GROW WORKING GROUP IETF 78 MAASTRICHT draft-manderson-grow-geomrt- 00
Summary Research is underway that analyzes the network behavior of routing protocol transactions from routing information base snapshots in relation to geographical coordinates. Specifically the BGP routing protocol is the subject of study and the analysis has been significantly aided by the availability and extension of the "MRT format" [I- D.ietf-grow-mrt] originally defined in the MRT Programmer's Guide [MRT PROG GUIDE].
Summary Documents an extension to the "MRT format” [I- D.ietf-grow-mrt] and introduces an additional definition of a MRT Type field and related Subtype fields.
Current Drafts / Dependency Blunk, L., Karir, M., and C. Labovitz, "MRT routing information export format", draft-ietf-grow-mrt-11 (work in progress), March 2010
Feedback So far all off-list s positive BUT, No discussion on the ML One suggestion (privately) to escalate the collector GPS Coordinates outside of the BGP format. still open to the idea, however decouples the first class nature of the location data from the BGP dump potential issues of historical collection
Question to WG Table type number Currently documented 65, requires IETF review Or use different number? (FCFS, or other?)
