For me "more addresses" is the *only* justification for IPv6. All the other "useful" features are either uninteresting or even *unwanted*. I'm sort of okay with RA on customer links (though I would much rather have a more featureful DHCPv6). For my backbone links RA is simply out of the picture, not even interesting to discuss. The "failover" capabilities of IPv6 with RA I would much rather solve with HSRP/VRRP. etc. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sth...@nethelp.no -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
