Description of Working Group:

PIER will fill the niche between the ADDRCONF, CIDRD, DHCP, SERV-LOC,
and other working groups as needed in identifying processes and
procedures, tools and techniques for renumbering in both the IPv4 and
IPv6 environments.  Since IPv6 is still in development, the main focus
will be IPv4 environments.  Emphasis will be placed on identifying the
places where hardcoded IP addresses are used and documenting those
places. If there are viable alternatives to hardcoded IP addresses, the
working group will document those as well. The end results of these
investigations will be a series of documents on renumbering issues and
recommendations on what actions might be taken to address those issues
where there is no currently viable alternative. These recommendations
will be to other working groups and/or areas regarding possible
improvements to protocols that would aid in renumbering. The PIER
working group will not develop such protocols itself.

Goals and Milestones:

  JAN 96       Submit Goals and Objectives document as an Internet-Draft.

  FEB 96       Submit document on How to renumber a small site as an
               Internet-Draft.

  MAR 96       Submit Tool Catalog as an Internet-Draft.

  APR 96       Submit Internet-Draft on Where IP addresses are used.

  MAY 96       Produce and refine numbering papeers and case histories via
               active encouragement for people to practice renumbering.

  JUL 96       Submit Internet-Draft of Case Histories.

  JUL 96       Submit Internet-Draft on the Effects of renumbering on
               network visability.


Internet-Drafts:

 No Current Internet-Drafts.
