Document: draft-ietf-intarea-extended-icmp-nodeid-?? Reviewer: Gyan Mishra Review Date: 2026-09-13 IETF LC End Date: 2026-09-22 IESG Telechat date: 2026-10-08 Summary: RFC5837 describes a mechanism for Extending ICMP for Interface and Next-Hop Identification, which allows providing additional information in an ICMP error that helps identify interfaces participating in the path. This is especially useful in environments where a given interface may not have a unique IP address to respond to, e.g., a traceroute. This document introduces a similar ICMP extension for Node Identification. It allows providing a unique IP address and/or a textual name for the node, in the case where each node may not have a unique IP address (e.g., a deployment in which all interfaces have IPv6 addresses and all next-hops are IPv6 next-hops, even for IPv4 routes). The draft is ready for publication.
