1. Introduction
The IP: next generation (IPng) area in the IETF is soliciting white
papers on topics related to the IPng requirements and selection
criteria.
All interested parties are invited to submit white papers detailing
any specific requirements that they feel an IPng must fulfill or any
factors that they feel might sway the IPng selection. An example of
the former might be a submission by a representative of a utility
company detailing the scaling and addressing features which would be
required to service future inclusion of utility meters on the
network. An example of the other case might be a paper outlining the
potential effect on IPng of some sections of the future network
connectivity being provided via wireless networks.
At this time, we are not accepting white papers that evaluate
specific IPng proposals. This type of document will be accepted
after the various proposal documents are deemed to be clear and
complete.
Bradner & Mankin [Page 1]
RFC 1550 IPng White Paper Solicitation December 1993
All white papers will be reviewed in a process described below. As a
result of these reviews, each white paper will receive the focused
attention of the IPng directorate and the community. The white
papers will be used as resource materials by the IPng Area working
groups, the directorate, the external review board and the area
directors, during the selection process.
The deadline for the submission of these white papers is February 1,
1994, though early submission is encouraged.
Submit white papers, general or topic questions, and so on, to
ipng-wp@harvard.edu.
2. Document Review Process
All submitted documents will first be reviewed for clarity by members
of the IPng directorate and the external review board. This review
may produce suggestions to the author on areas of the document where
there may be some confusion as to the meaning. Authors are urged to
consider any such suggestions as constructive and to reexamine their
text in light of the suggestions.
A separate technical review will then be done of the white paper.
This review will be conducted within the context of the document.
That is, the review still will not make value judgments on the white
papers, but will assess technical feasibility. This review may also
produce suggestions to the author.
The document will be submitted as an Internet-Draft after these
reviews have been completed and after whatever (if any) revisions
that the author decides to make. After a suitable period of time
these documents will be submitted as informational RFCs unless
withdrawn by the author. These documents will comprise a part of the
historical record of the IPng process.
3. Document Format Requirements
All white papers must follow the format requirements listed in RFC
1543 and must not exceed 10 pages in length. (The relevant portion of
RFC 1543 is included in this document as Appendix A.) They should
not include the "status of memo" section; this will be added when the
documents are posted as Internet Drafts. The reference version of
the document must be in ASCII as is current practice with all RFCs.
A PostScript version of the document may be submitted in addition to
the ASCII version. (See RFC 1543 for the formatting procedures to use
with PostScript documents.)
