The WGs focus will be to standardize specifications that will allow upper layer (IP) awareness within Packet Transport Rings for tighter routing and forwarding control as well as more efficient interworking of other features. Proposed work includes interactions between the rings and L3 routing protocols: - IGP awareness of adjacent upstream and downstream neighbors - Enable faster L3 convergence when nodes drops out or are removed from the ring - Enhancements to IGP metric and cost features - Determine appropriate flooding mechanisms - Extensions to enable ring-aware MPLS-TE - MIB definitions Time/Location: August 4, 2000 09:00-11:30 Pittsburgh Agenda: Agenda Bashing (5 min.)
