The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Maintenance WG (6man) to consider the following document: - 'IPv6 Flow Label Specification' <draft-ietf-6man-flow-3697bis-05.txt> as a 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 i...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-07-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies the IPv6 Flow Label field and the minimum requirements for IPv6 nodes labeling flows, IPv6 nodes forwarding labeled packets, and flow state establishment methods. Even when mentioned as examples of possible uses of the flow labeling, more detailed requirements for specific use cases are out of scope for this document. The usage of the Flow Label field enables efficient IPv6 flow classification based only on IPv6 main header fields in fixed positions. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-flow-3697bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-flow-3697bis/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
