[DNA] Document Action: 'Detecting Network Attachment in IPv6 Goals' toInformational RFC
The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'Detecting Network Attachment in IPv6 Goals '
<draft-ietf-dna-goals-04.txt> as an Informational RFC
This document is the product of the Detecting Network Attachment Working Group.
The IESG contact persons are Margaret Wasserman and Thomas Narten.
Technical Summary
At the time a host establishes a new link-layer connection, it may or
may not have a valid IP configuration for Internet connectivity. The
host may check for link change, i.e. determine whether a link change
has occurred, and then, based on the result, it can automatically
decide whether its IP configuration is still valid or not. During
link identity detection, the host may also collect necessary
information to initiate a new IP configuration for the case that the
IP subnet has changed. In this memo, this procedure is called
Detecting Network Attachment (DNA). DNA schemes should be precise,
sufficiently fast, secure and of limited signaling.
