agree the text needs to be clarified. it is as necessary to do DAD for all addresses (apart from the link-local) on PPP links as it is for Ethernet links. btw: since you are using the term "Interface-Token" are you referring to the old PPP RFC, and not RFC2472? /ot -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
