I understand where you are coming from but ICMPv6 is not just another protocol. It is a core protocol in the IPv6 protocol suite. Do you know of any systems that support IPv6 acls but not support ICMPv6 there? > > Let us not boil the ocean. As it is, this draft has been in the works for > more than 4 years.

If you do feel otherwise, I will be glad to revisit my position Regards Suresh _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/netmod
