CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Fred Baker/ACC Minutes of the Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions Working Group (PPPEXT) Status of work in progress: Proposed Standards RFC1331 - PPP In considering PPP for other HDLC encapsulations such as LAPB and Frame Relay, it became clear that the document does not make the difference between the transport (the protocol in the address and control fields) and the PPP negotiation and data services (everything else). Bill Simpson will reorganize the document, possibly into two documents, and when we concur on the output we expect to advance this to Draft Standard. We agreed on one FSM change: when a code reject occurs, the sender should swallow it EVEN IN THE OPEN STATE. RFC1332 - IPCP RFC1333 - LQM Several tested interoperable implementations of these exist, and we have data supporting that. Mark Lewis will write an ``Experience Document'' supporting the advancement of these and PPP to Draft Standard. RFC1334 - Authentication There is work happening on the nas-req@merit.edu list to include a version of CHAP based on recent PEM work, and a Kerberos option. RFC1220 - Bridging Rich Bowen of IBM will make a backward compatible update noting experience and adding an IBM SR Bridge BPDU. We will probably want to advance this to Draft Standard when the updates are ready. The following Internet-Drafts have been advanced: ppp-requirements-02 Bill to update and submit as an Informational RFC. pppext-bridgemib-01 ==> Proposed Standard 1 pppext-cipx-02 ==> Proposed Standard pppext-ipcpmib-01 ==> Proposed Standard pppext-ipxcp One sentence change, ==> Proposed Standard. Bill will change the sentence and post the draft for IESG consideration. pppext-lcpext-00 Some Updates Required, which Bill Simpson will do. Other Work in Progress o Keith Sklower will revise his load sharing draft (see minutes of the joint meetings of IPLPDN and PPPEXT) for further review. Fred Baker is withdrawing his proposal in favor of Keith's. o Novell has prototyped the LAPB and Compression proposals, and has donated the time of Dave Rand to document their work and turn it into an interoperable consensus specification. Especially in view of earlier poor relations between the working group and Novell, we welcome this effort and support. Fred Baker will put the current proposal into a form that can be handed off, and Dave will revise it as appropriate. o AppleTalk Smart Buffering and EDDP are under consideration by Brad Parker. He will post updated documents as he is able to complete them. Brad will also record experience in an updated AppleTalk/PPP document. PPPEXT plans to have one meeting at the Amsterdam IETF, and two joint meetings with IPLPDN.
