Description of Working Group:



The Routing Policy System Working Group intends to provide 



standardization of protocols and recommended practices neccesary to 



support interoperability of the Internet Routing Registry (IRR). The IRR 



has been in use since 1995 based initially on the RIPE-181 policy



language.







The activities of the RPS Working Group shall include (1) defining a



language, referred to as Routing Policy Specification Language(RPSL),for 



describing routing policy constraints, (2) defining a simple and robust 



distributed registry model for publishing routing policy constraints, 



and (3) providing a forum for the discussion of tools for analysing 



registered policy constraints, for checking global consistency, for 



generating router configurations, and for diagnosing operational routing 



problems.
