I don't know about any magic involved; I'm just interested in hearing about operational experience that would help us understand exactly what's involved in all of the possible cases.
Also, perhaps it was good that I asked the question, because I'm not sure I understand part of your response. You wrote "the address space needs to be coordinated, or a nat is required." for a "PI approach with better support for the multi-party app." I must have missed this part of the thread in the flood of e-mail on the topic - are we looking for a way to support applications that span multiple sites that each use site-local addresses?

There is no magic here, in this situation the address space needs to be coordinated, or a nat is required. Since we are all trying to avoid nat, the hammer approach is to simply ban SL. My argument is that it is more pragmatic to simply document the failure modes. If we can just do that, we will be able to put the effort into developing a PI approach with better support for the multi-party app. Tony -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
