-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi
This already came up on the list once before, and since its in AUTH48 now, I would like to make the changes to the document. Current section 4.2 has 3 parts, and the first two are 4.2.1. Shorten as Much as Possible The use of the symbol "::" MUST be used to its maximum capability. For example, 2001:db8::0:1 is not acceptable, because the symbol "::" could have been used to produce a shorter representation 2001:db8::1. 4.2.2. Handling One 16-Bit 0 Field The symbol "::" MUST NOT be used to shorten just one 16-bit 0 field. For example, the representation 2001:db8:0:1:1:1:1:1 is correct, but 2001:db8::1:1:1:1:1 is not correct. I would like to combine these two, and also clarify that you MUST use "::" when there are more then two consecutive 0 fields. The following is the text I plan to use. 4.2.1. When to use "::" If the address contains at least two consecutive 16-bit 0 fields, "::" MUST be used to compress all consecutive 16-bit 0 fields. The symbol "::" MUST NOT be used to shorten just one 16-bit 0 field. For example, the representation 2001:db8:0:1:1:1:1:1 is correct, but 2001:db8::1:1:1:1:1 is not correct. Please let me know by Aug 6, 2010 if you have any objections to this. Thanks and Regards, Seiichi -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAkxZTlAACgkQcrhTYfxyMkLNnACfbaXV00gkSPn0ZtsLvmgONr72 5WIAn0zKEaW61ab/H/jSWiAT80y7ORLT =kEsX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
