CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Fred Baker/ACC
Minutes of the Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions Working Group (PPPEXT)
Status of work in progress:
Proposed Standards
RFC1331 - PPP In considering PPP for other HDLC
encapsulations such as LAPB and Frame Relay,
it became clear that the document does not
make the difference between the transport (the
protocol in the address and control fields)
and the PPP negotiation and data services
(everything else). Bill Simpson will
reorganize the document, possibly into two
documents, and when we concur on the output we
expect to advance this to Draft Standard. We
agreed on one FSM change: when a code reject
occurs, the sender should swallow it EVEN IN
THE OPEN STATE.
RFC1332 - IPCP
RFC1333 - LQM Several tested interoperable implementations
of these exist, and we have data supporting
that. Mark Lewis will write an ``Experience
Document'' supporting the advancement of these
and PPP to Draft Standard.
RFC1334 - Authentication There is work happening on the
nas-req@merit.edu list to include a version of
CHAP based on recent PEM work, and a Kerberos
option.
RFC1220 - Bridging Rich Bowen of IBM will make a backward
compatible update noting experience and adding
an IBM SR Bridge BPDU. We will probably want
to advance this to Draft Standard when the
updates are ready.
The following Internet-Drafts have been advanced:
ppp-requirements-02 Bill to update and submit as an Informational
RFC.
pppext-bridgemib-01 ==> Proposed Standard
1
pppext-cipx-02 ==> Proposed Standard
pppext-ipcpmib-01 ==> Proposed Standard
pppext-ipxcp One sentence change, ==> Proposed Standard. Bill
will change the sentence and post the draft for IESG
consideration.
pppext-lcpext-00 Some Updates Required, which Bill Simpson will do.
Other Work in Progress
o Keith Sklower will revise his load sharing draft (see minutes of
the joint meetings of IPLPDN and PPPEXT) for further review. Fred
Baker is withdrawing his proposal in favor of Keith's.
o Novell has prototyped the LAPB and Compression proposals, and has
donated the time of Dave Rand to document their work and turn it
into an interoperable consensus specification. Especially in view
of earlier poor relations between the working group and Novell, we
welcome this effort and support. Fred Baker will put the current
proposal into a form that can be handed off, and Dave will revise
it as appropriate.
o AppleTalk Smart Buffering and EDDP are under consideration by Brad
Parker. He will post updated documents as he is able to complete
them. Brad will also record experience in an updated AppleTalk/PPP
document.
PPPEXT plans to have one meeting at the Amsterdam IETF, and two joint
meetings with IPLPDN.
