A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 8883 Title: ICMPv6 Errors for Discarding Packets Due to Processing Limits Author: T. Herbert Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: September 2020 Mailbox: tom@quantonium.net Pages: 15 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-6man-icmp-limits-08.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8883 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8883 Network nodes may discard packets if they are unable to process protocol headers of packets due to processing constraints or limits. When such packets are dropped, the sender receives no indication, so it cannot take action to address the cause of discarded packets. This specification defines several new ICMPv6 errors that can be sent by a node that discards packets because it is unable to process the protocol headers. A node that receives such an ICMPv6 error may use the information to diagnose packet loss and may modify what it sends in future packets to avoid subsequent packet discards. This document is a product of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
