Re: Re: Is the list quiet?

[Hugh Holbrook <holbrook@cisco.com>]

The list is alive, but it has been fairly quiet.

The SSM working has not yet completely finished its task.  The main
and most critical item on our charter is to shepherd the SSM drafts
through the standards process.  We did not meet in London because
there was nothing left on our charter requiring a meeting.  There were
a few comments from the last IETF at which we met (Minneapolis) which
I have been remiss in incorporating in the ssm draft.

Brad and I will be submitting a revised version of
draft-holbrook-ssm-arch back to the list in the next week or so, and I
intend to start a working group last call on it shortly thereafter.
We will very much appreciate your comments.

I hope that multicast will get a lift as it becomes more and more
routers and host OSes provide the necessary support for SSM.  The
coming release of Windows XP, with its IGMPv3 support, should really
help things out.
