CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Jeff Fitzgerald/Fibercom, Inc. MMB Minutes The Multi-Media Bridge Working Group met twice at the Boulder IETF. The first meeting was spent reviewing the Charter which was subsequently approved and published. The second meeting was spent reviewing the Multi-Media Bridge Technology and its impact on the TCP/IP architecture. A general review of the bridging standard (IEEE document 802.1d) was made and the following issues were raised to be addressed by the Working Group: o Differing MTU sizes among different media types. o Differing Bit/Byte ordering problems - especially with respect to datalink addresses. The group then reviewed the following RFC's; o RFC 1042 (IP over 802 Networks) o RFC 1188 (IP over FDDI) o RFC 1191 (Path MTU Discovery) It was felt that these documents have laid the foundation for the future work of the group. At the next meeting the group will begin to address an appropriate strategy for 802.5 networks.
