The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Operations WG (v6ops) to consider the following document: - 'Improving the Reaction of Customer Edge Routers to Renumbering Events' <draft-ietf-v6ops-cpe-slaac-renum-06.txt> as Best Current Practice
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 2021-01-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. This is the second IETF LC for this document -- it was originally LCed as Informational. IESG Eval suggested that it was more BCP-like, and so the document was returned to the V6OPS WG, and re-WGLCed as BCP. It is now being IETF LCed as BCP, and will then go through IESG Eval again.... and the process-elves rejoice... Abstract In scenarios where network configuration information becomes invalid without any explicit signaling of that condition (such as when a Customer Edge Router crashes and reboots without knowledge of the previously-employed configuration information), hosts on the local network will continue using stale network configuration information for an unacceptably long period of time, thus resulting in connectivity problems. This document specifies improvements to Customer Edge Routers that help mitigate the aforementioned problem for typical residential and small office scenarios. This document updates RFC7084. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-v6ops-cpe-slaac-renum/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references.
