| Done | | Review outline of proposed changes to OSPF. Identify any unresolved issues and, if possible, resolve them. |
| Done | | Become familiar with the IGMP protocol as documented in RFC 1112. Survey existing work on multicast routing, in particular, Steve Deering's paper ``Multicast Routing in Internetworks and Extended LANs''. Identify areas where OSPF must be extended to support multicast routing. Identify possible points of contention. |
| Done | | The group should have a draft specification. Discuss the specification and make any necessary changes. Discuss implementation methods, using as an example, the existing BSD OSPF code, written by Rob Coltun of the University of Maryland. |
| Done | | Report on implementations of the new multicast OSPF. Fix any problems in the specification that were found by the implementations. |
| Done | | Submit the MOSPF Specification to the IESG as a Proposed Standard. |
| Jun 96 | | Update MOSPF to reflect current usage, document interoperability between implementations, and submit to the IESG for consideration as a Draft Standard. |
| Dec 96 | | Submit MOSPF to IESG for consideration as a Standard. |
| Dec 96 | | Document interoperability between MOSPF and DVMRP, and submit as an Informational RFC. |
