Avri,
Two IRTF RRG drafts that will be addressed in the upcoming meeting.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
Title : Analysis of IDR requirements and History
Author(s) : A. Doria, E. Davies
Filename : draft-irtf-routing-history-02.txt
Pages : 43
Date : 2005-10-26
This document analyses the current state of IDR routing with respect
to RFC1026 and other IDR requirements and design efforts. It is the
companion document to "Requirements for Inter-Domain Routing"
[I-D.irtf-routing-reqs], which is a discussion of requirements for
the future routing architecture and future routing protocols.
Few more incorrect points in the draft:
From 3.2:
The first version of the Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP-1) [RFC1105]was developed as a replacement, but was
specifically designed to work on a tree structured network (links are
classified as upwards, downwards or sideways).
BGP-1 was *not* designed to work "on a tree structured network".
It was designed to work on a *hierarchically* structured network
as well as on a *non-hierarchically* structured network. In fact the
presence of "sideways" inter-AS link was specifically intended to
accommodate the latter.
With this mind I would suggest to replace the original text with
the following:
The first version of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-1)
[RFC1105]was developed as a replacement. It was designed to work
on a hierarchically structured network as well as on a
non-hierarchically structured network.
From 3.2:
BGP version 1 [RFC1105] was the first real path-vector
routing protocol (standardized in 1989) which was intended to relieve
some of the scaling problems but it still assumed a tree structured
network.
Again, this is incorrect. BGP-1 (rfc1105) did *not* assume a tree
structured network. To the contrary, it assumes that a network
may not be a tree structured network, and that is why BGP-1
provided a mechanism to suppress routing information looping.
With this in mind I would suggest to delete" but it still assumed
a tree structured network".
