The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Maintenance WG (6man) to consider the following document: - 'Default Address Selection for Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)' <draft-ietf-6man-rfc3484bis-05.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 ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-06-15. 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 This document describes two algorithms, one for source address selection and one for destination address selection. The algorithms specify default behavior for all Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) implementations. They do not override choices made by applications or upper-layer protocols, nor do they preclude the development of more advanced mechanisms for address selection. The two algorithms share a common context, including an optional mechanism for allowing administrators to provide policy that can override the default behavior. In dual stack implementations, the destination address selection algorithm can consider both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses - depending on the available source addresses, the algorithm might prefer IPv6 addresses over IPv4 addresses, or vice-versa. Default address selection as defined in this specification applies to all IPv6 nodes, including both hosts and routers. This document obsoletes RFC 3484. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-rfc3484bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-rfc3484bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
