Description:

The purpose of this BoF is to discuss the proposed Charter
for the IPoPTR WG. The WGs focus will be to standardize
specifications that will allow upper layer (IP) awareness within
Packet Transport Rings for tighter routing and forwarding
control as well as more efficient interworking of other features.

Proposed work includes interactions between the rings
and L3 routing protocols:

- IGP awareness of adjacent upstream and downstream neighbors
- Enable faster L3 convergence when nodes drops out
  or are  removed from the ring
- Enhancements to IGP metric and cost features
- Determine appropriate flooding mechanisms
- Extensions to enable ring-aware MPLS-TE
- MIB definitions

Time/Location: August 4, 2000 09:00-11:30

Pittsburgh Agenda:

Agenda Bashing (5 min.)
Scope and Objectives (10 min.)
Packet Transport Rings Concepts and Requirements (40 min.)
Status of IEEE related activities (30 min.)
Proposed Charter (10 min.)
Charter Bashing (20 min.)

Hi all, I think I remember it mentioned in our meeting in July that there is a WG in the IETF (or some sort of activity) that is looking into 'resilient rings' or MAN rings. Looking at the draft agenda, I'm unable to identify which session it is.Can anyone post it on the reflector for the benefit of those of us who plan on attending the IETF next week? Thanks. Khaled Amer
