Description of Working Group: 

Existing inter-domain multicast routing protocols are not scalable to a large internetwork containing very large numbers of active wide-area groups. The purpose of the IDMR Working Group, therefore, is to discuss proposed inter-domain multicast routing protocols, and put forward one (or a hybrid of several) as a Proposed Standard to the IESG. 

Several proposals have been made to date, including Core-Based Tree (CBT) multicasting, Core-Based Join (CBJ) multicasting, and Scalable Reverse Path Multicasting (SRPM). Some of the above have yet to be reviewed.

Goals and Milestones:

Done		Post the Core Based Trees architecture as an Internet-Draft.
Done		Meet at IETF. All proposals must be submitted by this date. Discuss all proposals that have been submitted.
Dec 93		Submit the Core Based Trees architecture Internet-Draft to the IESG to be published as an Informational RFC.
Done		Meet at IETF. Discuss security issues with respect to the proposed protocol(s).
Aug 94		Post an Internet-Draft for a single protocol (which may be one of the proposals, or a combination of proposals), and an Internet-Draft serving as a protocol analysis document for that protocol (as required by RFC 1264).
Jan 95		Submit the single protocol to the IESG as a Proposed Standard.
Mar 95		Post an Internet-Draft for an IDMR MIB.
Jul 95		Submit the IDMR MIB Internet-Draft to the IESG as a Proposed Standard.
