SMDS Minutes

Review of Draft Document

The IP over SMDS Working Group met for two half-day sessions on Tuesday,
December 4, 1990.  The morning session was devoted to a close review of
the second version of the Internet Draft, ``A Proposed Standard for the
Transmission of IP Datagrams over SMDS,'' written by Joe Lawrence and
Dave Piscitello.  This document describes the operation of IP over SMDS
when a ``logical IP subnetwork ''is provided over the SMDS
connectionless service.

Although there were many changes to the document to clarify meanings, to
correct minor errors, and to conform to normal RFC format, there were no
changes in semantics.  (These changes have since been incorporated and
interested persons may obtain a copy of the revised internet draft
through normal procedures.)  It was noted that the ARP hardware type
code assigned to SMDS addresses is 14 (decimal).

Following the review, George Clapp announced that there would be a
presentation of the draft to the IETF plenary on Wednesday evening,
December 5.  This presentation was preparatory to consideration by the
plenary of whether to advance the draft to ``proposed standard'' status.

The afternoon session was devoted to a review of the slides to be
presented on Wednesday evening.  (A copy of the slides should be
included in the Minutes of that plenary session.)  Following a detailed
review of the slides, the Working Group agreed to dissolve.  The IP over
SMDS Working Group is no longer in existence.  If necessary, the Working
Group may reform to discuss issues concerning the contents of the
document which may arise in the future.  Issues related to public, or
``global'', IP connectivity over SMDS will be discussed within the newly
formed IP over Large Public Data Networks Working Group (IPLPDN WG).

For your interest, the plenary agreed to advance the draft to ``proposed
standard'' status during the Wednesday evening session.

The Co-Chairs would like to express their appreciation and gratitude to
the participants of the Working Group for their efforts in developing
this document.
