Internet Protocol Version 6 over MAPOS (Multiple Access Protocol Over SONET/SDH)

Abstract

This memo documents a way of carrying IPv6 packets over MAPOS networks. This document is NOT the product of an IETF working group nor is it a standards track document. It has not necessarily benefited from the widespread and in-depth community review that standards track documents receive. AbstractMultiple Access Protocol over SONET/SDH (MAPOS) is a high-speed link-layer protocol that provides multiple access capability over a Synchronous Optical NETwork/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SONET/SDH).This document specifies the frame format for encapsulating an IPv6 datagram in a MAPOS frame. It also specifies the method of forming IPv6 interface identifiers, the method of detecting duplicate addresses, and the format of the Source/Target Link-layer Addresses option field used in IPv6 Neighbor Discovery messages.IPv6 over MAPOS July 2003 This document specifies the frame format for encapsulating an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) [4] datagram in a MAPOS frame, the method of forming IPv6 interface identifiers, the method of detecting duplicate addresses, and the format of the Source/Target Link-layer Addresses option field used in Neighbor Discovery messages such as Router Solicitation, Router Advertisement, Neighbor Solicitation, Neighbor Advertisement, and Redirect messages.In the remainder of this document, the term "MAPOS" is used unless the distinction between MAPOS version 1 [1] and MAPOS 16 [2] is required.
