Support for Adjustable Maximum Router Lifetimes per Link
RFC 8319, “Support for Adjustable Maximum Router Lifetimes per Link”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2018 by S. Krishnan, J. Korhonen, S. Chakrabarti, E. Nordmark, A. Yourtchenko. It updates RFC 4861. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The IPv6 Neighbor Discovery protocol specifies the maximum time allowed between sending unsolicited multicast Router Advertisements (RAs) from a router interface as well as the maximum router lifetime. It also allows the limits to be overridden by documents that are specific to the link layer. This document allows for overriding these values on a per-link basis.
This document specifies updates to the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (RFC 4861) to increase the maximum time allowed between sending unsolicited multicast RAs from a router interface as well as to increase the maximum router lifetime.
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.
