The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Transmission of IPv6, IPv4 and ARP Packets over Fibre Channel ' <draft-ietf-imss-ip-over-fibre-channel-03.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document obsoletes RFC2625 and RFC3831. 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. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-imss-ip-over-fibre-channel-03.txt Technical Summary This document specifies the encapsulation of IPv6, IPv4 and ARP packets over Fibre Channel. This document also specifies the methods for forming IPv6 link-local addresses and statelessly autoconfigured IPv6 addresses on Fibre Channel networks, and a mechanism to perform IPv4 address resolution over Fibre Channel networks. This document (when published as RFC) obsoletes RFC2625 and RFC3831. Working Group Summary This document has been reviewed by Fibre Channel experts in Technical Committee T11 (Fibre Channel standards organization) in addition to members of the IMSS WG. There is solid support for this document both in the WG and from T11. Protocol Quality This document replaces and consolidates two separate RFCs on IPv4 over Fibre Channel (RFC 2625) and IPv6 over Fibre Channel (RFC 3831). Most of its technical content is unchanged from those RFCs. The technical changes that have been made are primarily based on implementation experience. The protocol has been reviewed for the IESG by David L. Black (WG chair). Also Bert Wijnen has reviewed this document for the IESG. In addition, Brian Haberman has done a review for the INT Area as requested by WG-chair (David Black) via Margaret Wasserman.
