The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Maintenance WG (6man) to consider the following document: - 'IPv6 ND PIO Flags IANA considerations' <draft-ietf-6man-ndpioiana-02.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 2018-03-06. 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 The Prefix Information Option in the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Router Advertisement defines an 8-bit flag field with two flags defined and the remaining 6 bits reserved (Reserved1). RFC 6275 has defined a new flag from this field without creating a IANA registry or updating RFC 4861. The purpose of this document is to request that IANA to create a new registry for the PIO flags to avoid potential conflict in the use of these flags. This document updates RFC 4861. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-ndpioiana/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-ndpioiana/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
