IETF IPv6 Folks,

The focus of discussion has been with regards to one proposed change to
2462bis, because of its impending release status.  However, this is not
the primary focus of our I-D.  The primary focus is clearing up
misconceptions related to data forwarding and address resolution with
respect to on-link determination.  We have found host bugs that have
matched areas of 2461 and 2462 that are not clear, concise, and
explicit.

We originally wanted to make changes to 2462bis I-D, but since it's in
AUTH state, that may not be possible anymore.

If you want, we can let 2462bis I-D not make our proposed change, but
our security case and solution needs to be addressed in an I-D to
highlight the problem with older implementations that can skip DAD. It
would be preferable if the security problem and its solution is
presented in 2462bis, but if that's not possible, then we'll discuss it
in our I-D.

We have other issues we want to address in our I-D, and we don't want to
have this issue prevent other issues from being discussed.

- Hemant and Wes

I'm afraid I'm now a little confused, so please let me be sure about one
thing first: are you still requiring us to incorporate your proposed
change in the coming 2462bis RFC?  Or are you now starting a discussion
as a separate thread from the publication of 2462bis?
