- MINUTES
-
-
- 1. Milo Medin presented John Moy's slides of the Proteon OSPF
- implementation in John's stead.
-
- 2. Rob Coltun presented slides of UMD's BSD OSPF implementation.
-
- 3. During the presentations questions came up concerning the migration
- from RIP to OSPF. It was agreed that the best way to approach this is
- to initially put OSPF at the borders of the Autonomous System and work
- towards the center. We are considering writing a paper addressing this
- issue.
-
- 4. Questions also came up regarding running OSPF on BSD systems that
- currently do not support Multicast. We explained that the BSD version
- allows configuring non-broadcast, multi-access networks over broadcast
- networks to serve as a temporary fix for those systems that do not
- support Multicast; this option will remain in the implementation until
- Multicast is generally available.
-
- 5. There were discussions on conditions that may occur in very large
- Autonomous Systems such as how to handle routing updates when a gateway
- has run out of memory and on possible consequences of running the spf
- algorithm each time a new LSA arrives when a partition has been
- repaired.
-
- 6. We talked about some of the changes to the specification such as packet
- formats, the Fletcher checksum, hello packets on non-broadcast
- multi-access networks, and hello packets over point-to-point links.
-
-

- 2
- 7. We presented some possible MIB variables. These basically were state,
- database and packet summary information. Not much discussion.
-
- 8. Some discussion followed about the OSPF working group being close to
-
- (or at) the end. We talked about starting a Multicast routing working
- group.
