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
