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/IPv6 (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 or IPv6 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 Usage (standards track)
Most of BGP/IDRP Usage document will reference the CIDR (supernetting) RFCs and related Internet-Drafts. IDRP Usage will contain a sample policy configuration language and examples on how to use IDRP in the Internet today.
7) BGP-4 to IDRP v6 Transition (standards track)
This document will provide information on how to transition between BGP-4 and IDRP v6 networks.
