One could also envision using multiple interface IDs on a single interface to (auto)configure multiple addresses on that interface using a single prefix. For example, a host receives a single global prefix from its router and configures multiple global addresses using that single prefix. -Sebastien -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
