The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Support for adjustable maximum router lifetimes per-link' (draft-ietf-6man-maxra-04.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Suresh Krishnan and Terry Manderson. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-maxra/ Technical Summary The neighbor discovery protocol specifies the maximum time allowed between sending unsolicited multicast Router Advertisements from a router interface as well as the maximum router lifetime. It also allows the limits to be overridden by link-layer specific documents. This document allows for overriding these values on a per-link basis. Working Group Summary There is support for this document in the 6MAN working group. Several issues were raised during the w.g. last call. These issues are resolved in the current draft. There is a concensus to advance this document. Document Quality The quality of the document is good, it has received adequate review in the working group on the mailing list and at several 6man sessions at IETF meetings. Personnel Document Shepherd: Bob Hinden Responsible AD: Terry Manderson RFC Editor Note Please make the following change to the abstract OLD: This document allows for overriding these values on a per-link basis. NEW: This document allows for overriding these values on a per-link basis. This document specifies updates to the RFC4861 IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol for increasing the the maximum time allowed between sending unsolicited multicast Router Advertisements (RA) from a router interface as well as for the maximum router lifetime.
