The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Operations WG (v6ops) to consider the following document: - 'IPv6 for 3GPP Cellular Hosts' <draft-ietf-v6ops-rfc3316bis-03.txt> as Informational RFC 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 ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-09-02. 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. Abstract As the deployment of third and fourth generation cellular networks progresses, a large number of cellular hosts are being connected to the Internet. Standardization organizations have made Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) mandatory in their specifications. However, the concept of IPv6 covers many aspects and numerous specifications. In addition, the characteristics of cellular links in terms of bandwidth, cost and delay put special requirements on how IPv6 is used. This document considers IPv6 for cellular hosts that attach to the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), or Evolved Packet System (EPS) networks (Hereafter collectively referred to as 3GPP networks). This document also lists out specific IPv6 functionalities that need to be implemented in addition what is already prescribed in the IPv6 Node Requirements document. It also discusses some issues related to the use of these components when operating in these networks. This document obsoletes RFC 3316. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-v6ops-rfc3316bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-v6ops-rfc3316bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
