The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Obsoleting the Endpoint Identifier (EID) Option' <draft-gont-intarea-obsolete-eid-option-01.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 [email protected] mailing lists by 2012-11-01. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document formally deprecates the IPv6 Endpoint Identification (EID) option (hex value 0x8a), thus cleaning up the corresponding IANA registry, and possibly serving as a basis for providing advice about the filtering of packets containing this option. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gont-intarea-obsolete-eid-option/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gont-intarea-obsolete-eid-option/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
