Body 
Dear Colleagues,

The Broadband Forum (BBF) would like to inform you that the new work item
“Security Considerations for IPv6 Broadband Networks” has been approved by
Access & Transport Architecture Work Area at BBF Spring Meeting in March 2024.

The project scope includes:
 Review of current BBF specifications on IPv6 security, including TR-146,
TR-177, TR-187, TR-242, TR-296, for impacts and required updates.  Provide up
to date deployment considerations for IPv6 on Broadband Networks. 
Introduction and reference to relevant IPv6 security techniques defined by
other SDO, including the IETF.  New IPv6 security requirements for broadband
network elements including RG, Access nodes and BNG.

We look forward to continuing the productive cooperation with you.

Sincerely,
Lincoln Lavoie,
Broadband Forum Technical Committee Chair
