The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Maintenance WG (6man) to consider the following document: - 'Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMPv6) Reflection' <draft-ietf-6man-icmpv6-reflection-11.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2025-10-26. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes the ICMPv6 Reflection utility. The ICMPv6 Reflection utility is a diagnostic tool, similar to Ping and the ICMPv6 Probe utility. It is similar to Ping and Probe in that it relies on a stateless message exchange between a probing node and a probed node. The probing node sends a request to the probed node and the probed node responds to the request. The ICMPv6 Reflection utility differs from Ping and Probe because, in the ICMPv6 Reflection utility, the probing node requests a snapshot of the message that it sent, as it was when arrived at the probed node. The probed node returns the requested snapshot. The ICMPv6 Reflection utility is useful because it can allow the user to see how the network modified the request as it traveled from the probing node to the probed node.
