Transmission of IPv6, IPv4, and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Packets over Fibre Channel

This document specifies the way of encapsulating IPv6, IPv4, and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets over Fibre Channel. This document also specifies the method of forming IPv6 link-local addresses and statelessly autoconfigured IPv6 addresses on Fibre Channel networks, and a mechanism to perform IPv4 address resolution over Fibre Channel networks. This document obsoletes RFC 2625 and RFC 3831. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
