Subject: new working group
Status: OR
A new working group was formed within the routing area at the last IETF meeting in Vancouver, BC. The group is called "Address Resolution and Routing across Large Public Data Networks", and a tentative acronym is LPDN-WG. The group is intended to deal with issues related to operating IP over large public data networks such as SMDS, X.25, and frame relay. The "IP over SMDS" Working Group has written an internet draft describing the operation of IP over SMDS in a virtual private network scenario. This document is in the last stages of approval for release from the working group, and the co-chairs anticipate that the group will shepherd the document through the approval process and then dissolve. The LPDN-WG will continue the work on SMDS by considering issues related to wide scale public connectivity. The "Private Data Network Routing" Working Group (pdnrout), which dealt with the operation of IP over X.25 public data networks, dissolved at the Vancouver meeting, with the intention that LPDN-WG will continue its work. Finally, frame relay is beginning to be discussed within the IETF and it is appropriate to fold that work into this new group as well. A charter with objectives and a timeframe for completion will be distributed soon. George Clapp phone: 708-806-8318 fax: 708-806-8292 email: meritec!clapp@bellcore.bellcore.com clapp@maui.cs.ucla.edu
