Hi all,
Thanks to everyone who commented during the IETF Last Call of
draft-ietf-6man-rfc4291bis-07. The IETF last call discussion for this draft was
passionate (and sometimes heated). The discussion was mainly focused on the
64-bit boundary in IPv6 addressing and the associated text in Section 2.4. I
have had a lot of private one to one and group discussions with several folks
who had commented and contributed text suggestions to get a better idea of
their concerns. There seems to be a strong divide between parts of the
community on whether this restriction should stay or be relaxed. Looking at the
viewpoints expressed and how wide apart they are, it has become clear that
there is a lack of consensus to advance the current draft as Internet Standard.
Based on this lack of consensus, I have decided to return the draft back to the
working group to continue discussion.
Thanks
Suresh
