Please send suggestions on agenda items for the ptomaine WG. The group has
not had much of a life yet--a BOF and one meeting. There is a charter and a
couple of drafts have been proposed.

The charter (http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/ptomaine-charter.html) deals
with routing table size growth and scalability. It may be reasonable to
focus on routing convergence in general as well. Are there any comments on
the charter?

So far I have received the following as possibilities. Please comment on
what you would like to see this group do.


- I-BGP replacement (or improvements? experimental results to determine what
is broken?)

- IGP link convergence improvement - how to improve multipoint link failure
detection time?

- stop using MinRoute Advertisement Interval

- new inter-domain TE mechanisms which don't rely on CIDR abuse

- mechanisms which mitigate the damage caused by CIDR abuse (e.g.
   geoff's nopeer draft, Abley's eppc draft, see below).



- 3 drafts proposed on mailing list:

draft-huston-nopeer-00.txt

http://buffoon.automagic.org/dist/draft-jabley-edge-policy-propagation-contr
ol-02.txt [soon to be draft-jabley-eppc-00.txt]


Thanks,
    Mark
