Internet Engineering Task Force T. Chown Internet-Draft Jisc Obsoletes: 6434 (if approved) J. Loughney Intended status: Best Current Practice Intel Expires: September 20, 2018 T. Winters UNH-IOL March 19, 2018 IPv6 Node Requirements draft-ietf-6man-rfc6434-bis-08 Abstract This document defines requirements for IPv6 nodes. It is expected that IPv6 will be deployed in a wide range of devices and situations. Specifying the requirements for IPv6 nodes allows IPv6 to function well and interoperate in a large number of situations and deployments. This document obsoletes RFC 6434, and in turn RFC 4294. Status of This Memo This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79. Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
