The IESG has received a request from the Operational Security Capabilities for IP Network Infrastructure WG (opsec) to consider the following document: - 'Recommendations on the Filtering of IPv6 Packets Containing IPv6 Extension Headers at Transit Routers' <draft-ietf-opsec-ipv6-eh-filtering-08.txt> as Informational RFC
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 last-c...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2021-06-28. 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. Note: The WGLC was sent to OpSec, 6MAN and V6OPS to get wider review: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/v6ops/MvzKKTYCDtWVtlIGxb6OfQlUats In addition, this is the second IETF LC for this document. Abstract This document analyzes the security implications of IPv6 Extension Headers and associated IPv6 options. Additionally, it discusses the operational and interoperability implications of discarding packets based on the IPv6 Extension Headers and IPv6 options they contain. Finally, it provides advice on the filtering of such IPv6 packets at transit routers for traffic *not* directed to them, for those cases where such filtering is deemed as necessary. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsec-ipv6-eh-filtering/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ OPSEC mailing list OPSEC@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/opsec
