The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Maintenance WG (6man) to consider the following document: - 'IPv6 ND PIO Flags IANA considerations' <draft-ietf-6man-ndpioiana-02.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 2018-03-06. 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 Prefix Information Option in the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Router Advertisement defines an 8-bit flag field with two flags defined and the remaining 6 bits reserved (Reserved1). RFC 6275 has defined a new flag from this field without creating a IANA registry or updating RFC 4861. The purpose of this document is to request that IANA to create a new registry for the PIO flags to avoid potential conflict in the use of these flags. This document updates RFC 4861. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-ndpioiana/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-ndpioiana/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
