where PA is available because connectivity to the global internet is available, i agree. but if the connectivity realm of interest doesn't happen to include a the global internet, NAT may not be nec'y even if ULA-G is used. i think that "architectural rejection" means "academy vs. field" and the field always wins. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
