disconnected sites - should use some sort of PI space - either globally-unique or probably-unique intermittently-connected sites with stable addresses - should use PA space, even when disconnected. nomadic sites, and intermittently-connected sites without stable addresses - should use mobileIP externally. I am working on a proposal to allow them to use PI addresses internally without disrupting the operation of applications. multi-homed sites - this is being worked on by another group. granted it is a difficult problem. > I'm trying to keep an open mind about this stuff, but I continue to > see nothing of substance coming from the anti local addressing camp. that's because a few people are still trying to push SL. note that SL doesn't "solve" the above problems either. > So, unless there is some grand solution currently being architected in > some skunkworks project out of the public eye, are you really doing > anything more than just empolying stalling tactics? not stalling. I want the group to focus its energy in useful directions, not in directions already shown to be counterproductive. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
