The IESG has received a request from the Internet Area Working Group WG (intarea) to consider the following document: - 'ICMP Extension Header Length Field' <draft-ietf-intarea-icmp-exten-hdr-len-03.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 last-c...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2025-08-12. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The ICMP Extension Structure does not have a length field. Therefore, unless the length of the Extension Structure can be inferred from other data in the ICMP message, the Extension Structure must be the last item in the ICMP message. This document defines a length field for the ICMP Extension Structure. When length information is provided, receivers can use it to parse ICMP messages. Specifically, receivers can use length information to determine the offset at which the item after the ICMP Extension Structure begins. This document updates RFC 4884. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-intarea-icmp-exten-hdr-len/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ Int-area mailing list -- int-area@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to int-area-le...@ietf.org
