FEC0::/10 or /48?

2003-01-16 Thread Mario Goebbels
Hi!

I think my question is best answered in this mailing list. When I read
books about IPv6, they mention always an 48bit prefix for SL addresses,
but reading the archives of this list, the people discuss about a 10bit
prefix. Is FEC0::/10 valid now, or still a draft or subject to change
and FEC0::/48 still standard?

Thanks for your help

Hi Mario,

The new addressing architecture has been approved for publication
as a Draft Standard, and should be published shortly.  So, the
FECO::/10 is official.

Advancing as a Proposed Standard?  I assume you didn't mean DS because 
I'm not sure how widely that is implemented yet, but rather publish it as 
PS ?

I don't have problems with this, though I'm not sure how useful this is 
for most (but for some, certainly).

A point I've raised in the past is, most operators are not really
interested in optimizing the address assignments on a bit level (provided
that the number of customers is not so high it would be required).  
Rather, here we do so with nibbles.  Those are easier to calculate in the
head and work better with reverse DNS delegations too.

But I'm not sure whether this kind of coarser approach for flexible
assignment calls for some text or not.  A mention at most, I think.  
What do others feel?
