Technical Summary


 This memo specifies the MTU and frame format for transmission of IPv6
 packets on FDDI networks, including a method for MTU determination in
 the presence of 802.1d bridges to other media. It also specifies the
 method of forming IPv6 link-local addresses on FDDI networks and the
 content of the Source/Target Link-layer Address option used the the
 Router Solicitation, Router Advertisement, Neighbor Solicitation, and
 Neighbor Advertisement messages described in IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
 when those messages are transmitted on an FDDI network.

Working Group Summary

 Working Group Last-Call produced no issues with this proposal. The
 document was revised based on comments received during IESG
