[DNA] [Fwd: I-D ACTION:draft-haberman-ipv6-ra-flags-option-00.txt]

Hi Folks,
   The ipv6 chairs have come up with a way to extend the flag bits in a 
router advertisement. The good news is that both the reserved bits in 
the current 8 bit flags field are available for allocation. Once a 
registry is setup for these bits we will go ahead and make a request for 
allocation of these two bits to the combined DNA proposal.

Cheers
Suresh

	Title		: IPv6 Router Advertisement Flags Option

The IPv6 Neighbor Discovery's Router Advertisement message contains
an 8-bit field reserved for single-bit flags.  Several protocols have
reserved flags in this field and others are preparing to reserve a
sufficient number of flags to exhaust the field.  This document
defines an option to the Router Advertisement message that expands
the available number of flag bits available.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in

	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
