CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by John Veizades/Apple APPLEIP Minutes AppleTalk over IP Tunneling The Apple-IP Working Group met at the Atlanta IETF. These are the Minutes of that meeting. The Agenda was as follows: AURP o Update o Work in progress o What is left to do SNMP o SNMP over DDP AppleTalk MIB o Old mib o New mib o Other mibs PPP and AppleTalk o Specification and description o Issues o Security MacIP o Protocol change o Doc clean up o Next step Other Issues 1 o AA protocol o Configuration management The work with PPP over AppleTalk is being handled by Brad Parker. He has documented the NCP specifics for AppleTalk and is talking to the PPP Working Group about adding LCP support for dial back (one of the issues that the group felt must be added to the LCP). Brad is also working with Apple to get support of the protocol from Apple. The SNMP and MIB work is progressing. The old MIB is now an RFC and has been implemented by several vendors. The new MIB is available from lancaster.andrew.cmu.edu the file name is appletlak-mib2.txt. The specification for SNMP over DDP is available from apple.com in the directory /pub/apple-ip. Mike Ritter of Apple and Greg Minshall from Novell are working on this. This specification should be finished by the next meeting. The AURP work was presented by Alan Oppenheimer. The folks from Shiva and Apple have been working on prototypes of this specification and have been interoperating over the Internet. The Shiva folks brought up several issues as to the transport layer AURP provides. Alan will be changing the document to better differentiate the transport layer from the rest of the AURP protocol. One change was made to the MacIP document and was presented to the group. Several issues as to the final format of the document were made and comments were presented to the author. A revised version of the document will be published shortly. The meeting finished with the continuing discussion of the AA protocol. Phil Bunde still has the action to produce the actual document. As Working Group Chair of this group I still have the concern that much of the work that must be done for AppleTalk to continue to grow as a protocol family is still not being accomplished by either Apple or the AppleTalk developer community at large. This work must be done and some forum should be created for this progress to occur.
