I think that SLAAC should be deployed in the sites which use the prefixes longer than 64.
Don't put a limit on the prefix length. DHCPv6 can be deployed in the sites which use the prefixes longer than 64.Why can't SLAAC? It is not reasonable. No. EUI-64 requires 64 bit host id's. 48 bits is from the MAC. How would you plan to squeeze blood out of the proverbial turnip? 010100110110010101101101011100000110010101110010001000000100011001101001 Jeremy Duncan Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) BE-BI INFOCON 3, IPv6 Architect Command Information Google Voice: (540) 440-1193 _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Yu Hua bing Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2011 9:50 AM To: [email protected]; Brian E Carpenter Cc: Thomas Narten; ipv6; Scott W Brim Subject: [BULK] Re: draft-yhb-6man-slaac-improvement-00 Importance: Low I think that SLAAC should be deployed in the sites which use the prefixes longer than 64.

I'd take that sentence a step or two further: "I'd rather get IPv6 deployed in a uniform way." or even simpler: "I'd rather get IPv6 deployed." To be (perhaps overly) blunt: IMHO the changes proposed in this draft create unneeded confusion, solve a problem that is either non-existent or is readily solved in other ways and can create functional problems / detriments to actual deployment.
