A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Detecting Network Attachment Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Detecting Network Attachment in IPv6 - Best
Current Practices for hosts.
Author(s) : S. Narayanan, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-dna-hosts-01.txt
Pages : 25
Date : 2005-7-11
Hosts experiencing rapid link-layer changes may require efficient IP
configuration change detection procedures than traditional fixed
hosts. DNA is defined as the process by which a host collects
appropriate information and detects the identity of its currently
attached link to ascertains the validity of its IP configuration.
This document details best current practice for Detecting Network
Attachment in IPv6 hosts using existing Neighbor Discovery
procedures. Since there is no explicit link identification mechanism
in the existing Neighbor Discovery for IP Version 6, the document
describes implicit mechanisms for identifying the current link.

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.
