The IP Over NBMA (ION) Archive

[Internet-Drafts@CNRI.Reston.VA.US]

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the Internetworking Over NBMA 
Working Group of the IETF.                                                 

       Title     : IPv6 and Neighbor Discovery over ATM                    
       Author(s) : G. Armitage
       Filename  : draft-ietf-ion-ipv6nd-00.txt
       Pages     : 15
       Date      : 06/13/1996

This document attempts to describe and summarize some current proposals for
running IPv6 over ATM, and identifies open issues that require resolution 
by one or more IETF working groups.  The frame formats for unicast and 
multicast transmission of IPv6 packets in a UNI3.1 based ATM environment 
are specified. Some issues regarding the construction of IPv6 link-local 
addresses are identified, and a proposal made.  A format for source and 
target link-layer address options in Neighbor Discovery messages is 
suggested, and the interactions between IPv6 Neighbor Discovery and 
existing IP over ATM models are outlined.                    

This revision looks at the three models that were presented at the 
Los Angeles IETF in March 1996, in a joint session of the IPATM, 
IPNG, and ROLC working groups.  No firm decisions were made 
at this joint meeting. Readers are encouraged to locate and 
review the Internet Drafts describing each model in greater detail.                                              

Further discussion of the issues raised in this document is requested, 
as not all questions are currently answered satisfactorily.

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ion-ipv6nd-00.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.
