(I've not read the the uri-zoneid draft, but anyway) In terms of RFC4007 zone indices are primarily numeric numbers. Only in the textual representation of <address>%<zone_id>, and only optionally for convenience, the zone_id part can be a more human-understandable form, such as an network interface name that can uniquely identify the corresponding zone in the context of <address>%<zone_id>. --- JINMEI, Tatuya Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
