I can not see how SLAs are any of this wg's business, or ietfs
businness. thought SLA was something for the laywers that
write the contracts governing any SLAs to fight out between
them?
Site-Local Addresses, the predecessor to Unique Local Addresses.
As far as why "site" has been abused to mean "administrative
domain", that comes from the IETF and RIRs being very ISP-
centric, as I said; a single downstream connection denotes a
single "site" regardless of how complex the internal network
behind it is or how many other locations it serves. Or maybe
it doesn't, depending on who's talking; that's the problem.
that downstream connection is ONE site for the upstream
provider, will probably never be anything else. Why should it
be anything else really? If the same "site" bought two
connection to an ISP on different location they would still be
one huge site, with several internal parts, two that the ISP need to know
about.
No, that's one interpretation of the word. Others (notably the person I was
responding to) consider every physical location to be a "site" even if a
large set of locations all share a single internal network and single
uplink.
What I'm not sure you realize is that the moment anyone define
a site to be something very specific... there will come alot of
exceptions to that list, not to forget discussion on how to
interprent whats written there.
We already have extensive disagreement on interpretation due to lack of any
agreed-upon definition.
