[...] So we are not seeing a lot of pro IPv4 LLA arguments. I think it is important that those arguments be given as much light as possible. http://www.zeroconf.org/ contains a lot of documentation about the protocols behind bonjour, IPv4 LLA, and related topics. Speicially http://www.zeroconf.org/QDIPv4LL.html gives an argument for how easy it is to implement IPv4 LLA (I think they overstate how easy it is by missing the issues that have to dealt with in mixed networks or during transition) and what some of its uses are. mph _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
