The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Maintenance WG (6man) to consider the following document: - 'ICMPv6 errors for discarding packets due to processing limits' <draft-ietf-6man-icmp-limits-07.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 2020-02-25. 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 Network nodes may discard packets if they are unable to process protocol headers of packets due to processing constraints or limits. When such packets are dropped, the sender receives no indication so it cannot take action to address the cause of discarded packets. This specification defines several new ICMPv6 errors that can be sent by a node that discards packets because it is unable to process the protocol headers. A node that receives such an ICMPv6 error may be able to modify what it sends in future packets to avoid subsequent packet discards. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-icmp-limits/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-icmp-limits/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
