Currently, RFC1009 is the standard for IP routers. The Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF) will shortly be forming a working group to update and
expand that standard.
As we prepare to form this working group, we are curious about how the
Internet community feels we may improve and expand on RFC1009. In
particular:
1. Are there major topics should have been included in RFC1009 but
were not?
2. Are there any superfluous major topics in RFC1009?
3. Which issues concerning IP routers are ill-defined or
controversial?
4. Should the new standard emulate the style and presentation used
in the Host Requirements standards (RFC's 1122 and 1123)? If
not, why not, and how should we do it differently?
Please mail your comments to ietf-rreq-editor@Jessica.Stanford.EDU
