Hi John, Eric and George, As discussed with John and others more than a couple of months back, I have worked to put the distinct requirements of X.500 for Internet Code Point (ICP) for encoding an IPv6 address in an NSAP Address in another draft. I had submitted this draft to IETF Dec-05. This draft can be accessed via : http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-pandey-osidirectory-ipv6-nsapa-format-00.txt
Please do review the same. Ideally the new format specified for X.500 in the above draft (with suitable comments incorporated) would be good to be considered for inclusion in rfc1888bis. Best Regards Arun Pandey -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gray, Eric Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 3:02 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: Internet Draft rfc1888bis Folks, The Internet Area Directors asked me to announce this ID to the IPv6 Working Group. Please do not be misled by the title, it is not an attempt to resurrect RFC 1888 in its entirety. The ID represents an extraction of section 6 of RFC 1888 - which defines an Internet Code Point (ICP) for encoding an IPv6 address in an NSAP Address - as well as adding an Internet Code Point for a similar encoding of IPv4 addresses. The draft also defines a process for further assignments from the IANA controlled NSAP Address space that begins with an Address Format and Identifier (AFI) of 0x35. As such, the ID re-asserts a previously defined way to use IPv6 addresses and extends this definition to include a similar use of IPv4 addresses. It does not attempt to define or modify the general use of these IPv6 and IPv4 addresses and does not affect IP addressing architecture in general. The draft is 10 pages long and is available at: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gray-rfc1888bis-00.txt The draft was available prior to last week's meeting, but was not discussed because of: 1) insufficient notice to the WG Chair and Area Directors and 2) insufficient time during the WG meeting. -- Eric Gray -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
