+ IANA Considerations for IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
+ Prefix Information Option Flags
+
+Abstract
+
+ The Prefix Information Option (PIO) in the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
+ Router Advertisement message defines an 8-bit flag field; this field
+ has two flags defined, and the remaining 6 bits are reserved
+ (Reserved1). RFC 6275 defines a flag from this field without
+ creating an IANA registry or updating RFC 4861. The purpose of this
+ document is to create an IANA registry for the PIO flags. This
+ document updates RFC 4861.
+
+Status of This Memo
+
+ This is an Internet Standards Track document.
+
+ This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force
+ (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has
+ received public review and has been approved for publication by the
+ Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Further information on
+ Internet Standards is available in Section 2 of RFC 7841.

+1. Introduction
+
+ The Prefix Information Option (PIO) in the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
+ Router Advertisement message defines an 8-bit flag field; this field
+ has two flags defined and the remaining 6 bits are reserved
+ (Reserved1). RFC 6275 defines a flag from this field without
+ creating an IANA registry or updating RFC 4861. The purpose of this
+ document is to create a new registry for the PIO flags.
+
+2. Current Prefix Information Option Flags
+
+ Currently, the Neighbor Discovery Protocol Prefix Information Option
+ [RFC4861] contains the following one-bit flags defined in published
+ RFCs:
+
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ |L|A|R|Reserved1|

+
+
+3. Updates to RFC 4861
+
+ This document updates Section 4.6.2 "Prefix Information" of [RFC4861]
+ to point to the IANA registry that is created in this document (see
+ Section 4).
+
+ Specifically, the current list of flags in the Prefix Information
+ Option can be found in the "IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Prefix
+ Information Option Flags" registry.
+
+4. IANA Considerations
+
+ IANA has created a new registry for IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Prefix
+ Information Option flags. This registry includes the current flags
+ in the PIO. The initial contents of the registry are as follows:
+
+ +----------------+---------------------------------+-----------+
+ | PIO Option Bit | Description | Reference |
+ +----------------+---------------------------------+-----------+
+ | 0 | L - On-link Flag | [RFC4861] |
+ | 1 | A - Autonomous Address | [RFC4861] |
+ | | Configuration Flag | |
+ | 2 | R - Router Address Flag | [RFC6275] |
+ | 3-7 | Reserved | |
+ +----------------+---------------------------------+-----------+
+
+ Figure 2: IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Prefix Information Option Flags
+
+ The assignment of new flags in the PIO option header requires
+ Standards Action [RFC8126].
+
+ The registry for these flags is available at
+ <http://www.iana.org/assignments/icmpv6-parameters>.
+
+5. Security Considerations
+
+ This document has no security considerations.
