Hi,
The RFC3697bis draft has been updated again, principally to resolve
the remaining points raised by Thomas Narten and the point raised
by Ran Atkinson. The rationale draft (draft-carpenter-6man-flow-update)
has been updated to keep it in step (for example, some additional
references for firewall issues have been added, and it explains why
3697bis no longer uses the word "immutable".) The authors believe that
all significant issues have been dealt with.
The summary of changes in 3697bis is:
o Suggested a specific hash algorithm to generate a flow label.
o Removed reference to stateful domain.
o Added text about covert channel and tuned text about firewall
behavior; removed the confusing word "immutable".
o Added that Section 6 of RFC 2460 is replaced.
o Editorial fixes.
There were no open issues on the ECMP-LAG draft, so that has not been
updated. You can find all three drafts at:
