Hello: I am reposting this message to solicit working group input on the address selection API draft, as per request of the chairs. Please see the changes from last revision as indicated in the attached mail.
We would like to know if folks in the wg think if this draft should be a working group item ? Thanks, -Samita ------------- Begin Forwarded Message ------------- X-Unix-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Nov 4 14:02:31 2003 Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2003 14:02:19 -0800 (PST) From: Samita Chakrabarti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Address Selection API draft To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-MD5: eHxfkK7voWH0pRCTrZKT3A== X-BeenThere: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.12 List-Unsubscribe: <https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6>, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Id: IP Version 6 Working Group (ipv6) <ipv6.ietf.org> List-Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Subscribe: <https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6>, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A revised version of Address Selection API draft, http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-chakrabarti-ipv6-addrselect-api-02.txt has been published recently. At Vienna IETF, the working group was polled to see if this document should become a WG item - I understand that more people wanted to read the draft to make a final decision. The following updates have been made as per working group input since then: * Added comments on JAVA API which might use this draft as a guideline. (section 1) * A section on design alternatives of API (section 2) * The Address selection API draft now addresses specific destination address selection as well as source address selection. socket option is changed from IPV6_SRC_PREFERENCES to IPV6_ADDR_PREFERENCES (section 4) * Introduced new flags for altering rules of default selection of destination address scope (section 4 and 5) * Discusses application requirement to support this API draft and implementation notes (section 6 and 7) * Discusses the choice of address selection rules from RFC3484 in the context of usefulness of this API (section 8) ---------------------------------------------- Please provide comments on this draft to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list and to the authors (CC'ed). Since it has been identified in the IPv6 group that a API is necessary for application specific control of address selection on a rfc3484 compliant system, the authors like to close any remaining issues on the list and request the working group to take this work as a working group item.
