The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Operations WG (v6ops) to consider the following document: - 'Happy Eyeballs: Success with Dual-Stack Hosts' <draft-ietf-v6ops-happy-eyeballs-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard 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 2011-11-10. 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. Abstract When the IPv4 server and path is working but the IPv6 server or IPv6 path is down, a dual-stack client application experiences significant connection delay compared to an IPv4-only client. This is undesirable because it causes the dual-stack client to have a worse user experience. This document specifies requirements for algorithms that reduce this delay, and provides an example algorithm. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-v6ops-happy-eyeballs/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-v6ops-happy-eyeballs/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
