Hi OPS/INT,

There are many proposals to extend ICMP/ICMPv6 with new features, but we la=
ck on overall discussion about which operational issues some of the proposa=
ls are solving. There are also questions about deployabiliy of some of thes=
e extensions.

With that in mind, we will be scheduling a slot in IETF#126 OPSAREA Meeting=
 to expose these ICMP-related work to the OPS community by providing a big =
picture of various extensions, highlighting the operational issues addresse=
d by the extensions, and discuss deployability challenges of some of these =
extensions. This is also an opportunity to seek for feedback from operators=
. The discussion may also assess if some guidance about extending ICMP/ICMP=
v6, while taking into account deployment matters, may be useful.

Ron kindly accepted to lead that discussion (thanks!). Feel free to use thi=
s thread to share your thoughts or reach out Ron if you want to contribute =
to the material that will be presented by Ron.

Cheers,
Med
