The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Negotiation for IPv6 datagram compression using IPv6 Control Protocol ' <draft-ietf-ipv6-compression-nego-v2-02.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Jari Arkko and Mark Townsley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipv6-compression-nego-v2-02.txt Technical Summary The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method of encapsulating Network Layer protocol information over point-to-point links. PPP also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, and proposes a family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols. The IPv6 Control Protocol (IPv6CP), which is an NCP for a PPP link, allows for the negotiation of desirable parameters for the IPv6 interface over PPP. This specification defines the compression parameter for use in IPv6 datagram compression over PPP. Working Group Summary This document was created as a result of WG discussion on advancing IPv6-over-PPP to Draft Standard. The shepherd's view is that this document has strong consensus in the WG. Protocol Quality This document has been reviewed by members of the IPv6 working group, the IPv6 working group chairs, and the chair of the PPPEXT working group. Jari Arkko has reviewed this specification for the IESG. The specification has also once already been in the IESG review in 2007, and was returned due to the need to separate the parts that advance to DS and these parts (that do not satisfy the DS advancement criteria). Note to RFC Editor Remove text from Section 2.1 as follows: OLD: [14] for IPv6 Header Compression (004f), And remove reference [14]. Replace the IANA Considerations section with the following text: No specific action is needed for the assignment of a value for the Type field of IPv6 datagram compression option specified in this specification. The current assignment is up-to-date in the registry "PPP IPV6CP CONFIGURATION OPTIONS " for item IPv6-Compression-Protocol (2) at [4]. However, the RFC reference for that item should be changed to XXXX (the RFC number for this RFC). No action is needed either for the assignment of the IPV6-Compression-Protocol values, as such values have already been defined by other documents listed in Section 2.1. Values for this field are always the same as the PPP Data Link Layer Protocol field values for that same compression protocol. As a result, future allocation of these values is governed by RFC 3818 [8] that requires IETF Consensus. Current values are are in the registry "IPv6-Compression-Protocol Types". However, the RFC reference for that registry should be changed to XXXX (the RFC number for this RFC). Please add a new section after the IANA Considerations section: X. Management Considerations From an operational point of view the status of the negotiation and the compression algorithm on the link should be observable by an operator managing a network. There is no standard management interface that covers this at the time of the writing of this specification. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org http://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
