One of the advocated uses of site local addresses was for disconnected sites. However, Dino made the point in the meeting that, if a site is truly disconnected, it can just as well pick any random addresses it wants. The absence of a "reserved range" (a la RFC 1918) will pressure the disconnected site to renumber when it actually connects, rather than go on using private addresses and a NAT.
In fact, most large sites have at least one IPv4 address, and they can get a unique 2002::/48 prefix out of that address, even if they don't have an actual IPv6 ISP yet. -- Christian Huitema -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
