I am still of the belief that limiting the routing prefix to 64 bits is a
shortsighted design choice that will limit the lifetime and applicability
of IPv6. Anything we can do to discourage the notion that an interface
ID shall be 64 bits now and forever is, IMHO, a good idea.
Just checking: is this an agreement or a disagreement on the proposed text for rfc2462bis, or is this just an opinion on the (seemingly) fixed constant of the IFID/prefix length?
In any event, the proposed text does not contain a hard-coded "64" and does contain a note that an implementation should expect a different length of IFIDs/prefixes than the one currently used. So I guess you can live with it.
No responses...I interpreted the silence as a sort of agreement, and I'm going to close this issue with the proposed text.
If the previous message was sent to me, I missed it. But yes, I do support the proposed text.
