OSI General (osigen) Charter Chair(s): Robert Hagens Ross Callon OSI Integration Area Director(s) <> Mailing lists: General Discussion:ietf-osi@cs.wisc.edu To Subscribe: ietf-osi-request@cs.wisc.edu Archive: janeb.cs.wisc.edu:/pub/archives/ietf-osi Description of Working Group: Help facilitate the incorporation of the OSI protocol suite into the Internet, to operate in parallel with the TCP/IP protocol suite. Facilitate the co-existence and interoperability of the TCP/IP and OSI protocol suites. Goals and Milestones: Done Specify an addressing format (from those available from the OSI NSAP addressing structure) for use in the Internet. Coordinate addressing format with GOSIP version 2 and possibly other groups. Review the OSI protocol mechanisms proposed for the upcoming Berkeley release 4.4. Coordinate efforts with Berkeley. Review GOSIP. Open liaison with Government OSI Users Group (GOSIUG) for feedback of issues and concerns that we may discover. Determine what should be used short-term for (i) intra-domain routing; and (ii) inter-domain routing. For interoperability between OSI end systems and TCP/IP end systems, there will need to be application layer gateways. Determine if there are any outstanding issues here. Review short-term issues involved in adding OSI gateways to the Internet. Preferably, this should allow OSI and/or dual gateways to be present by the time that Berkeley release 4.4 comes out. Internet Drafts: No Current Internet drafts. Request For Comments: RFC Stat Published Title ------- -- ---------- ----------------------------------------- RFC1139 PS Jan 90 Echo function for ISO 8473
