Thus spake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
A site is a network of computers with a single administration,
this can mean indeed a major corporation (who maybe even
require multiple /48's which is why rfc4193 is a bit off to cover
those cases)
Where has the IETF redefined the meaning of the word "site"?
In plain English, this word refers to a distinct physical location such
as an office or building or campus.
This has been a longstanding problem in the IETF; in fact, the inability to
agree on what "site" means was one of the reasons SLAs were deprecated. The
word "site" is often abused to mean "administrative domain" rather than
"physical location" due to the ISP-centric nature of the IETF and RIRs.
It's virtually impossible to tell, in any particular context, which meaning
an author meant. We need to stop using the word entirely...
