Title: Using RPI Option Type, Routing Header for Source Routes, and IPv6-in-IPv6 Encapsulation in the RPL Data Plane Author: M.I. Robles, M. Richardson, P. Thubert Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: April 2021 Mailbox: mariainesrob...@gmail.com, mcr+i...@sandelman.ca, pthub...@cisco.com Pages: 49 Updates: RFC 6553, RFC 6550, RFC 8138 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-roll-useofrplinfo-44.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9008 DOI: 10.17487/RFC9008 This document looks at different data flows through Low-Power and Lossy Networks (LLN) where RPL (IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks) is used to establish routing. The document enumerates the cases where RPL Packet Information (RPI) Option Type (RFC 6553), RPL Source Route Header (RFC 6554), and IPv6-in-IPv6 encapsulation are required in the data plane. This analysis provides the basis upon which to design efficient compression of these headers. This document updates RFC 6553 by adding a change to the RPI Option Type. Additionally, this document updates RFC 6550 by defining a flag in the DODAG Information Object (DIO) Configuration option to indicate this change and updates RFC 8138 as well to consider the new Option Type when the RPL Option is decompressed. This document is a product of the Routing Over Low power and Lossy networks Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
