Minutes of the Procedures for Internet/Enterprise Renumbering BOF 
(PIER)


The PIER BOF was held in two sessions.  The first covered the draft 
charter, which was updated to reflect a broader scope of working group 
interaction with other working groups and a clarification on the focus 
on IPv4.  Some review of a series of documents that had already been 
started was done.  It was noted that most of the documents reflected 
cookbook approaches to renumbering small sites. A wide ranging 
discussion on other topics of possible interest ensued, with the following 
structure: Renumbering as it applies to:  Routing & Infrastructure, 
Firewalls, Multihomed sites, Servers, API's, and Tools.  A number of 
particpants indicated that they were either currently involved in a 
renumbering project or were going to start up very soon.  There was 
agreement that a working group (or two!) ought to be formed to address 
some of these issues.
 
Our second session was to generate milestones.  Six classes of documents 
wereidentified.  How to renumber small sites, A Goal statement, Where 
IP addresses are used in applications, Tool cataloge, Case studies, and 
How renumbering affects my network presence.  Volunteers were 
"persuaded" to tackle at least one item for each group.  It is expected 
that a majority of our work will be completed by Summer 1996.
