Hi, I have one question. The I-D restricts zoneid names to 15 characters:
ZoneID = 1*15unreserved This raises the question why limiting this to 15 characters. I know that at my Linux and MacOS X boxes have this limit (and I would not be surprised if BSDs do as well) but at the end it is a #define. So the question is whether this limit should be hard coded in the URI format. Looking at RFC 3986, I see reg-name = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims ) or port = *DIGIT and it appears there is no limit in the URI format on DNS names or port numbers (even though today's DNS and transport protocols put limits on those things). /js PS: I am asking this question because there is a MIB object ifName that has a limit of 255 ASCII characters (I assume basically due to SNMP constraints) and there is a YANG module in the making which currently allows 255 UTF-8 characters and I think it would be nice to think a moment about how these things fit together. PS: RFC 3493 only says there is a constant IF_NAMESIZE - so the socket API does not really say what the interface name size limit really is. -- Juergen Schoenwaelder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1, 28759 Bremen, Germany Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <http://www.jacobs-university.de/> -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
