The IESG has received a request from the Layer Two Tunneling Protocol Extensions WG (l2tpext) to consider the following document: - 'Keyed IPv6 Tunnel' <draft-ietf-l2tpext-keyed-ipv6-tunnel-07.txt> as Proposed Standard 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 2016-10-28. 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 This document describes an Ethernet over IPv6 tunnel encapsulation with mandatory 64-bit cookie for connecting L2 Ethernet attachment circuits identified by IPv6 addresses. The encapsulation is based on L2TPv3 over IP and does not use the L2TPv3 control plane. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-l2tpext-keyed-ipv6-tunnel/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-l2tpext-keyed-ipv6-tunnel/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
