The IESG has approved the following document: - 'The IPv6 Compact Routing Header (CRH)' (draft-ietf-6man-comp-rtg-hdr-10.txt) as Experimental RFC
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-comp-rtg-hdr/ Technical Summary This document describes an experiment in which two new IPv6 Routing headers are implemented and deployed. Collectively, they are called the Compact Routing Headers (CRH). Individually, they are called CRH-16 and CRH-32. One purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate that the CRH can be implemented and deployed in a production network. Another purpose is to demonstrate that the security considerations, described in this document, can be addressed with access control lists. Finally, this document encourages replication of the experiment. Working Group Summary There were originally many opinions about potential conflicts with Segment Routing and especially compressed SIDs. That issue was put to rest through 3-4 years of discussions, documents, and design team work. CRH no longer competes with compressed SIDs. Document Quality There are experimental implementations of this Experimental protocol. (See shepherd write-up for more.) Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Bob Hinden. The Responsible Area Director is Erik Kline. IANA Note This document contains requests of IANA that have previously been handled via Early Allocation. Approval of this document would make permanent the existing early allocations. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- ietf-announce@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to ietf-announce-le...@ietf.org
