It is not chartered to develop major changes or additions to the IPv6 specifications. The working group will address protocol limitations/issues discovered during deployment and operation. It will also serve as a venue for discussing the proper location for working on IPv6-related issues within the IETF. The working group's work items are as follows: o Complete work on RA Flags Option o Complete work on RH0 Deprecation o Complete work on IPv6 over PPP Compression Negotiation o Complete work on Centrally Allocated Unique Local Addresses (ULA-C) All new work items not listed above require the approval of the working group and the sponsoring Area Director before they will be taken on by the working group. Goals and Milestones: Done Submit RH0 Deprecation specification to IESG as a Proposed Standard Jan 2008 Submit PPP Compression Negotiation specification to IESG as a Proposed Standard Mar 2008 Determine way forward for ULA-C specification Internet-Drafts: Posted Revised I-D Title ------ ------- -------------------------------------------- Oct 2009 Oct 2011 Considerations for IPv6 Address Selection Policy Changes May 2010 Dec 2011 IPv6 UDP Checksum Considerations Jun 2010 Jan 2012 An uniform format for IPv6 extension headers Jul 2010 Dec 2011 An IPv6 Routing Header for Source Routes with RPL Jul 2010 Dec 2011 RPL Option for Carrying RPL Information in Data-Plane Datagrams Sep 2010 Oct 2011 Update to RFC 3484 Default Address Selection for IPv6 Dec 2010 Oct 2011 The Line Identification Destination Option Mar 2011 Oct 2011 UDP Checksums for Tunneled Packets Nov 2011 Nov 2011 Neighbor Unreachability Detection is too impatient Nov 2011 Dec 2011 RFC3627 to Historic status Request For Comments: RFC Stat Published Title ------- -- ----------- ------------------------------------ RFC5172 PS Mar 2008 Negotiation for IPv6 datagram compression using IPv6 Control Protocol RFC5453 PS Feb 2009 Reserved IPv6 Interface Identifiers RFC5722 PS Dec 2009 Handling of Overlapping IPv6 Fragments RFC5871 PS May 2010 IANA Allocation Guidelines for the IPv6 Routing Header RFC5942 PS Jul 2010 IPv6 Subnet Model: The Relationship between Links and Subnet Prefixes RFC5952 PS Aug 2010 A Recommendation for IPv6 Address Text Representation RFC6106 PS Nov 2010 IPv6 Router Advertisement Options for DNS Configuration RFC6164 PS Apr 2011 Using 127-bit IPv6 Prefixes on Inter-Router Links RFC6436 I Nov 2011 Rationale for Update to the IPv6 Flow Label Specification RFC6437 PS Nov 2011 IPv6 Flow Label Specification RFC6438 PS Nov 2011 Using the IPv6 Flow Label for Equal Cost Multipath Routing and Link Aggregation in Tunnels RFC6434 I Dec 2011 IPv6 Node Requirements
