Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) H. Singh Request for Comments: 7084 W. Beebee Obsoletes: 6204 Cisco Systems, Inc. Category: Informational C. Donley ISSN: 2070-1721 CableLabs B. Stark AT&T November 2013 Basic Requirements for IPv6 Customer Edge Routers Abstract This document specifies requirements for an IPv6 Customer Edge (CE) router. Specifically, the current version of this document focuses on the basic provisioning of an IPv6 CE router and the provisioning of IPv6 hosts attached to it. The document also covers IP transition technologies. Two transition technologies in RFC 5969's IPv6 Rapid Deployment on IPv4 Infrastructures (6rd) and RFC 6333's Dual-Stack Lite (DS-Lite) are covered in the document. The document obsoletes RFC 6204.

Informational [Page 2] RFC 7084 IPv6 CE Router Requirements November 2013 1. Introduction This document defines basic IPv6 features for a residential or small- office router, referred to as an "IPv6 CE router", in order to establish an industry baseline for features to be implemented on such a router. These routers typically also support IPv4. Mixed environments of dual-stack hosts and IPv6-only hosts (behind the CE router) can be more complex if the IPv6-only devices are using a translator to access IPv4 servers [RFC6144]. Support for such mixed environments is not in scope of this document. This document specifies how an IPv6 CE router automatically provisions its WAN interface, acquires address space for provisioningShow full document text
