Minutes of the IP over Large Public Data Networks Working Group (IPLPDN)

RFC 1294

The revised version of RFC 1294, ``Multi-protocol over Frame Relay'',
was discussed and approved with the following further changes:


   o Specification of padding of encapsulated protocols to a two byte
     address boundary assuming either two or four octet DLCI's.

   o Discussion of Remote Bridging and clarification of Bridge PDU
     (BPDU) encapsulation.

   o Inclusion of connection-oriented protocols in an appendix.


After review of the document via email, the Group agreed to submit this
draft to the IESG as a Draft Standard.

RFC 1356

The Group discussed RFC 1356 on Multi=protocol over X.25 and agreed to
gather documentation of interoperable implementations and then to submit
the RFC to the IESG to advance the standard to Draft Standard status.

``Directed ARP''

The ``Directed ARP'' Internet-Draft was released by the Working Group at
the previous IETF meeting for approval as an RFC on the standards track.
The group reconsidered and revised the request to approval as an
Experimental RFC.

IP over Circuit ISDN

Work on IP over Circuit ISDN progressed wit the following decisions:


   o X.25 was approved as an additional encapsulation protocol.
   o ``Multi-link Transport'', in which multiple B channels may be
     aggregated into single higher bandwidth channel, was approved as a
     feature.  The Group agreed to work with the PPP Extensions Working
     Group (PPPEXT) on this topic.


Parameter Negotiation

The Group agreed to use the existing PPP specification for negotiation
through SNAP encapsulation.

                                   1





The PPPEXT Working Group agreed to take on the task of supporting a
``compound packet'' format, in which multiple PPP control packets are
transmitted in a single data-link layer protocol.

IP over SMDS and CCITT I.364

The Group agreed to the releases of an informational RFC describing the
IEEE802.6i draft standard on the ssupport of remote bridging over SMDS.

Contributions were requested on the topic of address resolution
