[Ray] Mike, your quoting in the above message was rather strange, so I've tried to re clarify who wrote what. [Ray] http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-cheshire-mdnsext-hybrid-01 is proposing that both the domain name and the IPv6 address change as nodes move across subnets within homenet AFAICS. [Ray] Changing domain names (and thus URL) when a device moves within homenet is bad IMHO. _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
