IESG Telechat date: (if known) -
Summary: This document is almost ready for the IESG. I have a couple of
essentially editorial comments below.
Comments:
s3: "IPv6 nodes **MUST NOT process** RH0 in packets whose destination address in the IPv6
header is an address assigned to them. Such packets...": The rest of the section then goes on
to describe just how the node processes the header! I think it should say something like: "An
IPv6 node that receives a packet with a destination address assigned to it and containing an RH0
extension header MUST NOT execute the algorithm specified in the latter part of Section 4.4 of
[RFC2460] for RH0. Instead such packets..."
s4.2, para 1: The abbreviation RH is not defined (only RH0) so s/type-2 RH/type
2 Routing Header/
Discussion:
This document accurately reflects the consensus that was reached in the
community but there was considerable discussion about the appropriate course of
action having discovered the issue. I think that a short appendix noting the
alternative ways forward and the reasons for not taking them would have been
useful to avoid revisiting the discussion in future.
