Actually, I think what we (the IETF) should do about it is create specifications which explain what the reason for the specification is used for, and under what circumstances optimizations may be useful. This is actually what one of intentions has been for the Cellular Hosts document. In discussing RFCs with non-IETF folks, some of the requirements in RFCs can seem to be rather arbitrary. thanks, John -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
