OSPFv3 over IPv4 for IPv6 Transition
RFC 7949, “OSPFv3 over IPv4 for IPv6 Transition”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2016 by I. Chen, A. Lindem, R. Atkinson. It updates RFC 5838. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a mechanism to use IPv4 to transport OSPFv3 packets. Using OSPFv3 over IPv4 with the existing OSPFv3 Address Family extension can simplify transition from an OSPFv2 IPv4-only routing domain to an OSPFv3 dual-stack routing domain. This document updates RFC 5838 to support virtual links in the IPv4 unicast address family when using OSPFv3 over IPv4.
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.
