Editor's Note: Minutes received 12/2/92 CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by John Tavs/IBM Minutes of the Border Gateway Protocol Working Group (BGP) The BGP Working Group met twice on Monday, November 16, 1992, and discussed the following issues: BGP-4 Editorial Change The Working Group approved minor editorial change to the BGP-4 protocol specifications suggested by Yakov Rekhter. The revised text of the Internet-Draft will be posted shortly. BGP MIB It was pointed out that there are differences between MIB for BGP-3 and MIB for BGP-4. The Working Group decided to get a new OID for the bgpPathAttrEntry object. It is expected that BGP-3 MIB will eventually be deprecated. BGP-4 Implementation Dennis Ferguson (ANS) discussed his implementation of BGP-4 in GATED. It is expected that ANSNet will be running BGP-4 1Q93. A copy of the presentation should be available upon request from Dennis. BGP and IPAE/SIP The Working Group met jointly with several key members of the IPAE/SIP Working Group to discuss a possibility of supporting IPAE/SIP inter-domain routing with BGP. The Group suggested that inter-domain routing with IPAE/SIP should not be supported by BGP, but rather should be accommodated by IDRP. The rationale for this recommendation was based on the urgency of deploying BGP-4, unwillingness to change BGP-4 protocol specifications, and the overall consensus that IDRP is more suitable (than BGP) as an inter-domain routing protocol for IPAE/SIP.
