Folks,

The chairs would like to update the charter and the milestones of the WG
as attached.  Please review it and comment.

If we do not hear anything back, we will assume that it is acceptable to
the list and will send it to the ADs.

Thanks!
Radia & Mukesh

The purpose of this working group is to define and develop a standard
virtual router redundancy protocol for IPv4 and IPv6.  A virtual
router redundancy protocol is a protocol which allows several
routers on a multiaccess link to utilize the same virtual IP address.
One router will be elected as a master with the other routers acting as
backups in case of the failure of the master router.  The primary
motivation to using a virtual router redundancy protocol is that host
systems may be configured (manually or via DHCP) with a single default
gateway, rather than running an active routing protocol.  The protocol 
shall support sub-second detection of a master router failure 
and should support the ability to load share traffic when 
more than one router is up. 


The goals of this working group are:

1. Define and develop a standard virtual router redundancy protocol
    for IPv4 and IPv6 in one unified specification.

2. Develop a unified specification for the VRRP MIB.

3. The current drafts/RFCs will be used as the basis for the unified
    specification. 

4. Determine whether static (configuration based) load sharing is
    adequate or if some amount of dynamic load sharing is required.

5. Working group will examine security issues to determine what
    security threats it is appropriate for the VRRP protocol to
    handle and include the appropriate mechanisms in the VRRP protocol.

6. Intellectual property issues regarding the technology to
    develop a virtual router redundancy protocol will be identified
    and addressed.
