Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-chakrabarti-nordmark-6man-efficient-nd-05.txt

[Erik Nordmark <[e-mail]>]

Samita has already outlined some of the changes we have been making 
based on the feedback from the list.

In addition this version has significant editorial changes based on the 
feedback, and also more detail for the host and router behavior.

It also addresses some additional technical issues that have been 
raised, notable how it works with VRRP and the routers being a SPoF. 
Those are handled with a new Registrar Address Option which can be 
included in RAs.

Abstract:
    IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (RFC 4861 going back to RFC 1970) was defined
    at a time when link-local multicast was as reliable and with the same
    network cost (send a packet on a yellow-coax Ethernet) as unicast and
    where the hosts were assumed to be always on and connected.

    Since 1996 we've seen a significant change with both an introduction
    of wireless networks and battery operated devices, which poses
    significant challenges for the old assumptions.  We are also seeing
    datacenter networks where virtual machines are not always on and
    connected, and scaling of multicast can be challenging.

    This specification contains extensions to IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
    which remove most use of multicast and make sleeping hosts more
    efficient.  The specification includes a default mixed mode where a
    link can have an arbitrary mix of hosts and/or routers - some
    implementing legacy Neighbor Discovery and some implementing the
    optimizations in this specification.  The optimizations provide
    incremental benefits to hosts as soon as the first updated routers
    are deployed on a link.

                                                                                   


Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
