The IESG has received a request from the Operational Security Capabilities for IP Network Infrastructure WG (opsec) to consider the following document: - 'Operational Security Considerations for IPv6 Networks' <draft-ietf-opsec-v6-24.txt> as Informational RFC 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 last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2021-03-23. 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 Knowledge and experience on how to operate IPv4 securely is available: whether it is the Internet or an enterprise internal network. However, IPv6 presents some new security challenges. RFC 4942 describes the security issues in the protocol, but network managers also need a more practical, operations-minded document to enumerate advantages and/or disadvantages of certain choices. This document analyzes the operational security issues associated with several types of network and proposes technical and procedural mitigation techniques. This document is only applicable to managed networks, such as enterprise building networks. The recommendations in this document are not applicable to residential user cases, even in cases where a Service Provider may be managing the home gateway. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsec-v6/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
