Jari Arkko tells us that he is getting requests from various sources to take RFC 5006 to Proposed Standard. It is now experimental.

(1) Please take a look at the document in the next few days; if you have comments on it (eg, you think it should be changed in some way), please comment to v6ops.
(2) Vendors, please advise on implementations. Are there any? Has interoperability been demonstrated?
Firebrick FB6000 series as of release V0.00.402-Gerald Alpha (9th Mar 2010) supports announcing RDNSS addresses as part of RA.
(3) Operators, enterprise and/or service provider, please advise on deployment experience.
We have deployed in our offices and found nothing seems to take any notice of the RDNSS announcement. We found we had to run rdnss on linux to pick up addresses and it has slightly odd handling of the /etc/resolv.conf file when dhcp client also running and only on more recent installations.
I'm adding a brief discussion to the agenda Monday morning with a view to getting a quick thumbs-up/thumbs-down to advise Jari, who can then take that to 6man later in the week if appropriate. BTW, I have had a flurry of email related to the agenda. The current agenda may be found at http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/10mar/agenda/v6ops.html
