the problem of course is that such addresses are not for internal use forever. even if the net never connects to the public internet, the chance that the net will connect to some other network that does connect to the public internet are fairly good, and this invites potential address collisions. (though less likely in v6 than in v4, where most nets use RFC 1918 space...) seems like you really want some address space that - is unique - isn't provider-based - can be routed between private nets Keith -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
