Spencer - thanks for your review and helpful comments. You've correctly understood the Length and Prefix-Length fields; I'll update those definitions.
Regarding "Reserved - Always set to zero": I'll check the definition of the Framed-IPv6-Prefix in RFC 3162 to understand the common practice (if any). I'll add a box around the table and the final draft will have a citation for RFC 3162 (def of Framed-IPv6-Prefix). - Ralph On 5/30/06 6:58 PM, "Spencer Dawkins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, Joe and Ralph, > > I am the assigned Gen-ART reviewer for this draft.
