IPv6 Router Advertisement Flags Option
RFC 5075, “IPv6 Router Advertisement Flags Option”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2007 by B. Haberman, R. Hinden. It has been obsoleted by RFC 5175 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The IPv6 Neighbor Discovery's Router Advertisement message contains an 8-bit field reserved for single-bit flags. Several protocols have reserved flags in this field and others are preparing to reserve a sufficient number of flags to exhaust the field. This document defines an option to the Router Advertisement message that expands the available number of flag bits available. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
