Jan I agree with your proposals. Both for new doc (even if I would love to get he security beefed up!) And for the errata/clarifications about MLD Eric ----- Message d'origine ----- De : Jan Zorz @ go6.si [mailto:jan at go6.si] Envoyé : Thursday, May 30, 2013 12:02 PM À : ipv6-wg at ripe.net <ipv6-wg at ripe.net> Objet : Re: [ipv6-wg] RIPE 554 Errata Page On 5/29/13 10:59 AM, Ivan Pepelnjak wrote: > Have to agree.

As this suggestion makes total technical sense to me, I would say to change that line in something like: "If a support for device ports operating also in L2 mode is required, then the device must support MLDv2 snooping [RFC4541]" Now, the chairs and community needs to decide, if that falls under errata or is that a bigger change. Personal opinion: adding RFC6946, RFC 6620 (SAVI FCFS), RFC 6583 (NDP cache exhaustion) and other RFCs to the document - that's a big change and should go in next editorial of a -bis. Changing MLDv2 snooping from unconditional to "if functionality required" and still in mandatory section - that might be seen as not that big change after all. Cheers, Jan P.S: Compiling the lists of changes, will post the link when considerably long enough ;)
