A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Home Networking Working Group of the IETF. Title : Home Networking Architecture for IPv6 Author(s) : Tim Chown Jari Arkko Anders Brandt Ole Troan Jason Weil Filename : draft-ietf-homenet-arch-05.txt Pages : 43 Date : 2012-10-19 Abstract: This text describes evolving networking technology within increasingly large residential home networks. The goal of this document is to define an architecture for IPv6-based home networking, while describing the associated principles, considerations and requirements. The text briefly highlights the specific implications of the introduction of IPv6 for home networking, discusses the elements of the architecture, and suggests how standard IPv6 mechanisms and addressing can be employed in home networking. The architecture describes the need for specific protocol extensions for certain additional functionality. It is assumed that the IPv6 home network is not actively managed, and runs as an IPv6-only or dual- stack network. There are no recommendations in this text for the IPv4 part of the network.
