CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Yakov Rekhter/IBM Minutes of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) BGP WG had three meetings during Santa Fe IETF. The first meeting started with presentation by Phill Gross (ANS) on the need for supporting subnet masks in BGP. Phill's presentation followed by an extensive discussion on the subject of IP addressing and routing. Discussion rapidly steered from the initially proposed subject (subnet masks in BGP) towards general issues of IP addressing and routing. It was recognized that the problems and issues that surfaced during the discussion were not BGP problems, and thus could not be solved by introducing subnet masks support in BGP. It had been also recognized that before introducing subnet masks support in BGP we need much better understanding of the problem(s) we are trying to solve. At the end of the first meeting it was suggested that a new Working Group should be formed. This Working Group should look at the general issues of addressing and routing in IP internets. The second meeting was dedicated to the discussion of the OSPF-BGP Interaction document. The author of the document received numerous comments. The comments were incorporated into the draft, and a new version of the draft is available (draft-ietf-bgp-ospfinteract-01.txt). The second meeting involved active participation from members of the OSPF and Router Requirements Working Groups. We expect to turn the draft into a Proposed Internet Standard by next IETF. The third meeting was given to Jessica Yu (NSFNET/MERIT) who chaired BGP Deployment BOF. Minutes of this BOF will be available separately.
