The IESG has received a request from the Port Control Protocol WG (pcp) to consider the following document: - 'Port Control Protocol (PCP) Anycast Addresses' <draft-ietf-pcp-anycast-06.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2015-06-11. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Port Control Protocol (PCP) Anycast Addresses enable PCP clients to transmit signaling messages to their closest PCP-aware on-path NAT, Firewall, or other middlebox, without having to learn the IP address of that middlebox via some external channel. This document establishes one well-known IPv4 address and one well-known IPv6 address to be used as PCP Anycast Addresses. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pcp-anycast/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pcp-anycast/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
