In your previous mail you wrote: draft-ietf-ipngwg-icmp-name-lookups-08.txt But your friendly IESG doesn't want you to have that tool in your hands until you've been told exactly where to point it.
=> I take advantage of the occasion to support the ICMPv6 name-lookup mechanism: this is very useful when a rogue router for instance sends stupid router advertisements. You know what is its link-local addresses and using ICMPv6 name-lookups (ping6 -w on BSDs) you get its name effortlessly (and even when the IPv6 config was completely messed). This can become a major tool for network management, thanks Matt!
