[v6ops] Working Group Last Call for <draft-ietf-6man-grand-03.txt>

[Bob Hinden <[e-mail]>]

This message starts a new two week 6MAN Working Group Last Call on advancing:

        Title           : Gratuitous Neighbor Discovery: Creating Neighbor Cache Entries on First-Hop Routers
        Author          : Jen Linkova
	Filename        : draft-ietf-6man-grand-03.txt
	Pages           : 21
	Date            : 2020-09-15
        https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6man-grand

as a Proposed Standard.  As noted earlier, we are doing a second working group last call because the Area Directors requested that this draft be combined with <draft-ietf-v6ops-nd-cache-init>.  This version of the draft does that.  V6ops is being copied on this last call.

Substantive comments and statements of support for publishing this document should be directed to the [e-mail] mailing list.  Editorial suggestions can be sent to the author.  This last call will end on 2 October 2020.

Thanks,
Bob & Ole

> Abstract:
>   Neighbor Discovery (RFC4861) is used by IPv6 nodes to determine the
>   link-layer addresses of neighboring nodes as well as to discover and
>   maintain reachability information.  This document updates RFC4861 to
>   allow routers to proactively create a Neighbor Cache entry when a new
>   IPv6 address is assigned to a node.  It also updates RFC4861 and
>   recommends nodes to send unsolicited Neighbor Advertisements upon
>   assigning a new IPv6 address.  The proposed change will minimize the
>   delay and packet loss when a node initiate connections to off-link
>   destination from a new IPv6 address.
