<curmudgeon> the ietf is becoming full of mechanisms of little use. yet there remain some very hard but useful and known to be usable problems to solve. can we spend our energies on these? on the other hand, there is the theory that it is better that idle hands be occupied with useless but non-damaging work lest they find damaging things to do. the problem with this approach is that the router code bases are unreliable and unstable. any unneeded additions will only make them worse. randy, a big fan of mbz -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
