The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the
following document:
- 'Experimental Values In IPv4, IPv6, ICMPv4, ICMPv6, UDP and TCP Headers '
<draft-fenner-iana-exp-2780-02.txt> as a Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send any comments to the
iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org or ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by
2006-03-01.
The file can be obtained via
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-fenner-iana-exp-2780-02.txt
I note that the draft asserts:
3.4.1. IPv6 Unicast Addresses
No experimental IPv6 addresses are defined. For certain experiments,
Unique Local Addresses [RFC4193] may be useful. It is not
appropriate to use addresses in the documentation prefix [RFC3849]
for experimentation.
Whereas RFC2928 states:
"The block of Sub-TLA IDs assigned to the IANA (i.e., 2001:
0000::/29 - 2001:01F8::/29) is for assignment for testing and
experimental usage to support activities such as the 6bone, and
for new approaches like exchanges."
[RFC2928]
I also note that draft-huston-ipv6-iana-specials-01.txt (currently with David
Kessens in AD review) advocates formalizing this with the creation of an IANA
IPv6 special use registry.
A further revision of the document appears to be appropriate in this case to
correct what appears to be a factual error here.

Geoff Huston
