Nothing wrong with that. Where I draw the line is encouraging use of LL as a general means of providing ad hoc network service, or claiming that it's a general-purpose feature rather than a fortuitous accident that happens to work for some apps. > Sure, there are an extremely small percentage of apps that do referrals, > or otherwise won't work with link-locals. You're projecting v4 assumptions onto a v6 world, and today's assumptions onto tomorrow's world. The internet keeps changing. Trying to impose the limitations of today's IPv4 apps onto tomorrow's IPv6 apps is as bad as insisting that IPv4 have all of the limitaitons of IPv6. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
