Basic Support for IPv6 Networks Operating Outside the Context of a Basic Service Set over IEEE Std 802.11
RFC 8691, “Basic Support for IPv6 Networks Operating Outside the Context of a Basic Service Set over IEEE Std 802.11”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2019 by N. Benamar, J. Härri, J. Lee, T. Ernst. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document provides methods and settings for using IPv6 to communicate among nodes within range of one another over a single IEEE 802.11-OCB link. Support for these methods and settings require minimal changes to existing stacks. This document also describes limitations associated with using these methods. Optimizations and usage of IPv6 over more complex scenarios are not covered in this specification and are a subject for future work.
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.
