Description of Working Group:

The working group is chartered to work on issues related to the
deployment of CLNP in the Internet.  The first area of this group's
work has been the learning necessary to start deploying OSI in
Internet networks.  This phase includes planning for OSI
deployment by creating routing plans for regional networks and
education on using OSI routing protocols.
 
This first area of the group's work will be on-going as we continue to
deploy OSI in the Internet.  This step has lead to people deploying
OSI for pilot projects and demonstrations of OSI.
 
The second step of deploying OSI will be the transition of OSI from a
pilot service to a production service.  During this phase we will work
on specifying the network debugging tools and test beds.  We will need
to track the level of OSI support in the Internet.  We will need to
provide documentation for new users of OSI on the Internet.
 

 Goals and Milestones:

   MAR 91       Provide a forum to discuss OSI routing plans by email or in 
                group discussions. 

   JAN 92       Post as an Internet-Draft, a tutorial for CLNP OSI routing 
                protocols, including ES-IS, CLNP, IS-IS, and IDRP. 

   Done         Post as an Internet-Draft, a requirements document 
                specifying what OSI network tools are needed on every host 
                and router. 

   JUL 92       Submit to the IESG for Proposed Standard, a requirements 
                document specifying what network tools are needed on every 
                OSI host and router. 

   JUL 92       Post as an Internet-Draft, a collection of regional Routing 
                and Addressing plans. 

   JUL 92       Post as an Internet-Draft, a description of OSI network 
                layer debugging methods. 

   Done         Post as an Internet-Draft, a list of OSI Network Utilities 
                available in the public domain and from vendors. This list 
                will be passed over to the NOC tools Group effort for joint 
                publication. 

   AUG 92       Submit to the IESG as an Informational RFC, a description 
                of OSI network layer debugging methods.
