Description of Working Group:

Help facilitate the incorporation of the OSI protocol suite into the
Internet, to operate in parallel with the TCP/IP protocol suite.
Facilitate the co-existence and interoperability of the TCP/IP and OSI
protocol suites.

 Goals and Milestones:

   JAN 89       Determine what should be used short-term for (i) 
                intra-domain routing; and (ii) inter-domain routing. 

   JAN 89       Review GOSIP. Open liaison with Government OSI Users Group 
                (GOSIUG) for feedback of issues and concerns that we may 
                discover. 

   JAN 89       For interoperability between OSI end systems and TCP/IP end 
                systems, there will need to be application layer gateways. 
                Determine if there are any outstanding issues here. 

   JAN 89       Review the OSI protocol mechanisms proposed for the 
                upcoming Berkeley release 4.4. Coordinate efforts with 
                Berkeley. 

   JAN 89       Review short-term issues involved in adding OSI gateways to 
                the Internet. Preferably, this should allow OSI and/or dual 
                gateways to be present by the time that Berkeley release 
                4.4 comes out. 

   Done         Specify an addressing format (from those available from the 
                OSI NSAP addressing structure) for use in the Internet. 
                Coordinate addressing format with GOSIP version 2 and 
                possibly other groups.
