The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Fibre Channel '
<draft-ietf-imss-ipv6-over-fibre-channel-02.txt> as a Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Internet and Management Support for
Storage Working Group.
The IESG contact persons are Bert Wijnen and David Kessens.
Technical Summary
This document specifies the way of encapsulating IPv6 packets over
Fibre Channel, and the method of forming IPv6 link-local addresses
and statelessly autoconfigured addresses on Fibre Channel networks.
Working Group Summary
The initial WG Last Call resulted in a number (19) of Editorial
comments and 2 Technical comments. The technical comments were
as follows:
- Use of a default large MTU size (65280 octets) for IPv6 over
Fibre Channel, which far exceeds the message sizes typically
used in the Internet. As a result, an explanation has been
added with additional guidance. See section 5.
- An inconsistency in the format of the Source/Target Link-layer
Address option (used with Neighbor Discovery Protocol). This
has been corrected in the 01 revision.
- Further changes were made because of IESG review which resulted
in revision 02.
The working group has consensus to publish revision 02 of this
document as a standards track RFC.
Protocol Quality
This document was reviewed for the IESG by Margaret Wasserman and
Bert Wijnen. Additional/explicit review was also requested from
the IPv6 Working Group.
