I concur with the uselessness of the bits. However, I've heard some implementers who where talking about implementing extra code/logic to try to match what they thought the semantic of those bits was/should be/should have been... This is adding complexity, brittleness and opening doors to all kind of errors such as the ones Jim Calson pointed at.
So, maybe we should write a document: "M & O bits considered useless" and close the topic. - Alain. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ralph Droms [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 1:19 PM > To: Brian E Carpenter; Thomas Narten > Cc: Brian Haberman; Bob Hinden; William Allen Simpson; General Area > Review Team; Erik Nordmark; ipv6@ietf.org; Soliman,Hesham > Subject: Re: [Gen-art] Re: gen-art review of > draft-ietf-ipv6-2461bis-09.txt > > Yeah.
