SIIT-DC (RFC7755) and SIIT-DC Dual Translation Mode (RFC7756) specify
extensions to the Stateless IP/ICMP Translation Algorithm (SIIT) to accommodate
DC deployment contexts, in particular. These two RFCs specify the behavior of
two elements (SIIT-DC Border Relay (BR), SIIT-DC Edge Relay (ER)). The
specifications not only provide operational guidance, but also specify
normative implementation functions that are essential to ensure
interoperability and deterministic behavior, so that IP communications are
successfully established.

The SIIT extensions specified in RFC7755 and RFC7756 are widely accepted,
implemented [1][2], and deployed. Thus, operational experience supports this
reclassification from Informational to Proposed Standard.

Consistent with its Charter [3], V6OPS WG requests the reclassification of
these two RFCs to Proposed Standard.
