RFC 8956, “Dissemination of Flow Specification Rules for IPv6”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2020 by C. Loibl, R. Raszuk, S. Hares. It updates RFC 8955. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
"Dissemination of Flow Specification Rules" (RFC 8955) provides a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) extension for the propagation of traffic flow information for the purpose of rate limiting or filtering IPv4 protocol data packets.
This document extends RFC 8955 with IPv6 functionality. It also updates RFC 8955 by changing the IANA Flow Spec Component Types registry.
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.
The canonical text of RFC 8956 is hosted at rfc-editor.org. Available in HTML,TXT,PDF,XML.
