Though rfc2026 says:
A specification for which significant implementation and successful
operational experience has been obtained may be elevated to the
Internet Standard level. An Internet Standard (which may simply be
referred to as a Standard) is characterized by a high degree of
technical maturity and by a generally held belief that the specified
protocol or service provides significant benefit to the Internet
community.
does rfc1981bis qualify?
But, no response yet.
In all fairness, your message was received two weeks after the end of a four
week IETF last call (March 1). The editor and the shepherd are busy going
through the responses received during the last call period trying to converge
on text change proposals.
It seems to me that rfc1981 operationally failed
For example, see my presentation at APNIC32
How Path MTU Discovery Doesn't work
https://meetings.apnic.net/__data/assets/file/0018/38214/pathMTU.pdf
as a proof accepted by operational community that rfc1981 style
PMTUD has been, is and will continue to be failing.
I went through the presentation (very interesting) and it looks like you are
talking about multicast PMTUD. Your point about ICMP filtering breaking PMTUD
is valid has been raised many times during the last call. It has not really
been *quantified* though (i.e. how much ICMPv6 filtering is there on the
Internet). One piece of work (from 2012) that I am aware of
http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/downloads/publications/pmtu-black-holes-msc-thesis.pdf
<http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/downloads/publications/pmtu-black-holes-msc-thesis.pdf>
did a fairly large scale study using RIPE Atlas probes (~1000 vantage points
for IPv4 and ~400 vantage points for IPv6) that showed that ICMPv4 was filtered
for between 4-6% of the paths while ICMPv6 was filtered for only 0.77-1.07% of
the paths. I would like to know if there is any more recent measurement
information that indicates ICMPv6 is not workable on the Internet. That would
certainly help me judge whether 1981bis will qualify or not in the “successful
operational experience”.
Thanks
