Description of Working Group:
 
The Topology Engineering Working Group monitors and coordinates
connections between networks, particularly routing relationships.

\begin{itemize}
\item Monitor interconnectivity among national and international
      backbones and mid-level networks.

\vspace{.2in}
\item Monitor interconnection policies with a view of moving toward a
      common scheme for managing interconnectivity.

\vspace{.2in}
\item Act as a forum where network engineers and representatives of
      groups of networks can come together to coordinate and tune their
      interconnections for better efficiency of the Internet as a whole.

\end{itemize}
 
 Goals and Milestones: 
 
  Ongoing       Reports to the Internet community will be given reflecting what
                we learn each quarter.  This periodic report will be of use to 
                the IETF, to FARnet, and to the CCIRN members.                 

   Dec 90       An immediate project is to produce an RFC which will help 
                mid-level networks when changing their interconnectivity.
