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-04.txt> as Proposed Standard

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 2020-09-09. 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

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.
