what we mean it to be routed to is less important than what people who use it will actually route it to. let's focus for now on examples involving many networks run by folks with diverse goals. any time you propose a rule like "not meant to be XYZ" you have to be able to say how that rule will get enforced, and what the internet will look like if enforcement doesn't happen. > ... and, golly, can't we be smarter this time around? so far, not. > >Should routers not forward ULAs under any circumstance? > > Routers, meaning any routers?

(Except maybe to black-hole them ,that is) is the dfz the only place these routes shouldn't go? how will this be enforced, if cooperating connectees to the dfz all want to do it anyway? if we can't agree on "what's a site" then can we ask "what's ``private''" ? -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
