Description of Working Group

     The main list for this working group is "bgp@ans.net", but
     there is also an IDRP-specific mailing list:

     - List:  idrp@merit.edu
     - To Subscribe:  idrp-request@merit.edu
     - Archive:  merit.edu:/pub/archive/idrp

     The Inter-Domain Routing Working Group is chartered to
     standardize and promote the Border Gateway Protocol Version 4
     (BGP-4) and ISO Inter- Domain Routing Protocol (IDRP) as
     scalable inter-autonomous system routing protocols capable of
     supporting policy based routing for TCP/IP internets.  The
     objective is to promote the use of BGP-4 to support IP version
     4 (IPv4).  IDRP is seen as a protocol that will support IPv4 as
     well as the next generation of IP (IPv6).
     The working group will plan a smooth transition between BGP-4
     and IDRP.
     Documents:

     1) BGP-4 (standards track)
        This document contains the specification of the BGP protocol
        that enables it to be used as a protocol for exchange of
        ``inter- autonomous system information'' among routers to
        support forwarding of IPv4 packets across multiple autonomous
        systems.

     2) BGP-4 MIB (standards track)
        This document contains the MIB definitions for BGP-4.

     3) IDRP for IPv4 over IPv4 (standards track)
        This document contains the appropriate adaptations of the IDRP
        protocol definition that enables it to be used as a protocol
        for exchange of ``inter-autonomous system information'' among
        routers to support forwarding of IPv4 packets across multiple
        autonomous systems.

     4) IDRP MIB (standards track)
        This document contains the MIB definitions for IDRP.

     5) BGP/IDRP -- OSPF Interactions (standards track)
        This document will specify the interactions between BGP/IDRP
        and OSPF. This document will be based on a combination of the
        BGP -- OSPF interactions, and IDRP -- IS-IS interaction
        documents.

     6) BGP/IDRP for IPv4 Usage (standards track)
        Most of IDRP for IPv4 Usage will reference the CIDR
        (supernetting) RFCs and related Internet-Drafts.  IDRP for IPv4
        Usage will contain a sample policy configuration language, and
        examples on how to use IDRP for IPv4 in the Internet today.

     7) IDRP for IPv6
        This document contains the appropriate adaptations of the IDRP
        protocol definition that enables it to be used as a protocol
        for exchange of ``inter-autonomous system information'' among
        routers to support the forwarding of IPv6 packets across
        multiple autonomous systems.

     8) IDRP for IP Next Generation Usage
        The IDRP for IPv6 Usage document will contain instructions on
        how to run IDRP for IPv6 over IPv4 and IPv6.
