Glenn,
=20
I know we're encouraging cross participation between the standards =
bodies but we really need a free and easy flow of information between =
IPORPR, IEEE 802.17 and ITU-T SG15 on established and developing =
specifications specially for those working towards RFCs within the IETF. =
I know we casually
discussed this a while back but we don't have a mechanism nor an =
official notice from the other standards bodies as to how we are to =
facilitate this.
=20
We have to address this before starting work on the drafts.
=20
Thanks,
Albert

	Thanks for the review.=20

	IP and MPLS encapsulation over RPR are in charter -- though I can see =
that is not completely clear from the latest version of the charter.

	And the intent is coordination with all of ITU-T SG15 with Q9 being the =
coordination point as it has been in the past.=20

	Cheers,=20

	Glenn,=20

	I think that the group should also cover the mapping of MPLS over RPR.=20

	Moreover, regarding ITU SG15 relationships, I think we need to include =
also Q.11/15 and Q.12/15 in addition to Q.9/15 because all of these =
three questions are currently considering RPR.

	Below you can find a proposed revised version of the "Description of =
Working Group".=20

	Best regards, Italo=20

	Description of Working Group:=20

	Resilient Packet Rings (RPR), developed within the IEEE 802.17 RPR WG, =
provides substantial enhancements in both efficiency and flexibility =
over current bi-directional ring topologies. Benefits of resilient =
packet rings include spatial re-use (full utilization of both =
counter-rotating rings)
while maintaining protection switching during media faults, as well as =
defined mechanisms for topology discovery, congestion control, and =
protection switching. Reference the IEEE 802.17 RPR WG at =
http://www.ieee802.org/17/ for further information.  IEEE 802.17-2004 is =
currently published and work is
in progress on bridging enhancements.

	The IPORPR Working Group will produce two documents:=20

	   1) An IPORPR Framework that describes some of the features and=20
	      characteristics of 802.17 RPR, and how they might be exploited=20
	      by, e.g., IP or MPLS. For example, an RPR ring can be accessed=20
	      in a number of ways: it can be viewed as a "dumb" LAN supporting=20
	      traditional broadcast a la Ethernet (called "basic mode"), or its =

	      advanced features could be exploited.=20

	   2) An IPORPR definition of how to transport IP and MPLS over 802.17 =
RPR in=20
	      "basic mode". This document will cover encapsulation formats=20
	      (e.g., IPv4/IPv6, MPLS), how to perform address resolution (e.g., =
ARP/ND), IP=20
	      multicast transmission, priority mapping to the RPR=20
	      "serviceClass", etc.=20

	There are no formal liaisons between the IPORPR working group and other =
standards bodies.  However, cross participation is encouraged in the key =
RPR activities in these standards bodies:

	- IEEE 802.17  (http://www.ieee802.org/17/)=20
	- ITU-T SG15 Q9 =
(http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com15/sg15-q9.html)=20
	- ITU-T SG15 Q11 =
(http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com15/sg15-q11.html)=20
	- ITU-T SG15 Q12 =
(http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com15/sg15-q12.html)=20

	Folks,=20
	The IPoRPR WG has been in hibernation for quite some time.  Given the =
publication of IEEE 802.17 last year, it is time to shut down this WG... =
 or recharter and do something. Assuming there is some interest in the =
latter, I have attached a revised charter proposal that our AD will be
reviewing with the IESG shortly. Let us know if you have any comments. =
