ok, but if any special routing support for SL is removed, then the only thing left is a private address space for SL. as in ipv4 case, i'm not aware of any application treating 10.x.x.x addr any different from the global routable ones. ] ] > if your point is the global reachable hosts can't directly reach ] > those private hosts, well, that is part of the purpose to use ] > private addresses. ] ] people want it both ways. they want private hosts to be able to ] participate in apps that reach outside the local net, and they want ] those hosts to be protected from external threats. but address scoping ] is the wrong tool for this problem. ] - Naiming -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
