CIDR Deployment (cidrd)

Description of Working Group:































The CIDR Deployment Working Group will be a forum for































coordinating the deployment, engineering, and operation of classless































routing protocols and procedures in the global Internet. This activity































will include, but not be limited to:































































  - Deployment of CIDR addressing and routing in the global Internet.































     Will include coordination of deployment of new exterior routing































     protocols, such as BGP4, which support CIDR.































































  - Develop mechanisms and procedures for sharing operational































    information to aim the operation.































































  - Development of procedures, policies, and mechanisms to improve































    the utilization efficiency of the IPv4 address space.































































  - Work on longer-term strategies for hierarchical, CIDR-based































    addressing and routing. Examples include class A subnetting and































    provider block sub-allocation along geographical/topological































    boundaries as is done for 193.0.0.0 and 194.0.0.0 in Europe.































































Initially, this working group will be simply the reincarnation of the































BGP Deployment Working Group under a new name.
