The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 over Networks of Resource-constrained Nodes WG (6lo) to consider the following document: - 'Assignment of an Ethertype for IPv6 with LoWPAN Encapsulation' <draft-ietf-6lo-ethertype-request-01.txt> as Informational RFC 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 ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-07-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract When carried over layer 2 technologies such as Ethernet, IPv6 datagrams using LoWPAN encapsulation as defined in RFC 4944 must be identified so the receiver can correctly interpret the encoded IPv6 datagram. This document requests the assignment of an Ethertype for that purpose. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6lo-ethertype-request/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6lo-ethertype-request/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
