CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Rob Coltun/RainbowBridge Communications Minutes of the Open Shortest Path First IGP Working Group (OSPF) Status Overview The group discussed the status of the specification and of implementations. The new version of the specification is now a Draft Standard. There are several implementations of the new specification available. In the next round of OSPF interoperability there will be some testing of backward compatibility issues. The COS testing lab is coming along. There will be a round of testing this month that will repeat some of tests for the vendors that weren't at the last round. Early next year there will be a week of OSPF stress testing. OSPF Scaling Issues - ``Ringing It Out At The Next Level'' The group reviewed a list of implementation issues that have started to appear as it starts to scale OSPF to large networks. This list will be used in part as a basis for the next round of testing at COS. Fred Baker mentioned that ACC has one network running close to 200 routers in the same area with no stress on the routers. On-Demand Circuit Proposal We reviewed John Moy's on-demand circuit proposal. The major issue is the lack of backward compatibility. A few suggestions were made on how to make it compatible with existing implementations. NSSA Implementation and Status So far there is one implementation that will be released within the next few months in several products. The draft has been submitted to become a Proposed Standard. MIB Changes and Status Many excuses were given for the delay of the MIB being republished (mostly by Rob Coltun). The MIB has been updated to support NSSA and MOSPF. The group now has to do the SNMPV2 upgrades.
