Description of Working Group:
 
  Existing inter-domain multicast routing protocols are not scalable to
  a large internetwork containing very large numbers of active
  wide-area groups.  The purpose of the IDMR Working Group, therefore,
  is to discuss proposed inter-domain multicast routing protocols, and
  put forward one (or a hybrid of several) as a Proposed Standard
  to the IESG.

  Several proposals have been made to date, including Core-Based Tree
  (CBT) multicasting, Core-Based Join (CBJ) multicasting, and Scalable
  Reverse Path Multicasting (SRPM).  Some of the above have yet to be
  reviewed.
 
 Goals and Milestones: 
 
     Done       Post the Core Based Trees architecture as an Internet-Draft.   

     Done       Meet at IETF.  All proposals must be submitted by this date.  
                Discuss all proposals which have been submitted.               

   Dec 93       Submit the Core Based Trees architecture Internet-Draft to the 
                IESG to be published as an Informational RFC.                  

     Done       Meet at IETF.  Discuss security issues with respect to the 
                proposed protocol(s).                                          

   Aug 94       Post an Internet-Draft for a single protocol (which may be one 
                of the proposals, or a combination of proposals), and an 
                Internet-Draft serving as a protocol analysis document for that
                protocol (as required by RFC 1264).                            

   Jan 95       Submit the single protocol to the IESG as a Proposed Standard. 

   Mar 95       Post an Internet-Draft for an IDMR MIB.                        

   Jul 95       Submit the IDMR MIB Internet-Draft to the IESG as a Proposed 
                Standard.
