Description of Working Group:

       TP/IX is a new version of the IP, TCP, and UDP protocols, to
       advance the Internet technology to the scale and performance of
       the next generation of internetwork technology. TP/IX has been
       assigned the IP version number 7.

       The working group is chartered to review the TP/IX and RAP
       protocols, evaluate issues arising during product development
       and deployment planning, and to document problems and
       explanations for any parts of the coexistance with IPv4 not
       covered directly in the TP/IX-IPv4 interoperation design.

       The group will also be the initial forum for development of the RAP
       protocol while it is experimental; this work will need to be moved
       to the Routing Area when it is to be advanced.

Goals and Milestones:

  Done         Present the TP/IX (formerly IPv7) and the RAP protocols to
               the IETF Plenary.

  Done         Post the TP/IX Protocol and the RAP protocol as
               Experimental RFCs.

  Done         Hold Working Group meeting to discuss additional
               definitions. Prepare criteria to be met prior to
               standardization.

  Done         Hold Working Group meeting to evaluate the TP/IX and RAP
               protocols for Proposed Standard.

  DEC 93       Submit the TP/IX and RAP Protocols to the IESG for
               consideration as a Proposed Standard.
