The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Default Router Preferences and More-Specific Routes ' <draft-ietf-ipv6-router-selection-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the IP Version 6 Working Group Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Margaret Wasserman and Mark Townsley. Technical Summary  This document describes an optional extension to Router  Advertisement messages for communicating default router preferences  and more-specific routes from routers to hosts. This improves the  ability of hosts to pick an appropriate router, especially when the  host is multi-homed and the routers are on different links. The  preference values and specific routes advertised to hosts require  administrative configuration; they are not automatically derived  from routing tables. Working Group Summary The IPv6 working group has done extensive review of this document and this document reflects the consensus of the group. Protocol Quality This document has been reviewed by members of the ipv6@ietf.org mailing list and by the working group chairs. This document has been reviewed for the IESG by Margaret Wasserman. RFC Editor Note Dear RFC Editor, Please make the following change in section 1 (Introduction): OLD: This document describes an optional extension to Neighbor Discovery Router Advertisement messages for communicating default router preferences and more-specific routes from routers to hosts. This improves the ability of hosts to pick an appropriate router for an off-link destination. NEW: This document describes an optional extension to Neighbor Discovery Router Advertisement messages for communicating default router preferences and more-specific routes from routers to hosts. This improves the ability of hosts to pick an appropriate router for an off-link destination. Note that since these procedures are applicable to hosts only, the forwarding algorithm used by the routers (including hosts with enabled IP forwarding) is not affected. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
