I can not see the OSS/NMS/BSS vendor requiring that their customer must run Cisco router IOS 12.1 or higher. Therefore the application needs to have some minimal dual intelligence built in. Or this is how I see it, and thus the people speaking out against the local addresses are right it means more work for them rather than the customers running it. And this is as it should be. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
