Editor's Note: Minutes received 7/30 CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Paul Tsuchiya/Bellcore Minutes of A New Internet Protocol (PIP) BOF The PIP BOF was held on Wednesday night, July 15, 1992. The purpose of the BOF was to educate people about PIP. PIP (for ``P'' Internet Protocol) is a new internet protocol designed for advanced internet applications, such as policy routing and flow, but is still able to accommodate existing internetworking techniques (that is, hop-by-hop routing with simple hierarchical addresses). No real action items or decisions came out of the meeting. Mr. Tsuchiya indicated his intent to start a PIP mailing list (pip@thumper.bellcore.com), and to proceed as quickly as possible on a PIP specification and prototype implementation. Otherwise, the BOF consisted of a presentation of examples of PIP operation under various circumstances including plain old hierarchical addresses, policy routing, separation of external addressing conventions from internal addressing, and mobile systems. Many lively discussions ensued, and a good time was had by all. Attendees J.
