Hi,
I’m posting here as a heads-up that an effort has begun to revise RIPE-554, involving the original authors, myself and Tim Winters. We have a 5 min slot tomorrow in the 1pm CET IPv6 WG session to flag the work, to solicit input.
The original publication was back in November 2010 with RIPE-501, which was updated in June 2012 with RIPE-554.
There’s many references that have been obsoleted, and potentially much to add or remove. References to 2G cellular date the document.
We’d like to begin by addressing the more strategic / structural questions. Such high level questions include:
- Is there agreement to progress a –bis version now? Eight years have passed, people ask for guidance…
I personally think this would be a good idea.
- Should we keep the scope to (largely) enterprise or expand it? If so, to what?
FWIW, I would keep the scope of this document, and span other efforts if necessary (divide and conquer).
- Is the linkage to the IPv6 Ready Logo programme still desired?
IMO, probably not.
- Are there new classes of equipment to add, e.g. IoT/low power, WiFi controllers, …?
I'd probably update the current work and, if necessary, then span other efforts. -- the current docs are dated, and it's probably better to focus on bringing them up to date in a timely manner, than to open the door to all sorts of stuff which might take way more time to finish.
- Are specific sections outdated, or are there significant new sections to add? - Should we add guidance on applying the content to different use cases? As separate docs? Appendices?
I will review the doc and come back with comments. Thanks! Regards, -- Fernando Gont SI6 Networks e-mail: fgont@si6networks.com PGP Fingerprint: 6666 31C6 D484 63B2 8FB1 E3C4 AE25 0D55 1D4E 7492
