IPv6 Backbone Router
RFC 8929, “IPv6 Backbone Router”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2020 by P. Thubert, C.E. Perkins, E. Levy-Abegnoli. It updates RFC 6775, RFC 8505. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document updates RFCs 6775 and 8505 in order to enable proxy services for IPv6 Neighbor Discovery by Routing Registrars called "Backbone Routers". Backbone Routers are placed along the wireless edge of a backbone and federate multiple wireless links to form a single Multi-Link Subnet (MLSN).
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.
