[Witarea] draft-martin-retry-over-ipv6-02 requesting review/additional comments

[Franck Martin <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

Some suggested that a 4xx code could be better, so I checked the pros and cons and added language in this draft on the various aspects of 566 vs 466. Also checked if there is any current behavior for common software for retrying after any HTTP error code.

Spolier alert: 566 still seems better.it is not an error on the client part, It is the server that refuses to honor the connection.

This new draft has this added language:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-martin-retry-over-ipv6/

To be noted, I implemented this draft on my site: https://pacific.ipv6forum.com/ so that on the 6th of every month, IPv4 is not served. I had some implementation nits that prevented me from getting good logs. I hope this time I will have better logs, therefore better reports to share with folks.

In a couple of days, the site will show a banner announcing the IPv4 outage.

At the moment, I have not convinced a WG to formally “host” the discussion. I won’t be able to attend IETF Vienna as to gather more support, but appreciate if some folks could be a proxy.
