Just a small comment - 2462 (stateless aa) is a MUST. Additionally, manual configuration is always a possibility as well. If certain hosts know they don't need DHCP, then I don't see the problem of having DHCP as a MAY. In general, stateless address autoconfig is a good thing, so we want to encourage service providers to do the right thing. br, John -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
