Tüxen ISSN: 2070-1721 I. Rüngeler T. Völker Münster University of Applied Sciences September 2020 Packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery for Datagram Transports Abstract This document specifies Datagram Packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery (DPLPMTUD). This is a robust method for Path MTU Discovery (PMTUD) for datagram Packetization Layers (PLs). It allows a PL, or a datagram application that uses a PL, to discover whether a network path can support the current size of datagram. This can be used to detect and reduce the message size when a sender encounters a packet black hole. It can also probe a network path to discover whether the maximum…

Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) G. Fairhurst Request for Comments: 8304 T. Jones Category: Informational University of Aberdeen ISSN: 2070-1721 February 2018 Transport Features of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Lightweight UDP (UDP-Lite) Abstract This is an informational document that describes the transport protocol interface primitives provided by the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and the Lightweight User Datagram Protocol (UDP-Lite) transport protocols. It identifies the datagram services exposed to applications and how an application can configure and use the features offered by the Internet datagram transport service. RFC 8303 documents the usage of transport features provided by IETF transport protocols, describing the way UDP, UDP-Lite, and other transport protocols expose their services to applications and how an application can configure and use the features that make up these services.…

Liu Huawei Technologies February 2017 Recommendation on Stable IPv6 Interface Identifiers Abstract This document changes the recommended default Interface Identifier (IID) generation scheme for cases where Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) is used to generate a stable IPv6 address. It recommends using the mechanism specified in RFC 7217 in such cases, and recommends against embedding stable link-layer addresses in IPv6 IIDs. It formally updates RFC 2464, RFC 2467, RFC 2470, RFC 2491, RFC 2492, RFC 2497, RFC 2590, RFC 3146, RFC 3572, RFC 4291, RFC 4338, RFC 4391, RFC…
