How to keep up to date
The intention is for this book to be kept up to date by its user community. However, for the very latest information on IPv6 operational best practices and protocol details, readers may wish to track the discussions in the relevant IETF working groups, in particular IPv6 Operations (v6ops) and IPv6 Maintenance (6man). These groups are open to all, although following the discussion can be quite time-consuming.
The final results of these working groups are published as Internet Request for Comments documents (RFCs), freely available from the RFC Editor. Warning: obsolete RFCs are never modified or deleted. It is essential to look at the current status of an RFC before trusting it. For example, the current status of the 2017 version of the main IPv6 standard is shown at this info page.
This book intends to cite the latest version of all the RFCs it mentions, but it never hurts to check the info page.
Also see the Further Reading chapter for more explanation about RFCs and for other resources.
