Looks like we had a misunderstanding. Did the authors think of the configured subnetwork identifier of the existing text as being configured for a particular rule, in effect another rule parameter? I took it to be configured as a single value used in conjunction with all FMRs to calculate the target MAP IPv6 addresses.

Tom,

I think that captures the intent. However, I see a possible difficulty: 
differing lengths of the End-user IPv6 prefix for different CEs. We have to add 
two conditions:

-- the configured subnetwork identifier is at least
            64 - min (n + o)
bits long, where the minimization is taken over all FMRs in the domain

-- the subnetwork identifier used with a given calculated End-user IPv6 prefix 
uses the right-most (64 - (n + o)) bits of the configured subnetwork 
identifier, where (n + o) is taken from the FMR used for the calculation.

Seems simpler just to restrict to the all-zeros value, but please comment.

I can't see how different End-user IPv6 prefix lengths within a domain can work.


The End-user IPv6 prefix length obviously has to be the same for all nodes 
using the same BMR, but couldn't, for example, the PSID width (i.e., the 
sharing ratio) vary from one BMR to another?

absolutely. 'everything' can be different between different BMRs within the 
same domain.

cheers,
Ole
