Tom, > At this > point, I have to trawl through dozens of RFCs looking for this > information There is one good starting point. RFC 4294 lists the different components that are part of IPv6. Yes, there are a few RFCs that have been updated since RFC 4294 was published, but if you retrieve these through the usual tools site, its easy for you to find the last revision. > Have the discussions on m and o bits really finished?

Again, the basics are done and we will not be redesigning ND periodically to suit the fashion of the month or the opinion of the latest participant on the list ;-) We do seriously consider adding things, however. NATPT being one such issue. Possible additional support for managed DHCP networks being another one. It will also never be the case the entire set of specifications for IPv6 (or IPv4 for that matter) is completely free of issues. Learn to live with it.
