I had a comment on the ICMPv6 spec which I mentioned to Steve Deering in Yokohama and promised I'd also send to the list:
I'd like to see an ICMPv6 error message value assigned for the case where a node would need to send a packet from a specific address, but cannot because that address is anycast (since the other end has no other good way of knowing this is the case). One example of this is if a node receives a TCP SYN on an anycast address, today it apparently has to silently drop the SYN, and the other end can't tell why. No existing ICMPv6 error message applies to this case. (Also I had mentioned that the RFC does not say what to do when receiving an anycast Echo Request, but draft -02 already does so no problem there.) -Dave -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
