[homenet] support for HNCP in IPv6 CE routers

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

Some of you probably are aware of an attempt to update RFC7084 to a –bis version.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-v6ops-rfc7084-bis/

In this work, it was suggested to me to include HNCP support, so I added this LAN requirement:

L-16:  The IPv6 CE router SHOULD provide HNCP (Home Networking
          Control Protocol) services, as specified in [RFC7788].

However, it seems that the latest decision of v6ops, is “don’t touch RFC7084” and instead make a separate document for the IPv6 transition requirements for IPv6 CE routers, which I updated a few days ago:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-palet-v6ops-rfc7084-bis-transition/

Now, in this version I’ve NOT included the HNCP support as a requirement, however I still mention it as:

The end-user network is a stub network, in the sense that is not
   providing transit to other external networks.  However, HNCP
   ([RFC7788]) allows support for automatic provisioning of downstream
   routers.  Figure 1 illustrates the model topology for the end-user
   network.

Now, the questions I’ve for this WG is:

1) Do you think I should mention other homenet documents ?
2) Do you think we should have a specific homenet document requiring the support of homenet for IPv6 CE routers, so for example this becomes an integral part of testing by ISPs, IPv6 Ready Logo, or even RFQs, etc.?

I will be happy to work in a homenet document if we believe that 2 above is needed. Anyone else interested?

Regards,
Jordi
