AGENDA
 - Introduction
 - Review Agenda
 - Report on resolution of open issues w/ VRRP and LANE
 - Interoperability Testing
 - Finalize VRRP MIB 

VRRP AND LANE
 - Issue reported regarding running VRRP on ATM "LAN Emulation"
    o Relates to LANE cache flushing mechanisms
 - Requires "LE_NARP" function
    o May not be included in all LANE implementations
 - FORE and Nortel have VRRP LANE implementations
 - Resolution:
    o Add note to VRRP specification describing the issue
    o Rob Montgomery and volunteer from FORE (with help from Rob Coltun)
      will write document on running VRRP over LANE.

INTEROPERABILITY TESTING
 - Implementation reports received from:
    o Nortel Networks, IBM, Xedia, Nokia, 3COM, 3COM, Cabletron, FORE
 - Reports available at
    ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/hinden/vrrp/vrrp-implementations.txt
 - Interoperability Testing at UNH
     Feb 23-25, 1999 (Tuesday - Thursday)

Bill Lenharth <whl@unh.edu> from UNH described the role of UNH testing
lab.  There will be a fee to do this interop testing.  Information on UNH
testing will be sent to vrrp mailing list in early January.

Slide was shown that was to be presented at Routing area meeting later in
the week:

VRRP STATUS
 - RFC2338 Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
    o Proposed Standard on 18 Mar 1998
 - Provides for Router Redundancy on LAN for Hosts
    o Uses Real IP Addresses and Virtual MAC
 - ICMP Redirects supported
    o Hosts switch to backup router transparently
 - W. G. Status
    o Finalizing VRRP MIB
    o Collecting implementation information for Draft Std
