The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5952, "A Recommendation for IPv6 Address Text Representation".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5952&eid=2872 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Richard J. Smith <rjsmi...@cisco.com> Section: 5 Original Text ------------- For these addresses, mixed notation is RECOMMENDED if the following condition is met: the address can be distinguished as having IPv4 addresses embedded in the lower 32 bits solely from the address field through the use of a well-known prefix. Corrected Text -------------- For these addresses, mixed notation is RECOMMENDED if the following conditions are met: the address can be distinguished as having IPv4 addresses embedded in the lower 32 bits solely from the address field through the use of a well-known prefix, and the entire address is not either the unspecified IPv6 address "::" or the loopback IPv6 address "::1". Notes ----- RFC-4291 defines the 80-bit all-zeros prefix as indicating an "IPv4-compatible IPv6 address". Without further clarification in section 5 of RFC-5952, the recommended formatting of the IPv6 unspecified address would be "::0.0.0.0", and the recommended formatting of the IPv6 loopback address would be "::0.0.0.1". Neither of these recommended representations is desirable. Instructions: ------------- This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG) can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary. -------------------------------------- RFC5952 (draft-ietf-6man-text-addr-representation-07) -------------------------------------- Title : A Recommendation for IPv6 Address Text Representation Publication Date : August 2010 Author(s) : S.
