Well, just for fun, I keep using SL for internal connections. One never knows when my global connection may break or change prefix, at a whim of ISP. Or maybe I have two ISP connections, one is cheaper during day, other cheaper during night, and I just alternate between them. > Indeed 'just pick some random address' if you don't want to > be connected to the rest of the world.

Can I be the "registrar"?. It might be nice cash flow for very little work. > Indeed global addresses. Where did the need for SL go again? > > Still no reason for keeping SL's... Still, can keep them in spec as is. - nobody forces you to use SL's on your site, if you don't want. It's just an option for those who think they can take advantage of it. - applications do not need to care about them. They just SL's as any other address. - IPv6 stacks have already been impelmented based on scope addressing. There is the source address selection rules, also implemented. It hurts noone to keep the current spec AS IS. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
