Something that has been overlooked is the number of bits in each section. How was this number determined? Is it the right number of bits for each level? Is there a technical reason for sticking with octet boundaries here? Does there need to be an actual boundary between the RIR and LIR section at all? I think that the RIR section has too many bits (there are 5 of them) and the LIR section has too few. It seems to me that the boundary between RIR and LIR should be left unspecified. IANA can allocate chunks of whatever size is needed to RIRs as those needs arise. --Michael Dillon -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
