The IESG has approved the following document: - 'RADIUS attributes for IPv6 Access Networks' (draft-ietf-radext-ipv6-access-16.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the RADIUS EXTensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Benoit Claise and Ronald Bonica. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-radext-ipv6-access/ Technical Summary The I-D defines additional attributes for various IPv6 access network deployments (be that fixes or mobile network). The attributes complement already existing set of IPv6 attributes defined in e.g., RFC3162 and RFC4818. Furthermore, the I-D clarifies the use of some existing IPv6 related attributes and the relationship of those to the newly defined attributes. Working Group Summary The I-D has been discussed extensively in the RADEXT WG and has reached the overall working group consensus. There was a lengthy discussion regarding the Route-IPv6-Information attribute format and whether it should also contain the rest of the RFC4191 Route Information Option field in addition to the prefix. The WG reached a consensus that the other values are local to router configuration and not retrieved from the RADIUS server. Document Quality There is specific interest from the Broadband Forum to incorporate the attributes defined in this specification into their respective IPv6 standards. AAA Doctors have not reviewed the document yet. There is no need for MIB or other doctorate review. Once the document goes to IETF LC, a review from V6OPS should be requested.
