A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the IP Over Asynchronous Transfer
Mode Working Group of the IETF.                                            

       Title     : IPv6 and Neighbour Discovery over ATM                   
       Author(s) : G. Armitage
       Filename  : draft-ietf-ipatm-ipv6nd-02.txt
       Pages     : 15
       Date      : 04/29/1996

This document attempts to describe and summarize some current proposals for
running IPv6 over ATM, and identifies open issues that require resolution 
by one or more IETF working groups.  The frame formats for unicast and 
multicast transmission of IPv6 packets in a UNI3.1 based ATM environment 
are specified. Some issues regarding the construction of IPv6 link-local 
addresses are identified, and a proposal made.  A format for source and 
target link-layer address options in Neighbor Discovery messages is 
suggested, and the interactions between IPv6 Neighbor Discovery and 
existing IP over ATM models are outlined.                    

This revision is looks at the three models that were presented at the 
Los Angeles IETF in March 1996, in a joint session of the IPATM, IPNG, 
and ROLC working groups.  No firm decisions were made at this 
joint meeting. Readers are encouraged to locate and review the 
Internet Drafts describing each model in greater detail.    
                                          
Further discussion of the issues raised in this document is requested, 
as not all questions are currently answered satisfactorily.
