Description of Working Group:
The purpose of this group is to design the mechanisms and procedures to
support the transition of the Internet from IPv4 to IPv6.
The work of the group will fall into three areas:
1. Define the processes by which the Internet will be transitioned
from IPv4 to IPv6. As part of this effort, the group will produce
a document explaining to the general Internet community what
mechanisms will be employed in the transition, how the transition
will work, the assumptions about infrastructure deployment inherent
in the operation of these mechanisms, and the types of
functionality that applications developers will be able to assume
as the protocol mix changes over time.
2. Define and specify the mandatory and optional mechanisms that
vendors are to implement in hosts, routers, and other components of
the Internet in order for the transition to be carried out. Dual
protocol stack, encapsulation and header translation mechanisms
must all be defined, as well as the interaction between hosts using
different combinations of these mechanisms. The specifications
produced will be used by people implementing these IPv6 systems.
3. Articulate a concrete operational plan for transitioning the
Internet from IPv4 to IPv6. The result of this work will be a
transition plan for the Internet that network operators and
Internet subscribers can execute.
The group will use the Simple SIPP Transition (SST) overview
document, draft-ietf-sipp-sst-overview-00.txt, as the starting point for
its work on the IPv6 transition.
The group will work closely with the main IPng Working Group (IPNGWG)
and the
IPng Address Configuration Working Group (ADDRCONF). The group will
co-ordinate with the TACIT group.
Goals and Milestones:
Dec 94 Submit Internet-Draft on General Overview of Transition.
Dec 94 Submit Internet-Draft of Transition Plan for the Internet.
Done Submit Internet-Draft on Specifications of Transition
Mechanisms for IPv6 Hosts and Routers.
Jan 95 Submit Internet-Draft on Specification of mechanisms for header
translating routers.
Done Sunbmit Specification of Transition Mechanisms for IPv6 Hosts
and Routers to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard.
Apr 95 Submit Specifications for Header Translating Routers document
to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard.
Jul 95 Submit Specification of mechanisms for header translating
routers to IESG for consideration as a Draft Standard.
Jul 95 Submit Specifications of Transition Mechanisms for IPv6 Hosts
and Routers to IESG for consideration as a Draft Standard.
