Description of Working Group:
Editor: Bob Hinden (hinden@eng.sun.com)
The next generation of the Internet Protocol (IPv6) is intended to
support Internet traffic for many years into the future by providing
enhancements over the capabilities of the existing IPv4 service. This
working group will produce specifications for the core functionality of
that service. The working group shall carry out the recommendations of
the IPng Area Directors as outlined at the July 1994 IETF and in ``The
Recommendation for the IP Next Generation Protocol,'' Internet-Draft,
(draft-ipng-recommendation-00.txt), September 1994.
The working group shall use the following documents as the basis of its
work:
- Simple Internet Protocol Plus (SIPP) Specification (128 bit version)
- SIPP Addressing Architecture
- An Architecture for IPv6 Unicast Address Allocation
- Simple SIPP Transition (SST) Overview
- SIPP Program Interfaces for BSD Systems
- SIPP Security Architecture
- SIPP Authentication Header
- SDRP Routing Header for SIPP-16
- IP Next Generation Overview
- ICMP and IGMP extensions for SIPP
- FTP Operation Over Big Address Records (FOOBAR)
- DNS Extensions to support SIPP
Enhancements to be considered:
- Large Packets: Consider extensions for support of datagrams which
are
larger than 64K.
- Source Routing: The working group shall consider enhanced source
routing capabilities for IPng.
- Tunneling: Complete specification of IPng in IPng tunneling.
- Address format and assignment plan: The working group shall review
the
details of address structure as specified in [SIPP-16] and shall
repair any deficiencies with respect to current or near-term
addressing requirements, assuming a fixed, 16-byte size. The
specification shall provide a mechanism for supporting multiple
additional formats, for possible enhancement to incorporate other
popular addressing schemes.
- Routing Structure: In completing the addressing details, the working
group shall ensure that routing according to current, CIDR-like
schemes can be supported comfortably.
- Autoconfiguration: Coordinate with the IPng Address
Autoconfiguration
Working Group.
- Transition: The working group shall coordinate with the related
transition and conversion efforts (ngtrans, tacit, nosi, etc.) to
ensure that the base specification provides the facilities required
for the transition from IPv4.
- Security: A set of base documents for IPng security shall be
completed. This shall include algorithms for authentication and
privacy carried as IPng extension headers and include an initial
selection of required encryption and key management algorithms and a
facility to support other optional algorithms. The working group
should also examine IPng firewall issues and if necessary develop
specific firewall frameworks.
- Minimum MTU: Consider a larger minimum MTU.
- Header Compression: Consider ways to abbreviate the IPng header in
the
contexts of native IPng, multiple IPng packets in a flow, and
encapsulated IPng.
- TCP/UDP: The IPng Working Group will specify the procedures for
hosts
to compute and verify TCP/UDP pseudo-headers. Any other changes to
TCP beyond making TCP work with IPng are out of scope of the working
group and should be dealt with by a TCPng Working Group.
The IPng Working Group will coordinate with other groups, including
Mobile IP, IPng Address Autoconfiguration, OSPF, IS-IS, RIPv2, IDR,
Security, Applications, Network Management, IP over ATM, etc.
Goals and Milestones:
Done Submit preliminary IPng core specifications, with required
enhancements, as Internet-Drafts.
Done Submit revised core IPng specifications as Internet-Drafts.
Done Submit core IPng specifications to IESG for consideration as
Proposed Standards.
Done Submit extended IPng specifications as Internet-Drafts.
Done Submit extended IPng specifications to IESG for consideration
as Proposed Standards.
Done Submit revised specifications to IESG based on implementation
experience for consideration as Draft Standards.
Done Submit revised IPng specifications as Internet-Drafts.
Done Submit final IPng specifications to IESG for consideration as
Standards.
Aug 97 Submit revised specifications to IESG for Proposed Standard.
Includes Aggregatable Unicast Formats, IPv6 over Ethernet, IPv6
over FDDI, IPv6 over Token Ring, IPv6 over PPP, Header
Compression, etc.
Aug 97 Submit updated core IPng Specifications to IESG for Draft
Standard. Includes: Protocol, Addressing Architecture,
Addressing Documents, ICMP, Neighbor Discovery, Address Auto
Configuration, DNS, etc.
Jan 98 Submit IPng specifications at Proposed Standard to IESG for
advancement to Draft Standard.
Jun 98 Submit IPng specifications at Draft Standard to IESG for
advancement to Standard.
