The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Packet loss resiliency for Router Solicitations' (draft-ietf-6man-resilient-rs-06.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Brian Haberman and Terry Manderson. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-resilient-rs/ Technical Summary When an interface on a host is initialized, the host transmits Router Solicitations in order to minimize the amount of time it needs to wait until the next unsolicited multicast Router Advertisement is received. In certain scenarios, router solicitations transmitted by the host might be lost. This document specifies a mechanism for hosts to cope with the loss of the initial Router Solicitations. Working Group Summary The initial revision of this work was published in July 2012. There is a strong consensus that this solves a real problem. Document Quality The 6man working group appoints reviewers for all documents being advanced to the IESG. This document has been reviewed in detail by 6man reviewers, and it has had extensive discussion on the mailing list. Personnel Document Shepherd: Ole Troan Responsible Area Director: Brian Haberman
