Essential Correction for IPv6 ABNF and URI Comparison in RFC 3261
RFC 5954, “Essential Correction for IPv6 ABNF and URI Comparison in RFC 3261”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2010 by V. Gurbani, B. Carpenter, B. Tate. It updates RFC 3261. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document corrects the Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) production rule associated with generating IPv6 literals in RFC 3261. It also clarifies the rule for Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) comparison when the URIs contain textual representation of IP addresses. [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.
