Hi All!
Welcome to the IRTF-RR mailing list... Most of you have been subscribed
to this list for years... And you all probably forgot about it... ;)
Anyway, this message is to remind you that the IRTF Routing Working Group
is still alive and functional.
Sean Doran and I are the new co-chairs of the group and we are going to
be doing our best to help make this group accomplish great things...
So, if you've forgotten about this list and no longer wish to be on it,
now is the time to unsubscribe. And, if you know of someone who really
needs to participate in this group, now would be a good time to
encourage them to subscribe. ;)
Here are the list details:
It has now been moved to irtf-rr@nether.net and you have all been
subscribed to it. If you no longer wish to participate, please send
unsubscribes to irtf-rr-request@nether.net.
One of the first things that we would like to do is to revisit our
charter. I've included the current incarnation (with some small updates
by Sean and myself). Please send your comments to the list. We'd like
to get our new charter in place as soon as possible so we can start
getting things done!
In addition, we hope to generate some good discussions about routing
issues and topics for exploration.
If you have any questions or comments, please send them to Sean and
myself... or the list.
Looking forward to some interesting routing research....
-abha ;)

Charter:
The Internet Research Task Force Routing Research group is chartered to
explore routing problems that are important to the development of the
Internet but are not yet mature enough for engineering work within the
IETF. The group will work closely with the IESG Routing Area Director to
ensure the free flow of information in both directions and avoid
duplication of work with the various IETF working groups.
As a first step, the group will survey the state of the art in routing
research and the needs of the user community (ISPs, router vendors, etc.);
based on these results and the interests of the members, the group will
choose a number of topics on which to focus. At that point, the group may
decide to split up to work on these topics separately, or to remain a
single group with a number of threads.
The research topics to be surveyed include:
1.Quality of Service routing
2.Scalable multicast routing, including aggregation techniques
3.Routing protocol stability, convergence and scalability
4.Extremely dynamic constraint-based routing
5.Traffic Engineering
6.NAT and IPv6 routing
7.Optical networks and routing
8.Operational concerns of routing - fate-sharing, etc.
This group will have limited core membership, but will hold open meetings
from time to time to solicit input from, and supply information to, the
community. In particular, once per year there will be a review of the
group's activities held at an IETF meeting. The mailing list will be
an open forum.
