If the registries are using /56, why recommend what they have tried and found wanting?

/56 is a choice currently used by the registries. That doesn't
invalidate using /48, if you consider that to be a more interesting
allocation unit to consider. So I don't see a problem with
"(e.g. on a basis of /48)".

Colleagues,

Ooops,

HD is calculated for prefixes, but on the basis of /56

(since November 2007)

Best,

HD is calculated for prefixes (e.g. on a basis of /48), instead of *being*
based on endpoint addresses as IPv4 is.

(the second part needed a verb)

It is not clear that the 6bone space discussion is appropriate for this document, and restating what is effectively a policy will cause a problem
in
the future. Removing the last sentence of 2. and all of 2.3 will not
impact
the intent of this document. Given that the stated target audience is
network managers that have not figured out an IPv6 addressing plan,
confusing them with a discussion about ancient history is not helpful.

Subject: v6ops-addcon and longer than 64 bit prefixes

Folks,

Draft-ietf-v6ops-addcon was in IESG review and there was a lot of
discussion about the recommendations an earlier version of the draft
had
about prefix lengths longer than 64 bits. The draft has now been
revised
to what we believe is reasonably consistent with reality and existing IPv6 address architecture RFCs. However, it would be good to give the
6MAN WG a chance to review the text.

Please take a look at the document and the given two sections in
particular:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-v6ops-addcon-10
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-v6ops-addcon-10#section-3.1
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-v6ops-addcon-10#appendix-B

If there is no objection the draft will be approved. Please comment by
September 30th.

Jari
