Removing IP Encapsulation and Server Mode During open discussion, Rob Coltun requested that the WG simplify NHRP, and allow it to be directly adopted by the ATM Forum MPOA group, by removing server mode and its IP encapsulation. During the discussion, Joel Halpern described how NHRP can be transition into a network without server mode. As NHRP is deployed, requests will begin to be sent to directly attached neighbors, along the routed path. In that case, datagrams will simply follow the routed path as before, so nothing breaks.
Configuration is much easier than it had been for server mode.
The IP encapsulation must be removed from the packet formats. The chair will sent a request to the IANA for a PID codepoint in the IANA's OUI space. There were no objections, including those with existing or in- progress implementations. There was no support for retaining server mode. Internet drafts on the full router-router case are solicited for discussion over the list and at the Dallas meeting.
