For my thoughts, read 'real life scenario - requirements' (posted Thu 07 Aug, 2003, 1:54 am GMT). It think it quite adequately answers your questions. If not, perhaps you can rephrase them? It also explains why a 'disconnected' network might want to maintain a stable PI prefix for local use <emphasis>and continue to use that prefix locally even when global prefixes are available</emphasis>. A designated local prefix allows the wider network to filter these local use prefixes, providing disincentive for using them as *globally* routeable PI, and allows applications to favour local prefixes when available. -- Andrew White -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
