Relaxing two unnecessary constraints on IID fields

2009-07-27 Thread Rémi Després
Two constraints on IPv6 address formats appear to be unnecessary while prohibiting some designs that are useful to enhance IPv6 benefits: - One concerns addresses that never appear on any IPv6 link. Since only purpose of these addresses is to derive from them some local addresses subject to I

UDP zero checksums and v4 to v6 translators

2009-07-27 Thread Rémi Després
We understand that UDP checksums being optional in IPv4 and mandatory in IPv6 creates a problem for IPv4 to IPv6 translators: (1) To completely translate from v4 to v6 a UDP datagram having a zero checksum, a complete computation of the datagram checksum is necessary. (2) If the datagram has
