Title : Detecting Network Attachment in IPv6 Networks (DNAv6)
Author(s) : S. Narayanan, et al.
Filename : draft-pentland-dna-protocol-00.txt
Pages : 25
Date : 2005-5-5
Efficient detection of network attachment in IPv6 needs the following
two components: a method for the host to query routers on the link to
identify the link (Link Identification) and a method for the routers
on the link to consistently respond to such a query with minimal
delay (Fast RA). Solving the link identification based strictly on
RFC 2461 is difficult because of the flexibilities offered to routers
in terms of prefixes advertised in a router advertisement (RA)
message. Similarly, the random delay in responding to router
solicitation messages imposed by RFC 2461 makes to it difficult to
achive fast RA. A known set of solutions to these two problems were
identified and catalogued by the DNA design team. In this memo, an
integrated solution is presented, based on a sub-set of the
catalogued solutions. This integrated solution consolidates most of
the advantages of all known solutions while addressing most of the
disadvantages.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
