Title : Out With the Old and In With the New: Planning for Protocol Transitions
Author : Dave Thaler
Filename : draft-iab-protocol-transitions-01.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 2016-03-21
Abstract:
Over the many years since the introduction of the Internet Protocol,
we have seen a number of transitions, throughout the protocol stack,
from one protocol or technology to another. Many protocols and
technologies were not designed to enable smooth transition to
alternatives or to easily deploy extensions, and thus some
transitions, such as the introduction of IPv6, have been difficult.
This document attempts to summarize some basic principles to enable
future transitions, and also summarizes what makes for a good
transition plan.
