The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Operations WG (v6ops) to consider the following document: - 'Improving the Reaction of Customer Edge Routers to Renumbering Events' <draft-ietf-v6ops-cpe-slaac-renum-06.txt> as Best Current Practice The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2021-01-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. This is the second IETF LC for this document -- it was originally LCed as Informational. IESG Eval suggested that it was more BCP-like, and so the document was returned to the V6OPS WG, and re-WGLCed as BCP. It is now being IETF LCed as BCP, and will then go through IESG Eval again.... and the process-elves rejoice... Abstract In scenarios where network configuration information becomes invalid without any explicit signaling of that condition (such as when a Customer Edge Router crashes and reboots without knowledge of the previously-employed configuration information), hosts on the local network will continue using stale network configuration information for an unacceptably long period of time, thus resulting in connectivity problems. This document specifies improvements to Customer Edge Routers that help mitigate the aforementioned problem for typical residential and small office scenarios. This document updates RFC7084. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-v6ops-cpe-slaac-renum/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references. See RFC 3967 for additional information: rfc4191: Default Router Preferences and More-Specific Routes (Proposed Standard - IETF stream) rfc4861: Neighbor Discovery for IP version 6 (IPv6) (Draft Standard - IETF stream) rfc4862: IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (Draft Standard - IETF stream) rfc8106: IPv6 Router Advertisement Options for DNS Configuration (Proposed Standard - IETF stream) rfc8415: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) (Proposed Standard - IETF stream)
