The IESG has received a request from the Internet Area Working Group WG (intarea) to consider the following document: - 'IPv6 Support for Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE)' <draft-ietf-intarea-gre-ipv6-09.txt> as 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 2015-07-09. 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 Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) can be used to carry any network- layer payload protocol over any network-layer delivery protocol. GRE procedures are specified for IPv4, used as either the payload or delivery protocol. However, GRE procedures are not specified for IPv6. This document specifies GRE procedures for IPv6, used as either the payload or delivery protocol. It updates the GRE specification, RFC 2784. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-intarea-gre-ipv6/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-intarea-gre-ipv6/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
