Description of Working Group:
 
Develop the BGP protocol and BGP technical usage within the Internet,
continuing the current work of the Interconnectivity Working Group in
this regard.

 
 Goals and Milestones: 
 
  Ongoing Coordinate the deployment of BGP in conformance with the BGP usage 
          document in a manner that promotes sound engineering and an open 
          competitive environment.  Take into account the interests of the 
          various backbone and mid-level networks, the various vendors, and the
          user community.                                                      

     Done Complete development of Version 2 of the Border Gateway Protocol 
          (BGP).                                                               

     Done Develop a mature BGP technical usage document that  allows us to 
          build Inter-AS routing structures using the BGP protocol.            

     Done Develop a MIB for BGP Version 3.                                     

     Done Work with the Security Area to enhance the provision for security in 
          BGP.                                                                 

     Done Develop a BGP usage document describing how BGP can be used as part 
          of a network monitoring strategy.                                    

     Done Post an Internet-Draft specifying multicast extensions to BGP.       

     Done Post the specfication of BGP 4 as an Internet-Draft.                 

     Done Post an Internet-Draft specifying a MIB for BGP Version 4.           

   Jan 93 Submit the multicast extensions to BGP to the IESG as a Proposed 
          Standard.                                                            

   Jan 93 Submit the specification for BGP Version 4 to the IESG for 
          consideration as a Proposed Standard.                                

   Jan 93 Submit the BGP Version 4 MIB to the IESG for consideration as a 
          Proposed Standard.
