Erik, Come on. You can't implement or understand MIPv6 if you don't have ND down. It is not even possible. The engineers in MIPv6 are clearly qualified to work to enhance ND.
I don't believe moving it to separate spec will make it more implementable at all. MIPv6 is no longer a MUST. All your doiung with this support is holding up MIPv6 again. That's all. Adding no value. /jim [Honor, Commitment, Integrity] > -----Original Message----- > From: Erik Nordmark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 9:35 PM > To: Pekka Savola > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: MIPv6 and ND value changes > > > > FWIW, I fully support Thomas Narten on his view that MIPv6 > should not > > be > > making all of these assumptions to e.g. Neighbor Discovery > timer values. > > I think this makes sense as well.
