All,
As promised during the IPv6 WG session in Vancouver, this is
my attempt to resolve the open issues with the ICMP Name Lookup
draft. From my review of my e-mail and the mailing list archive, there
are three open issues on the table. I will list each and propose a
resolution to each.
I will accept comments on these changes until 5:00pm on 12/2/05.
After that, I will incorporate the changes and submit the draft.
Issue 1: Restrict operation of the protocol to link-local use.
Resolution:
The consensus is to retain the more flexible multi-hop capability.
An additional sentence or two will be added to the Security
Considerations section recommending the filtering of these
messages at administrative boundaries.
Issue 2: Change multicast range used for Queries.
Resolution:
This change will be made. There will not be a "compatibility"
knob for operation with older implementations. The addition
of such a knob will make operational use too complex. This
should simplify the use, but will require a code change.
Issue 3: Discovery of tunnel endpoints.
Resolution:
This change will be made and will be based on the text proposed
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg05674.html
Regards,
Brian
