The IESG has received a request from the Internet Area Working Group WG (intarea) to consider the following document: - 'IP Fragmentation Considered Fragile' <draft-ietf-intarea-frag-fragile-12.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 2019-07-04. 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 describes IP fragmentation and explains how it introduces fragility to Internet communication. This document also proposes alternatives to IP fragmentation and provides recommendations for developers and network operators. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-intarea-frag-fragile/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-intarea-frag-fragile/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references.
