Re: Last Call: <draft-ietf-6man-flow-3697bis-05.txt> (IPv6 Flow Label Specification) to Proposed Standard

For text in section 10 "Mobility".

First,

Please cite RFC3963 "NEMOv6" in this section. I am a co-author. For example, instead of current:
   Mobile IPv6 [RFC3775] and associated specifications [RFC3776]
   [RFC4877] allow a node to change its point of attachment within the
   Internet, while maintaining (and using) a permanent address.

it could be:
   Mobile IPv6 [RFC3775] and associated specifications [RFC3776] [RFC3963]
   [RFC4877] allow a node to change its point of attachment within the
   Internet, while maintaining (and using) a permanent address.

NEMOv6 implementations are widely available as open source (at least on linux) and actively maintained since some time.

This is _not_ the case for other mobility-related RFC's which _are_ cited.

Second,

It is strange to read this:
   The definition of Mobile IP
   includes requirements for the following types of nodes:
[...]
      - all IPv6 routers

because there is nothing in Mobile IPv6 which requires modifications of all the IPv6 routers. The Internet infrastructure of routers can continue to work as before when deploying Mobile IPv6.

Le 30/06/2011 00:52, The IESG a écrit :

The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Maintenance WG (6man) to
consider the following document:
- 'IPv6 Flow Label Specification'
   <draft-ietf-6man-flow-3697bis-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@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 2011-07-13. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@xxxxxxxx instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


    This document specifies the IPv6 Flow Label field and the minimum
    requirements for IPv6 nodes labeling flows, IPv6 nodes forwarding
    labeled packets, and flow state establishment methods.  Even when
    mentioned as examples of possible uses of the flow labeling, more
    detailed requirements for specific use cases are out of scope for
    this document.

    The usage of the Flow Label field enables efficient IPv6 flow
    classification based only on IPv6 main header fields in fixed
    positions.
