Description of Working Group:

The RIP Version 2 Working Group is chartered to expand the RIP protocol, as
defined in RFC 1058.  The expansion will include the addition of
subnet masks to the routing entries.  The expansion may also include
authentication, AS numbers, next hop address, MTU, or linkspeed.
Since all routing protocols are required to have a MIB, one will be
defined.  The primary issue is the maintainance of backwards
compatibility, which must be preserved.

The purpose of improving RIP is to make a simple, widely available
protocol more useful.  It is not intended that RIP-II be used in
places where OSPF would be far better suited.


Goals and Milestones: 
 
          Given successful implementation experience, advancement of RIP-II to 
          Draft Standard.  Submission of MIB into the standards track.         

          Final meeting to achieve closure on any pending issues.              

     Done Review of RIP-II Internet Draft to ensure the additions are useful 
          and backwards compatible.  Also ensure that the additions cannot 
          cause routing problems.                                              

   Jul 92 Final review of RIP-II Internet Draft and submission into the 
          standards track.  First review of RIP-II MIB.                        

   Nov 92 Review of implementations.  Final review of MIB.
