I would suggest everybody generally understands and agrees with the default enforcement of GUPI non-routability contributed by Bob, Christian and Michel. Silence is probably agreement. > > Indeed.

Merging networks (which includes creating VPNs) was a hard problem with traditional site-locals, with the new GUPI models it is no problem or at least a very rare problem. By the fact that Keith has sent one or two emails on this topic, but not anymore than that, tends to suggest that most if not all his objections to traditional site-local addressing have also been addressed to an extent by the new GUPI models - or maybe it's just that his keyboard broke :-) Mark. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
