Yes, it is a shame that the bitace thing references RFC4193 and then does not use it. Lets Bcc: them and see if they act upon, you never know if they fix things or not, there are good guys still left on these Internets. > Still, don't make up your own squat > range for "private" IPv6 space. Use ULA if you really want such a thing. I am wondering what you meaning with 'squat', note that what I reference above is real full RFC4193 calculated ULA. The optional registration thingy is just optional for those that don't trust probability and want to have a little more security. Also lots of folks like to claim something as their own and well storage bits are cheap for that little amount of info and reassures a lot of folks. Greets, Jeroen
