Minutes of the P. Internet Protocol Working Group (PIP)

The PIP Working Group met during both afternoon sessions of Tuesday,
March 30th.

By and large, the meeting could be described as tutorial in nature.  Mr.
Francis (formerly Tsuchiya) covered various aspects of the Pip protocol.

Mr.  Francis first went over the changes in the header since Washington,
DC. The major changes include modification of how the Routing Context
and Handling Directive are interpreted, and in how options are handled.
During this discussion, Steve Deering uncovered a bug in the use of
Source and Dest ID + Protocol + Packet SubID as a caching mechanism.

Next, Mr.  Francis went over the structure of Pip Addresses and how they
are used in the Pip header.  Though many questions were asked, no
particular problems were uncovered.
