The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Maintenance WG (6man) to consider the following document: - 'Limits on Sending and Processing IPv6 Extension Headers' <draft-ietf-6man-eh-limits-16.txt> as Informational RFC
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 2024-12-05. 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 specification defines various limits that may be applied to receiving, sending, and otherwise processing packets that contain IPv6 extension headers. The need for such limits is pragmatic to facilitate interoperability amongst hosts and routers in the presence of extension headers, thereby increasing the feasibility of deployment of extension headers. The limits described herein establish the minimum baseline of support for use of extension headers on the Internet. If it is known that all communicating parties for a particular communication, including destination hosts and any routers in the path, are capable of supporting more than the baseline then these default limits may be freely exceeded. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-eh-limits/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
