Description of Working Group

     The OSPF Working Group will develop and field-test an SPF-based
     Internal Gateway Protocol.  The specification will be published
     and written in such a way so as to encourage multiple vendor
     implementations.

Goals and Milestones

Done     Design the routing protocol, and write its specification.

Done     Develop multiple implementations, and test against each other.

Done     Obtain performance data for the protocol.

Done     Make changes to the specification (if necessary) and publish
         the protocol as a Draft Standard RFC.

Done     Gather operational experience with the OSPF protocol and submit
         the document as an informational RFC.
