Apple-IP WG  Minutes Columbus IETF

Discussion opened with the intended termination of the working group.  The
work of the working group will continue under the ANF.  By the end of the
working group meeting the WG did not have any need to schedule another
meeting and concluded.  The WG will activate if any work is needed to
complete the work currently on the standards track.

MIB+

Four issues were brought up in regard to the MIB+.

Zone Name Changing
	Zone name changing will not be part of MIB+ and will be moved to a working
group of the ANF for further study and work.

Per Port Counters
	Both per port counters and aggregate counters will be kept.  The per port
counters can be queried by watching for changes in the aggregate counters.

Zone Name matching of Get, Get Next and Set
	Lexical comparison of Zone names can be an issue in MIB+ implementations
since the zone name equivalence comparison is different from the lexical
order used in Get Next.  This will be elucidated in the MIB+ document.

Index of Zone Name
	Zone names will be used as the index into several tables.

The MIB+ will move forward and be submitted as an Internet-Draft by May 5th
it will then be submitted into the standards process after the standard two
weeks.

MacIP

The MacIP specification will be submitted as an Internet-Draft under the
control of the apple-ip wg if it is submitted by May 5th.  After that date
parties may submit the specification as a Informational RFC.

ANF

The ANF will take over all of the work that is currently done in the
Apple-IP working group.  The ANF is still in its formation phase but it
will try to have its first meeting at the MacTivity conference.

AFP MIB

The AFP MIB will be found on ftp.cayman.com there will be an announcement
to the mailing list shortly.  This work will be done under the ANF.

Other Issues:

How does the work on IP next generation effect MacIP boxes?
