Nordmark, A. Yourtchenko Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: February 2018 Mailbox: suresh@kaloom.com, jouni.nospam@gmail.com, samita.chakrabarti@verizon.com, nordmark@acm.org, ayourtch@cisco.com Pages: 7 Characters: 12760 Updates: RFC 4861 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-6man-maxra-04.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8319 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8319 The IPv6 Neighbor Discovery protocol specifies the maximum time allowed between sending unsolicited multicast Router Advertisements (RAs) from a router interface as well as the maximum router lifetime. It also allows the limits to be overridden by documents that are specific to the link layer. This document allows for overriding these values on a per-link basis. This document specifies updates to the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (RFC 4861) to increase the maximum time allowed between sending unsolicited multicast RAs from a router interface as well as to increase the maximum router lifetime. This document is a product of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
