Hi The node requirements draft has some requirements which "MAY" be supported. However in the absence of some rigidity ( MUST or SHOULD ) these requirements do not convey any information.
A requirement like "IPv6 Jumbograms [RFC2675] MAY be supported." is as good as its absence from the draft altogether. The draft in its introduction says "Many IPv6 nodes will implement optional or additional features, but all IPv6 nodes can be expected to implement the mandatory requirements listed in this document." Should the draft stick to only those reqirements that are essential and steer clear of the others ?? After all it might be tough to capture all optional features in the draft. regards Praveen ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 21, 2003 5:07 AM Subject: RE: Mobility in Nodes Requirements > Hi all, > > > I agree, at least to a degree: I believe the optimal category should be > > BCP or Informational.
