The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Maintenance WG (6man) to consider the following document: - 'Duplicate Address Detection Proxy' <draft-ietf-6man-dad-proxy-05.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 i...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-10-03. 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 document describes a mechanism allowing the use of Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) by IPv6 nodes in a point-to-multipoint architecture with "split-horizon" forwarding scheme. Based on the DAD signalling, the first hop router stores in a Binding Table all known IPv6 addresses used on a point-to-multipoint domain (e.g. VLAN). When a node performs DAD for an address already used by another node, the first hop router replies instead of this last one. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-dad-proxy/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-dad-proxy/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
