Routing Area Working Group (rtgwg) ---------------------------------- Charter Last Modified: 2011-12-09 Current Status: Active Working Group Chair(s): Alia Atlas Alvaro Retana Routing Area Director(s): Stewart Bryant Adrian Farrel Routing Area Advisor: Stewart Bryant Mailing Lists: General Discussion:rtgwg@ietf.org To Subscribe: rtgwg-request@ietf.org In Body: subscribe email_address Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/rtgwg/index.html Description of Working Group: The Routing area receives occasional proposals for the development and publication of RFCs dealing with routing topics, but for which the required work does not yet rise to the level where a new working group is justified, yet the topic does not fit with an existing working group, and it is either not ready for a BOF or a single BOF would not provide the time to ensure a mature proposal. The RTGWG will serve as the forum for developing these types of proposals. The RTGWG also focuses on enhancements to hop-by-hop distributed routing (e.g. multicast, LDP-MPLS, unicast routing) related to fast-reroute and loop-free convergence. A specific goal of fast-reroute mechanisms is to provide up to complete coverage when the potential failure would not partition the network. All work in this area should be specifically evaluated by the WG in terms of practicality and applicability to deployed networks. The RTGWG mailing list will be used to discuss the proposals as they arise. The working group will meet if there are one or more active proposals that require discussion. The working group milestones will be updated as needed to reflect the proposals currently being worked on and the target dates for their completion. New milestones will be first reviewed by the IESG. The working group will be on-going as long as the ADs believe it serves a useful purpose. Goals and Milestones: Done Submit draft on calculation of IGP routes over TE tunnels to IESG for publication as Informational RFC Done Submit initial Internet Draft on IP Fast Reroute Framework Done Submit initial Internet Draft on Basic IP Fast Reroute mechanism Done Select the Advanced IP Fast Reroute mechanism Done Review various mechanisms for Advanced IP Fast Reroute Done Submit IP Fast Reroute Framework to IESG for publication as Informational RFC Done Submit specification on Basic IP Fast Reroute mechanism to IESG for publication as Proposed Standard Done Submit Framework for Loop-free Convergence to IESG for publication as Informational RFC Mar 2012 Submit IP Fast Re-Route Using Not-via Addresses to IESG for publication as Informational Nov 2012 Submit Composite-Link Requirements to IESG for publication as Informational Nov 2012 Submit Ordered FIB architecture to IESG for publication as Informational Nov 2012 Submit initial Internet Draft on Multicast IP Fast Reroute Architecture Nov 2012 Submit Composite-Link Framework to IESG for publication as Informational Apr 2013 Submit specification on Advanced IP Fast Reroute mechanism to IESG for publication as Proposed Standard Internet-Drafts: Posted Revised I-D Title ------ ------- -------------------------------------------- Dec 2006 Dec 2011 IP Fast Reroute Using Not-via Addresses Aug 2010 Dec 2011 LFA applicability in SP networks Request For Comments: RFC Stat Published Title ------- -- ----------- ------------------------------------ RFC3682 E Feb 2004 The Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM) RFC3906 I Oct 2004 Calculating IGP Routes Over Traffic Engineering Tunnels RFC5082 PS Oct 2007 The Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM) RFC5286 PS Sep 2008 Basic Specification for IP Fast Reroute: Loop-Free Alternates RFC5714 I Jan 2010 IP Fast Reroute Framework RFC5715 I Jan 2010 A Framework for Loop-free Convergence
