Hi,

I’m working with other authors who are v6ops contributors to update RIPE554, “"Requirements For IPv6 in ICT Equipment”

The original version is now 9 years old - https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-554

The working google doc for the update is:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/10HsfHDOIhUPIvGk9WP0azJiIsMVzQ49RsqWfnbNtceI/edit

We have updated the dated references, such as 2460 going to 8200, and added proposed mandatory and optional specs that have been published in the past 9 years, for the different categories of equipment in the document.

Comments can be made here but would be better directed to the RIPE IPv6 WG which you can subscribe to at:
https://www.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/ipv6-wg/

We’re hoping to get the document into a final draft before RIPE83 in November.

Best wishes,
Tim
