Dear all, Many thanks for the individuals who read the draft and provided some comment.
My read of the the answers received in this thread is there is no strong reasons to question the design choices as documented in the draft. FWIW, I just submitted a updated version taking into account the comments received during the IETF LC: * Editorial changes as suggested in SM's review * Title change (comment from C. Bormann) * Added a new section to describe the algorithm to embed/extract the IPv4 address (comment from C. Bormann) * Added some pointers to documents making use of the address format (comment from C. Bormann) * Added an appendix to explain why an M-bit is needed (comment from C. Bormann) * Added an appendix to explain why an address format is needed (comment from C. Bormann) * Added examples of means to provision the MPREFIX64 (comment from C. Bormann) Diff from previous version: http://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-mboned-64-multicast-address-format-02 Cheers, Med ________________________________ De : ipv6-boun...@ietf.org [mailto:ipv6-boun...@ietf.org] De la part de mohamed.boucad...@orange.com Envoyé : vendredi 4 mai 2012 14:50 À : mboned-cha...@ietf.org; ipv6@ietf.org Cc : Brian Haberman; draft-ietf-mboned-64-multicast-address-for...@tools.ietf.org Objet : draft-ietf-mboned-64-multicast-address-format Dear all, During the IETF LC for draft-ietf-mboned-64-multicast-address-format, Brian suggested to use the remaining flag instead of reserving ff3x:0:8000/33 (SSM) and ffxx:8000/17 (ASM) blocks. FYI, we have considered that approach in an early version of the document but it has been abandoned because of comments we received at that time. We recorded the rationale behind our design choice in: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-mboned-64-multicast-address-format-01#appendix-A.2. We are seeking more feedback from 6man and mboned on the following: (1) Should we maintain the current design choice (2) Or adopt the suggestion from Brian? FWIW, discussion related to this issue can be found here: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/mboned/current/msg01508.html. The latest version of the draft is available at: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-mboned-64-multicast-address-format-01 Your help is appreciated. Cheers, Med
