed protocol(s). Aug 94 Post an Internet-Draft for a single protocol (which may be one of the proposals, or a combination of proposals), and an Internet-Draft serving as a protocol analysis document for that protocol (as required by RFC 1264). Jan 95 Submit the single protocol to the IESG as a Proposed Standard. Mar 95 Post an Internet-Draft for an IDMR MIB. Jul 95 Submit the IDMR MIB Internet-Draft to the IESG as a Proposed Standard.
