udlr slot at London IETF


Hi everybody,

we have a slot for the udlr working group on Monday Aug 6th.

MONDAY, August 6, 2001
1300-1500 Afternoon Sessions I

RTG     udlr            UniDirectional Link Routing WG


The agenda will be the following:

1) Discussion of a new proposed charter for the group.
2) Presentation of some udlr experiments
	by UDCAST, JCSAT

see you in London.

-----------------------------

here follows the proposed new charter to be discussed:

The UDLR working group issued the RFC 3077 in March 2001. This RFC
describes a link-layer tunneling mechanism (LLTM) for supporting
unidirectional links (UDL) in the Internet.

During the design of this mechanism by the UDLR working group, several
implementations evolved. These implementations are fully interroperable
and are currently being used in several operational environments.

As of the publication of RFC 3077, the working group has decided to
further their work by issuing the following objectives:

1- Produce informational rfc's that describe in detail the requirements
of example case study scenarios as listed below. Note that these
scenarios relate to field experiments that are being undertaken based on
the LLTM mechanism:

    a) configuration of multicast routing protocols over a
unidirectional link
    b) configuration of unicast routing protocols over a unidirectional
link
    c) securing operation of a UDLR network
    d) other relevant experiments ?

2- Identify security holes

3- Push the current document (RFC 3077) status to Draft Standard.


Goals and Milestones:

Aug 01 Discuss new charter. Discuss which experiments to describe

Dec 01 Submit I-D on the configuration of multicast routing
       protocols over a UDL
       Submit I-D on the configuration of unicast routing
       protocols over a UDL
       Submit I-D on securing operation of a UDLR network
       Submit I-D on other relevant experiments ?

Mar 02 Submit the Link Layer Tunneling Mechanism to the IESG for
consideration as a Draft Standard

Jul 02 Submit Internet-drafts as Informational RFCs
