The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Options Processing Procedures' (draft-ietf-6man-hbh-processing-20.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Erik Kline and Éric Vyncke. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-hbh-processing/ Technical Summary This document specifies procedures for how IPv6 Hop-by-Hop options are processed in IPv6 routers and hosts. It modifies the procedures specified in the IPv6 Protocol Specification (RFC8200) to make processing of the IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Options header practical with the goal of making IPv6 Hop-by-Hop options useful to deploy and use in the Internet. When published, this document updates RFC8200. Working Group Summary Nothing especially noteworthy (see shepherd write-up). Hop-by-Hop options and how to make them useful elicits many opinions, but overall this work is attempting to make net improvement in the utility of HbH options. Document Quality No specific implementations of these recommended behavioural changes. Many implementations of HbH option processing, in the general case. Several folks, including folks working for router vendors, appear the "Acknowledgements" section. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Jen Linkova. The Responsible Area Director is Erik Kline.
