1. Introduction

   March 25 to March 27, 1998 the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) held
   a workshop on Routing.  The workshop focused on current problems
   within the Internet and the long term solutions that should be
   addressed.  This document summarizes the discussions the group had on
   routing, and lists the conclusions reached by the workshop.  Section
   2 lists the conclusions reached by the participants of the workshop
   and the suggestions for additional work or redirection of current
   work.  Sections 2.1-2.10 attempt to extract the major points of what
   was, in actuality, many multifaceted discussions, sometimes occurring
   all at the same time.  Appendix A contains a list of the participants
   who attended the workshop.  The full body of the report can be found
   at http://www.iab.org.

   The topics covered at length during the IAB workshop were:

    1. Scaling of Unicast Routing and Addressing (section 2.1)
    2. Unicast Addressing Issues (Section 2.2)
    3. The Effect of extending IP version 4 in the Internet by using
       Network Address Transformation boxes (Section 2.3)
    4. Multicast Routing (Section 2.4)
