Hello, I have sent the above-named personal draft to the IETF repository. It is available for immediate perusal at: http://www.geocities.com/osprey67/neighbor_affiliation-01.txt The document obsoletes both a "-00" draft version of the same posted on 10/25/02 and an earlier document posted on 10/19/02 named "router_affiliation-00.txt". You've all done a great job of withholding your comments up to now, but this will be the last update I send prior to IETF 55; please send any comments you may have based on this version. Abstract appears below: Fred [email protected] Abstract This document proposes extensions to IPv6 Neighbor Discovery for IPv6-over-(foo)-over-IPv4 links, where (foo) is either an encapsulating layer (e.g., UDP) or a NULL layer. It is essentially a lightweight, link-layer mechanism for neighbors to establish security associations, discover and dynamically re-adjust maximum receive unit (MRU) estimates, and perform unreachability detection. The protocol makes no attempt to ensure reliable message delivery; this function is performed by higher-layer protocols, e.g. TCP.
