Prototype Implementation

  o  Stand-alone IDRP
  o  Integrated IP and ISO Routing
  o  Runs over IP or CLNP
  o  Loosely Coupled To GateD
  o  Functions
     -  Basic Transport
     -  Empty RIB-Att
     -  Confederations
     -  Policy
     -  Aggregation


Process

  o  Code + Unit Test
  o  Simulation Environment Integration Test
  o  Real Hardware System Test


Status

  o  Simulation Testing for 4-6 Node Network + Some Testing On
     Real Hardware

     -  Basic Transport
     -  FSM
     -  Internal and External Redistribution of Updates
     -  Preference and Distribution Policy
     -  Kernel Interface for IP Network Layer

  o  Code + Unit Test

     -  Aggregation
     -  Confederations
