Dear participants to 6man group, We just submitted "Prefix Delegation extension to Neighbor Discovery protocol" draft-kaiser-nd-pd-00 available at: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kaiser-nd-pd-00
The context is vehicular environments, the goal to realize IP vehicle-to-vehicle-to-infrastructure communications. We had several problems to solve before materializing IP connectivity between vehicles and up to infrastructure: which IPv6 addresses to use in a disconnected vehicle, how would one Internet-connected vehicle offer access to several IP devices in a nearby non-SIM-but-WiFi vehicle, etc. To solve the latter, we started by using existing ND, DHCP and Mobile IP protocols and realized that some mechanisms were missing. Some of the needed mechanism was Prefix Delegation in ND (even though ND does offer default route, address auto-config, _is_ widely available, etc.) Hence we conceived this PD method for ND which is just one part of a bigger system. We have prototyped and experimented it. We would like the 6man group to consider this draft. Comments about the idea in this draft? About the problem? Thanks in advance, Alex
A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Prefix Delegation extension to Neighbor Discovery protocol Author(s) : Arnaud Kaiser Sylvain Decremps Alexandru Petrescu Filename : draft-kaiser-nd-pd-00.txt Pages : 24 Date : 2012-10-15 Abstract: This document describes an extension to the Neighbor Discovery protocol (ND). The proposed extension enhances ND by providing it a new option: the Prefix Delegation option (ND_PD). ND_PD offers the possibility for a router to ask for prefixes to be delegated, even if no DHCPv6 Server (or Relay) are present on link.
