Hi, I am currently extending AYIYA to do proper multihoming. As I intend to do wider-scale testing, outside of the very small test setup I am currently using, I was wondering what Option Types are reserved or can be used for this kind of testing. Because, just like the 206 ICMPv6 option for MLDv2, changing it after it has been circulated quite a bit can be a bit painful, indeed it is a part of the kernel. Reading: http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-parameters It apparently contains no reserved ones. Typically it would need a: act chg rest --- --- ----- 11 0 xxxxx AYIYA Option Header But what can I use for the last 5 bits? Exact contents of this header will come in the next update, -03 version of the AYIYA draft, which will also describe how it is used and I could of course fill in a general request form at IANA but then they will probably say that you need an RFC and bladiebla... while I just want to let people test it first ;) You need implementations of a thing anyway before it can become an rfc usually, this there is a small loop there. Greets, Jeroen PS: Yes, draft-ietf-multi6-things-to-think-about questions are answered positively and no dependency on DNS etc ;)
