 	Full Description:
 	
 	The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is fundamental to the
 	operation of the Internet. In recent years, the occurrence
 	of BGP related operational issues has increased, and
 	while overall understanding of the default-free routing
 	system has improved, there is still a long and growing
 	list of concerns. Among these are routing table growth rates,
 	dynamic properties of the routing system, and the effects
 	of routing policy on both the size and dynamic nature of
 	the routing table. In addition, new and innovative uses of
 	BGP, such as the use of BGP as a signaling protocol for
 	applications such as VPN, have created new and unexpected
 	operational issues.
 	
 	The purpose of the Global Routing Operations WG (GROW) is
	continue and expand on the original charter of the
	PTOMAINE WG. In particular, the purpose of GROW is to
	consider and measure the problem of routing table growth,
	and where appropriate, to document the operational
	aspects of measurement, policy, security, and VPN
	infrastructures.
