I agree with Tero here; if NBNS for IPv6 is not even defined, and nobody could have implemented this part of RFC 4306, then just removing the whole attribute (and marking the number RESERVED) sounds like a good way forward.

I think there is no point of keeping the 'compatibility with RFC 4306<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4306>' for feature that cannot be used. I would simply remove the whole INTERNAL_IP6_NBNS and mark it RESERVED. Paul: Not done. This should be discussed on the mailing list. Yaron: I support Tero on this. Input from IPv6 implementors would be most useful.
