CIDR Deployment (cidrd) ----------------------- Charter Current status: active working group Chair(s): Vince Fuller Tony Li Operational Requirements Area Director(s): Scott Bradner Michael O'Dell Mailing lists: General Discussion:cidrd@iepg.org To Subscribe: cidrd-request@iepg.org Archive: ftp://aarnet.edu.au/pub/mailing-lists/cidrd* Description of Working Group: The CIDR Deployment Working Group will be a forum for coordinating the deployment, engineering, and operation of classless routing protocols and procedures in the global Internet. This activity will include, but not be limited to: - Deployment of CIDR addressing and routing in the global Internet. Will include coordination of deployment of new exterior routing protocols, such as BGP4, which support CIDR. - Develop mechanisms and procedures for sharing operational information to aim the operation. - Development of procedures, policies, and mechanisms to improve the utilization efficiency of the IPv4 address space. - Work on longer-term strategies for hierarchical, CIDR-based addressing and routing. Examples include class A subnetting and provider block sub-allocation along geographical/topological boundaries as is done for 193.0.0.0 and 194.0.0.0 in Europe. Initially, this working group will be simply the reincarnation of the BGP Deployment Working Group under a new name. Goals and Milestones: Ongoing Provide forum for discussion of initial CIDR/BGP4 deployment on the global Internet. Done Establish final charter, goals, and long-term group agenda. Feb 94 Work on inter-provider coordination of routing in the CIDR environment. Apr 94 Publish initial guideline document on CIDR allocation procedures (work in progress). Apr 94 Publish guidelines for usage of variable-length subnetting. Apr 94 Start work on document of inter-provider routing coordination. Apr 94 Begin work on document of aggregation guidelines. Jul 94 Begin work on document for long-term CIDR use, including subnetting of class As.
