August 2001 00:58 An: ipng@sunroof.eng.sun.com Betreff: W.G. Last Call on "IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture" This is a short IPng working group last call for comments on advancing the following document as an Draft Standard: Title : IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture Author(s) : B. Hinden, S. Deering Filename : draft-ietf-ipngwg-addr-arch-v3-06.txt Pages : 27 Date : 19-Jul-01 A complete list of changes from RFC-2373 is in Appendix B of the draft and is reproduced below. Please send substantive comments to the ipng mailing list, and minor editorial comments to the authors. This last call period will end one week from today on August 31, 2001. We are doing a short w.g. last call because there have been earlier w.g. and IETF last calls on this document and wanted to insure that the changes in the current draft has been reviewed by the w.g. Bob Hinden / Steve Deering -------------------------------------------------------------------------- APPENDIX B: Changes from RFC-2373 --------------------------------- The following changes were made from RFC-2373 "IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture": - Many small changes to clarify and make the text more consistent. - Revised sections 2.4 and 2.5.6 to simplify and clarify how different address types are identified. This was done to insure that implementations do not build in any knowledge about global unicast format prefixes. Changes include: o Removed Format Prefix (FP) terminology o Revised list of address types only includes exceptions to global unicast and a singe entry that identifies everything else as Global Unicast. o Removed list of defined prefix exceptions from section 2.5.6 as it is now the main part of section 2.4. - Clarified text relating to EUI-64 identifiers to distinguish between IPv6's "Modified EUI-64 format" identifiers and IEEE EUI-64 identifiers. - Combined the sections on the Global Unicast Addresses and NSAP Addresses into a single section on Global Unicast Addresses, generalized the Global Unicast format, and cited [AGGR] and [NSAP] as examples. - Reordered sections 2.5.4 and 2.5.5. - Removed section 2.7.2 Assignment of New IPv6 Multicast Addresses because this is being redefined elsewhere. - Added an IANA considerations section that updates the IANA IPv6 address allocations and documents the NSAP and AGGR allocations. - Added clarification that the "IPv4-compatible IPv6 address" must use global IPv4 unicast addresses. - Divided references in to normative and non-normative sections. - Added reference to [PRIV] in section 2.5.1 - Revised section 2.4 Address Type Representation to - Added clarification that routers must not forward multicast packets outside of the scope indicated in the multicast address. - Added clarification that routers must not forward packets with source address of the unspecified address. - Added clarification that routers must drop packets received on an interface with destination address of loopback. - Clarified the definition of IPv4-mapped addresses. - Removed the ABNF Description of Text Representations Appendix. - Removed the address block reserved for IPX addresses. - Multicast scope changes: o Changed name of scope value 1 from "node-local" to "interface- local" o Defined scope value 3 for "subnet-local" for multi-link subnets o Defined scope value 4 as "admin-local" - Corrected reference to RFC1933 and updated references. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to majordomo@sunroof.eng.sun.com --------------------------------------------------------------------
