Dear WG: We received a good set of volunteers to serve as authors in developing a document to provide a solid security analysis of SRv6 [1]. Thank you to all who volunteered!
This is the team the chairs selected: Nick Buraglio Luis Contreras Fernando Gont Tal Mizrahi Tian Tong While, as with any other document, the WG will decide on its adoption and eventual progress, what follows are specifics related to the chairs' expectations: (1) The work will consider SRv6 as specified in RFC8402 (Segment Routing Architecture), RFC8754 (IPv6 Segment Routing Header (SRH)), RFC8986 (Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) Network Programming), and other related RFCs. It should consider security-related topics not covered in those existing RFCs or that may need further coverage. (2) The objective is to identify threats, analyze potential mitigation mechanisms, and highlight gaps that may affect the deployment of SRv6. The proposal of solutions to close any gaps is outside the scope of the document. (3) The document should limit itself to an analysis of SRv6 and not compare it with other technologies. As a first step, the authors will define a high-level outline of the topics to be covered. A description of a threat model is a necessary component. SRv6 security and this document are on the radar of the IESG, making them a high-priority work item for the WG. We expect the work to be progressed, presented, and reviewed in a timely manner, which should include periodic updates and discussions on the list and at in-person and virtual interim meetings (as needed). Thanks!
