IPv6 Standards and Working Groups
Since the early days of the Internet, the Internet Engineering Task Force has created and defined all of its standards through Working Groups, which discuss and issue informal Internet-Drafts on specific topics.Once 'rough consensus and working code' is achieved, the results are published through the RFC (Request for Comments) document series. As well as Standards, the IETF also publishes Experimental, Informational and Historic RFCs, and Best Current Practices documents. See RFC2026 - The Internet Standards Process - for more information.
The current IETF Working Groups focussed specifically on IPv6 are linked below, with their current Internet-Drafts and published RFCs:
- IPv6 Working Group (ipv6)
- responsible for the specification and standardization of the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).
- IPv6 Operations (v6ops)
- develops guidelines for the operation of a shared IPv4/IPv6 Internet, including how to deploy IPv6 into existing IPv4-only networks, and into new network installations.
- Mobility for IPv6
(mip6)
- specifies routing support for an IPv6 host to continue using its home address as it moves around the Internet, enabling continuity of sessions.
- Site Multihoming in IPv6 (multi6)
- considers multihomed sites in IPv6, i.e. sites which have more than one connection to the public Internet, to improve fault tolerance and load balancing.
- Site Multihoming by IPv6 Intermediation (shim6)
- works on specifications for an IPv6-based site multihoming solution that inserts a new sub-layer (shim) into the IP stack of end-system hosts.
- Mobile Nodes and Multiple Interfaces in IPv6 (monami6)
- works on simultaneous differentiated use of multiple access technologies for mobile hosts and mobile routers.
- IPv6 over Low power WPAN (6lowpan)
- for control and sensor (transducer) networks based on wireless technologies, with multiple robust devices, limited space, low power and low cost.
