Section4. states recommendation in this document SHOULD be followed by humans and systems when generating an address to represent as text, but all implementations MUST accept any legitimate [RFC4291] format. this was advised to me by Brian Carpenter that it was needed. Does this answer your question? > * I think recommendations 2 and 3 are redundant and can be merged into one. I assume you are talking about the conclusion. Do you think that it should read something like this? (2) "::" used to their maximum extent where shortens address the most I got a similar comment on v6ops BTW. > * I see a missing requirement that states that an occurrence of 2 or > more zero 16-bit groups MUST be compressed. So an address like > 2001:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 is still valid according to the current draft. You may be right. I thought '(2) "::" used to their maximum extent whenever possible' did enough to clarify, but a little rewording might be needed. Thanks. > * I think Appendix D is completely out of place in this document and > should preferably be removed. (I also agree with Dave's comment about > Appendix A) Appendix A, yes I would go with dot-decimal also. Appendix D, I don't know. I thought it would be informative to other operators (since we have to pronounce addresses fairly often over the phone)...
