The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'IANA Allocation Guidelines for the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)' <draft-arkko-arp-iana-rules-05.txt> as an Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2008-12-29. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. This is a second Last Call. The IESG would in particular like to draw your attention to the following two issues. Impact to specifications other than ARP: Earlier reviews and a search of the RFC series have uncovered a number of uses of the ARP values in other protocols, including specialized forms of ARP for certain link layers, DHCP, and one DNS Resource Record. The IANA rules for ARP will also affect the use of these numbers in these other protocols, and as a result the document updates several other RFCs. Downref notice: Two of the normative references are to Informational RFCs (RFC 1329 and RFC 2176). The normative reference was needed as this document updates the IANA rules relating to these RFCs. The file can be obtained via http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-arkko-arp-iana-rules-04.txt IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi?command=view_id&dTag=17805&rfc_flag=0 _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
