The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Textual Conventions for IPv6 Flow Label' <draft-ietf-ops-ipv6-flowlabel-01.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document is not the product of an IETF Working Group, but has been reviewed in the IETF. The IESG contact persons are Randy Bush and Bert Wijnen. Technical Summary This document contains a MIB module that defines textual conventions to represent the commonly used IPv6 Flow Label. The intent is that these textual conventions (TCs) will be imported and used in MIB modules that might otherwise define their own representations. Working Group Summary Several WGs have defined standards-track MIB modules that define objects to represent an IPv6 Flow Label (sometimes refered to as Flow ID) and IPv6 Flow Label filters. Unfortunately the result has been a set of different definitions for the same piece of management information. This may lead to confusion and unneeded complexity. This document was produced within the Operations and Management area to provide a few common TCs for future use. Protocol Quality This document is an individual submission from within the Operations and Management area. It was reviewed and discussed on various WG mailing lists (e.g. mibs@ops.ietf.org, diffserv, rap). It also had a 4-week IETF Last Call. It has been further reviewed for the IESG by Randy Bush.
