The IESG has received a request from the Routing Over Low power and Lossy networks WG (roll) to consider the following document: - 'Using RPL Option Type, Routing Header for Source Routes and IPv6-in- IPv6 encapsulation in the RPL Data Plane' <draft-ietf-roll-useofrplinfo-25.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 2019-04-11. 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 This document looks at different data flows through LLN (Low-Power and Lossy Networks) where RPL (IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks) is used to establish routing. The document enumerates the cases where RFC 6553 (RPL Option Type), RFC 6554 (Routing Header for Source Routes) and IPv6-in-IPv6 encapsulation is required in data plane. This analysis provides the basis on which to design efficient compression of these headers. This document updates RFC 6553 adding a change to the RPL Option Type. Additionally, this document updates RFC 6550 to indicate about this change and updates RFC8138 as well to consider the new Option Type when RPL Option is decompressed. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-roll-useofrplinfo/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-roll-useofrplinfo/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
