The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'Default Router Preferences and More-Specific Routes '
<draft-ietf-ipv6-router-selection-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the IP Version 6 Working Group Working Group.
The IESG contact persons are Margaret Wasserman and Mark Townsley.
Technical Summary
 This document describes an optional extension to Router
 Advertisement messages for communicating default router preferences
 and more-specific routes from routers to hosts. This improves the
 ability of hosts to pick an appropriate router, especially when the
 host is multi-homed and the routers are on different links. The
 preference values and specific routes advertised to hosts require
 administrative configuration; they are not automatically derived
 from routing tables.
Working Group Summary
The IPv6 working group has done extensive review of this document and
this document reflects the consensus of the group.
Protocol Quality
This document has been reviewed by members of the ipv6@ietf.org
mailing list and by the working group chairs. This document has been
reviewed for the IESG by Margaret Wasserman.
RFC Editor Note
Dear RFC Editor,
Please make the following change in section 1 (Introduction):
OLD:
This document describes an optional extension to Neighbor Discovery
Router Advertisement messages for communicating default router
preferences and more-specific routes from routers to hosts. This
improves the ability of hosts to pick an appropriate router for an
off-link destination.
NEW:
This document describes an optional extension to Neighbor Discovery
Router Advertisement messages for communicating default router
preferences and more-specific routes from routers to hosts. This
improves the ability of hosts to pick an appropriate router for an
off-link destination.
Note that since these procedures are applicable to hosts only, the
forwarding algorithm used by the routers (including hosts with enabled IP
forwarding) is not affected.
