The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IPv6 Rapid Deployment on IPv4 Infrastructures (6rd) ' <draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd-10.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Softwires Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ralph Droms and Jari Arkko. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd-10.txt Technical Summary This document specifies an automatic tunneling mechanism tailored to advance deployment of IPv6 to end users via a Service Provider's IPv4 network infrastructure. Key aspects include automatic IPv6 prefix delegation to sites, stateless operation, simple provisioning, and service which is equivalent to native IPv6 at the sites which are served by the mechanism. Working Group Summary This document was discussed in depth and well-reviewed. There is some disagreement over small details, but overall WG consensus is strong to publish this document. The details of the DHCP option defined in this document were reviewed by the dhc WG. Document Quality There are multiple, independent, interoperable implementations of this protocol today. One service provider has a large deployment of this protocol, several other service providers have announced plans to deploy or interest in deploying. Personnel Alain Durand (adurand76@comcast.net) and Dave Ward (dward@juniper.net) are the document shepherds. Ralph Droms (rdroms-ietf@gmail.com) is the responsible AD. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
