Transmission of IPv6 over Master-Slave/Token-Passing Networks
RFC 8163, “Transmission of IPv6 over Master-Slave/Token-Passing Networks”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2017 by K. Lynn, J. Martocci, C. Neilson, S. Donaldson. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Master-Slave/Token-Passing (MS/TP) is a medium access control method for the RS-485 physical layer and is used primarily in building automation networks. This specification defines the frame format for transmission of IPv6 packets and the method of forming link-local and statelessly autoconfigured IPv6 addresses on MS/TP networks.
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.
