which problem? there are several. with regards to the NANOG reference, I don't quite see the similarity. I haven't seen any implementation sourcing packets with a link-local source and these getting anywhere. what I suggested was just to do one of: 1) link-locals only. ICMPs, traceroute etc take a suitably scoped source address from e.g a loopback or some other interface. 2) link-locals plus a global /128 if one wants per interface addresses for ICMPs etc. BGP peerings and what not could use link-local addresses. e.g: router A -------------- router B fe80::1 fe80::2 dead:beef::1/128 c001:cafe::2/128 no shared subnet between A and B apart from fe80::/10. cheers, Ole -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
