The working group is chartered to work on issues related to the deployment of CLNP in the Internet. The first area of this group's work has been the learning necessary to start deploying OSI in Internet networks. This phase includes planning for OSI deployment by creating routing plans for regional networks and education on using OSI routing protocols.
This first area of the group's work will be on-going as we continue to deploy OSI in the Internet. This step has lead to people deploying OSI for pilot projects and demonstrations of OSI.
The second step of deploying OSI will be the transition of OSI from a pilot service to a production service. During this phase we will work on specifying the network debugging tools and test beds. We will need to track the level of OSI support in the Internet. We will need to provide documentation for new users of OSI on the Internet.
