Folks -
I dropped in a draft regarding a routing problem I was asked about by
a person from Cisco IT. The real value is a use case for the ULA (and
specifically the centrally-assigned one, if we are going to do that)
in private (non-ISP) business-to-business communications. Some ISPs
right now are arguing that only ISPs should have access to centrally-
assigned classes of ULAs, which seems an unnecessary restriction at
best. It also documents the fact that there exists non-ISP Business-
to-business networking, where the IETF generally views Internet
connectivity as being either within the enterprise or something
specific to ISPs. You may also find the problem presented interesting
intellectually, and you may have comments you would like to make. I'd
personally suggest that discussion be on [EMAIL PROTECTED], as this
is an operational issue, but I thought I would drop a note here as a
"heads-up".
Any comments you have are of interest. I don't plan to pursue this as
a v6ops WG document, although we can go there is someone wants it to.
I'll probably just mail it off to the RFC Editor at some point, though.

one
for IPv6.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
