Hi Todd, I feel that we will have NAT-like situation in both cases (with/without site-local).
If we don't provide a "site-local" kind of address space (I prefer to say limited-range), the people will use any global prefix, trying to filter it, and sometimes creating global routing problems/conflicts. Take a look at http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-hain-templin-ipv6-limitedrange-00.txt. Regards, Jordi ----- Original Message ----- From: "Todd T.
